Frequently Asked Questions
How can a cyber-security policy reduce the chances and consequences of a cyber-attack?
A cybersecurity policy is important because it will set the standards for behaviour/procedures within an organisation. By ensuring that all employees understand the rules regarding IT, the risk of security breaches are massively reduced. Unfortunately it is usually human error which results in cyber attacks, data breaches and virus issues.
What happens if my business in not GDPR compliant?
Non-compliance with data protection laws can incur fines of up to £17.5m or 4% of the firm’s worldwide revenues whichever amount is higher. Individuals can be prosecuted too. The ICO has a range of penalties it can impose.
What is a privacy policy?
A privacy policy is a statement often seen on a website, that details how the company acquiring or controlling personal data will collect, store, protect and utilise personal data provided by its users.
What is GDPR?
The Data Protection Act 2018 is the UK’s implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). There are seven key principles to processing personal data under the legislation:
- Lawfulness, fairness and transparency
- Purpose limitation
- Data minimisation
- Accuracy
- Storage limitation
- Integrity and confidentiality
- Accountability
What is meant by a data breach?
When confidential data is released either by accident or intentionally it is called a data breach. The data leak is not necessarily the result of a cyber attack; it could occur as the result of poor security practices.
