Book your Cyber Review today and uncover hidden risks before attackers do.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n<h2>What does it mean?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n<p>NIS stands for the Network and Information Systems Regulations. It\u2019s a UK law that requires essential service providers (like energy, transport, health, and digital infrastructure) to take strong steps to protect their IT systems from cyber threats.\n\nIf your organisation is in scope, you must manage risks, report major incidents, and follow best practices \u2014 or face fines and regulatory action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Cyber risk is the potential for harm from threats like data breaches, hacking, or digital fraud. These risks can lead to financial loss, reputational damage, or business disruption. Managing cyber risk is essential to protect your data, systems, and operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>The NIST Cybersecurity Framework is a set of best practices and guidelines that helps organisations understand, manage, and reduce their cybersecurity risks. Originally designed for critical infrastructure in the U.S., it\u2019s now used by businesses of all sizes \u2014 including small and medium ones \u2014 to build stronger, more flexible defences against cyber threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) is a legal framework from the EU that sets strict rules on how organisations collect, use, and protect personal data. Breaching GDPR can result in serious fines \u2014 up to 4% of your organisation\u2019s global turnover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>A cybersecurity culture means everyone in your business understands the importance of staying secure \u2014 and takes it seriously. It\u2019s about building habits, awareness, and responsibility across your team to reduce the risk of breaches and protect your data, systems, and reputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nColin is, first and foremost, a man of integrity. His commitment, confidence, and ability to communicate effectively have been key in successfully turning around a failing IAM project\u2014something others before him had struggled to achieve. In a short space of time, he has built and maintained the trust of senior stakeholders, including those at the C-suite level.\n\nHis skills go well beyond IAM, spanning the broader Security space, making him a highly versatile professional. On a personal level, Colin is kind, considerate, and sociable. He\u2019s a great addition to any team but is equally capable of delivering as an individual contributor. He\u2019s always open to sharing his knowledge and supporting others through coaching and mentoring.\n\nI wouldn\u2019t hesitate to work with Colin again and wholeheartedly recommend him to any organisation looking for a dedicated and highly skilled security professional..\nI am thrilled to recommend Vera Mehet for her exceptional work as an Agile Coach. Vera is an outstanding professional with impressive technical skills and a great facilitator who brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to every project she takes on.\n\nVera\u2019s ability to connect with people and understand their needs is remarkable. Moreover, I had the pleasure of working with Vera as we scaled agile ways of working across our DevOps domain and her contributions were invaluable. Her technical expertise and agile coaching skills were instrumental in moving teams toward high performance. She is empathetic, supportive, and always willing to lend a helping hand\nI had the pleasure of working with Suman when I was a Project Manager and he joined the team as our Test Manager. He played a key role in helping us understand how the system behaved across different scenarios and worked closely with stakeholders to make sure nothing was missed.\n\nSuman was great at breaking down complex requirements and turning them into solid, well-thought-out test cases. He didn\u2019t just write them\u2014he took the time to walk different teams through the logic and made sure everyone was aligned.\n\nWe ran into our fair share of challenges, but Suman always stayed focused and worked tirelessly to keep things moving. He was consistent, calm under pressure, and really drove the testing phase through smoothly across each market.\n\nIf you\u2019re looking for someone who\u2019s reliable, detail-oriented, and genuinely committed to getting the job done, Suman\u2019s someone I\u2019d recommend without hesitation.\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-39","page","type-page","status-publish"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cyber-consultant.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/39","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cyber-consultant.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cyber-consultant.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cyber-consultant.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cyber-consultant.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=39"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/cyber-consultant.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/39\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cyber-consultant.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=39"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
