Business Continuity Management Systems

The April 2025 M&S cyberattack continues to make headlines and has reinforced the need for organisations to invest in developing cyber incident response and crisis management plans that align with a comprehensive resilience strategy.
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.
Cyber attacks continue to make headline news; every organisation should have considered how they would respond to a major cyber incident.
In an ideal world, the security controls you put in place are enough and threat actors have no interest in looking for new vulnerabilities to exploit or developing new approaches to access your systems.
Cyber security is now such a threat that, in the early part of 2022, the Government launched a nationwide Cyber Security Strategy.
In general, we try not to be too negative when it comes to the likelihood of an organisation, of any size, being hit by a cyber-attack, but for the sake of our clients, we also need to be realistic.
Because so many of our business processes depend on technology, most organisations rely heavily on their IT team to keep networks running smoothly and revenue generating activity operating consistently.
Discussions around ‘hacking back’ are increasing proportionately with the rate and scale of disruptive hostile cyber action on large corporate organisations.
