The UK Government and the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) have launched a major new cyber security campaign urging businesses to “lock the door on cyber criminals.” Designed particularly with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in mind, the message is simple but critical: cyber security is no longer optional. As digital dependency grows, so too does the financial and operational impact of cyber crime. For SMEs, this campaign could not be more timely.

Principal Security Consultant Paul McLatchie provides proactive steps to help your organisation stay resilient in a rapidly changing cyber landscape.

Everyone needs a disaster recovery plan... These days, we're primed to expect the unexpected. It used to be a common misconception that only large enterprises or global corporations need a well-rounded disaster recovery plan. But of course, disruptions, whether from cyber attacks, natural disasters, or system failures, affect businesses of every size and in every sector. Preparing for the unexpected is not just good practice, it’s essential. A disaster recovery plan forms the foundation of your response to major disruptions and is also useful for planned events such as migrations, upgrades and office moves. At its most basic, a disaster recovery plan defines how your data is backed up, where it’s stored, and who’s responsible for restoring operations. For larger organisations, the plan becomes more complex, factoring in alternative workspaces, communication strategies, equipment replacement, and more. Below, we share the ten essential steps to help you create an effective disaster recovery plan that supports business continuity, complete with explanations and top tips for successful planning.

You already protect your organisation with advanced cyber security solutions like MDR, penetration testing, and cloud security. These solutions significantly strengthen your security posture, adding valuable layers of defence — helping you to keep attackers out and threats under control. But here’s the reality: even the strongest security cannot prevent every incident. Human error, supplier failures, power outages, or even natural events can bring your operations to a standstill. That’s where Business Continuity comes in — ensuring that when the unexpected happens, your organisation doesn’t just survive, it continues to thrive.
