New cyber security challenges for the professional services sector
Cyber security and data protection are high on the agenda for most professional services firms. As trusted advisers, maintaining an unblemished reputation plays a key role in their success, so cyber breaches are a significant threat.
With the digital environment constantly evolving, it’s essential that your firm keeps pace with these changes. Cyber criminals are continually developing their methods, so information security has become even more important for business professionals. Clients rely on their trusted advisers to protect their confidential and personal data, so firms must be confident about their internal processes, as well as those of suppliers and partner organisations.
Is your firm on track for GDPR compliance?
New challenges are always on the horizon. Since May 2018, all organisations that hold information on EU data subjects are required to comply with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Failure to comply will result in tough penalties, with breached organisations risking fines of up to 4% of annual global turnover or €20 million – whichever is greater. The GDPR presents a new set of challenges for firms of all sizes that hold data on European residents.

In addition to tough financial penalties, getting it wrong with cyber security and data protection risks seriously damaging your firm’s reputation. Getting it right, however, will protect your firm’s reputation, minimise risk and maintain the level of trust that your clients deserve.
With many years of experience in the professional services sector, IT Governance can help you better understand the cyber security risks facing your firm, ensure that your defences are robust and help you through the many challenges ahead.
