Explaining how digital incidents severely impact the real world can be difficult, but we are increasingly seeing cyber incidents that illustrate how malicious actors can impact our daily lives.
If you’re responsible for or involved with Information Security in your organisation, when you’re planning for the year ahead, your risk and compliance activities likely have a prominent space on your to do list.

At worst, information assurance consultancy can risk feeling like paying somebody merely to tell you what you already really know; or even performing work that, at least theoretically, you could do yourself.
When we help our clients with their cyber and information security, one area that we sometimes find neglected is identity and access management (IAM).
As best practice, being able to address security requirements with your critical service providers is consistently included in all of the major cyber security standards.
