Cybersecurity | Datahub Consulting

Why is Cybersecurity Important?

Cybersecurity is a means of putting the controls and safeguards in place to protect an organisations IT security and infrastructure, to ensure that all the data is secure. Organisations need to protect against the theft, loss, and unauthorised access to systems. These safeguards need to be in place to protects the organisational data and the data of any data subjects.

Data that is considered personal information has tight international laws that protect the data. Cybersecurity is part of the controls and security that are in place to provide compliance to the data protection laws.

Within your organisation consider

Private and restricted organisational data;
Sensitive data;
Intellectual property data;
Personal information that could include names, date of birth, account details, credit card information of customers, etc.

There are people and organisations that want to get access to, or take copies of this data.

What is Risk Management?

Risk management is to anticipate any potential risks and to mitigate as many of the risks as possible. The process of risk management is to identify the digital assets within an organisation. Review the security measures in place, and if necessary, implement a solution to mitigate the security risk. The process that we use to achieve this is:

Identify the risk
Access the risk
Mitigate the risk with security controls
Review and Monitor controls

Security Strategy

Cybersecurity Health Check

Like with data privacy laws, Datahub Consulting can conduct a soft audit to test how resilient your Cyber security is, and to identify any weaknesses.

These can be reported back in an audit report to the business with recommendations, and if necessary, an action plan to overcome the areas of concern.

Compliance with Security Standards

There are security standards that organisation can adopt to safeguard against cybersecurity threats.

Unfortunately, threats will always happen, and organisations need to have the necessary processes in place to prevent loss or unauthorised access to any data.

ICO 27001

ISO/IEC 27001 is the world’s best-known standard for information security management systems (ISMS). It defines the requirements an ISMS must meet.

Datahub Consulting have supported organisations on their journey to be ISO 27001 certified. We understand the framework that is needed for compliance and will work with your organisation to meet the requirements.

Risk Management Framework

Datahub uses the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) framework with any Cybersecurity project.

With the NIST framework it allows Datahub to integrate IT security, data privacy, and cyber supply chain risk management into one framework.

With Datahub providing both Cybersecurity services and Data Protection services, using the NIST framework allows us to couple the management of systems, data, and the controls with one approach.

Are you Compliant with the EU NIS 2 Cybersecurity Framework?

Cybersecurity rules have been modernised and made more robust by the update to the EU NIS framework. The NIS 2 directive ((EU) 2022/2555) provides legal measures to boost the cybersecurity withing the European Union. This legislation will run along side the EU GDPR (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) that governs the use of personal information. NIS 2 directive will govern the security of Network and Information Systems providing organisations within member states with resilience against cyber-attacks.

Depending on the industry, mid-size and large companies will need to be compliant as of October 2024.

Datahub Consulting can provide information as well as support with the implementation and compliance of NIS 2. We can work with organisations to prove a gap analysis, action plan, and recommendations for compliance. As well as ongoing support and detailed audits.
