Cybersecurity law is the area of law that asks whether you are protecting your information sufficiently. If a data breach happens, the relevant authority will want to know what steps you took to comply with information security law.  Our workshop provides insight into what you need to do to comply and how you can achieve this.

We offer a presentation, seminar, workshop, or executive briefing on this topic by an expert with practical experience. We also offer an online cybersecurity compliance programme.

Why is cybersecurity important?

Because it prevents people and companies from suffering harm when their personal information is compromised, or they fail to protect someone else’s personal information and they suffer damage to their reputation, get put under strict regulatory scrutiny, or get fined or imprisoned as a result.

There are four aspects to information security:

  • Physical – the locked doors, walls, and security systems that keep your data safe;
  • Technical – the firewalls, encryption, and passwords that prevent hackers from getting unauthorised access;
  • Operational – the training and awareness you give to your personnel to ensure that they do the right thing and don’t fall foul of phishing attacks or otherwise compromise your security; and
  • Administrative – the policies and procedures that tell your organisation and the world how you protect personal information.

Organisations are often strong when it comes to physical and technical information security, but weak in terms of operational and administrative security. We can help you be strong in all four aspects, ensuring that your information is secure and that you comply with the various laws and regulations.

  • Be aware of the worth that the information you process has to you and your data subjects.
  • Navigate the information security requirements in relevant data protections laws.
  • Get the things you can buy and manage things you can’t when it comes information security regulation.
  • Be ready to respond to incidents.

The workshop is divided into four sections covering:

  • The first module is all about how to be aware of the worth that the information you process has to you and your data subjects.
  • The second module covers how to navigate the information security requirements in relevant data protections laws.
  • The third module deals with how to get the things you can buy and manage things you can’t when it comes information security regulation.
  • The final module looks at how to be ready to respond to incidents.

If you are certain that you should specifically only be looking at Cybersecurity compliance we can present a private in-house workshop. This can take the form of an in-person executive briefing or a full day workshop  presented by an expert with practical experience. We aim to give practical insights that you can use to be effective. We do not give law lectures! We will refund you if you do not think you received value.

We also offer tailored private events that can be held at your premises on a day that suits you. You may also be interested in attending a information security webinar. 

We are able to provide private, in-house workshops to you at your premises. For more information, email our support desk ([email protected]) to get in touch to discuss a suitable date.

We help organisations comply with information security laws. It is meant for you if you are a director, manager or other executive:

  • responsible for managing your business
  • with the authority to make decisions about that business
  • and the power to put those decisions into action
