Cyber Security Compliance UK

Compliance generally refers to adhering to rules and policies. In cyber security, it refers to creating a program that establishes risk-based controls to protect the accessibility, confidentiality and integrity of information processed, stored and transferred. Cyber security compliance reduces the risk of data breaches, which in turn reduces the associated response and recovery costs as well as other factors such as reputation damage, loss of business and business interruptions. 

Following industry or regional cyber security regulations, organisations are also required by law to meet compliance and take the necessary actions in the event of a data breach. Your company’s reputation and customer loyalty can better be strengthened by having cyber security compliance measures in place as it strengthens consumer trust and builds your business’s credibility. Cyber security and data protection laws and regulations are in place to protect sensitive data such as personally identifiable information (PII), protected health information (PHI) and financial information.
