information-wise: putting you in control of your data

Protecting information in this digital age is one of the most important issues that individuals and organisations need to address. From an individual’s online banking details to a company’s private client list, it requires discipline and good security practice to avoid the pitfalls. Countering the risks and implementing safeguards is a hugely challenging and often bewildering task. More often than not it is often well down many people’s priority list until something happens, and only then is action taken: often this is far too late.

The internet age brings huge benefits and opportunities, but it also brings risks. With my help, you’ll be better equipped to avoid the risks and have the confidence to take advantage of the opportunities.

Cyber Threats

Hardly a day goes by without some alarming headline: for example

• The UK government’s Office of Cyber Security estimated it costs the UK a staggering £27,000,000,000 a year
• Identity theft is Britain’s fastest growing crime, increasing at nearly 500% per year
• A third of EU internet users in 2010 caught a PC virus despite having security software installed

Scary stuff, but with a little effort anyone can implement defensive layers to drastically reduce the danger. I offer independent, trustworthy advice and consultancy to put you in control.
