London, UK (PRWEB UK) 13 April 2016
Smaller privately owned businesses have a unique set of data security challenges.
MD of Commensus, Alex Parker explains “Our clients face an inventive and resourceful adversary in cyber criminals, often in house IT teams struggle to compete and prepare against this committed adversary. Small global offices managing local data, protected by local data protection laws can create complicated (and costly) IT environments to manage. We’re acutely aware that many of our clients simply cannot afford any down time as a result from a cyber-attack, it’s why our service focuses of ‘100% business continuity’.
The rise of data blackmail in organisations such as Ashley Madison, highlights the need for business owners to take the protection of their investors and clients information seriously. Parker continues “Many of our clients manage data from institutions and individuals who take the protection of their information very seriously and breach of this would result in a serious loss of reputation. We understand that and data security breach has a massive effect on our client’s reputation.
