It goes without saying that information and data is one of your business’s most valuable assets. In spite of this the average mid-sized business finds it hard to justify employees devoted solely to information security.

However, in a world where digital data transfer is so vast and intrinsically linked to internal and external communication, now is the time to prioritise your information risk strategy. Besides the obvious problems of inefficiency associated with data loss there is also a very real risk to reputation that could result in legal action. Contrary to popular belief, it’s not all about investing in the next generation of security technology, there are many low cost wins that can be found in addressing issues of corporate culture and employee behaviour.
