Our series of blogs aim to provide best practice guides, security bulletins and helpful articles to guide you on your way.
A survey conducted earlier this year found that 43% of small businesses and 19% of charities suffered a cyber breach or attack in the past 12 months. Despite these worrying statistics many organisations are unprepared. In this blog we look at systematic approach to securing your business from a data breach.
“How do we continue to deliver great customer service and still get compliant with the GDPR?” is a question we have heard from many of organisations we’ve worked with in preparing for the new data protection regulations. Of course, the answer is to find a balance between the two.
Having the necessary IT security and protection within your business, no matter how big or small, is very important, now more than ever with the GDPR regulations coming into force in May this year. Two factor authentication is one rung on the ladder of security that you should use or consider using in your business.
The GDPR requires you to document the types of personal information you hold and what you do with it. This article outlines the responsibilities and describes an Excel template we have developed to hold the information.
There is a lot of work to prepare for the General Data Protection Regulations due to come into effect in May 2018 regardless of the size of your enterprise - be it micro, small, medium or large, a commercial enterprise or a non-profit.

"I have been dealing with PAAC IT, mostly in their Midhurst Office, but also in Haslemere, for the past three or four years. They clearly understand Macs and have given me good advice, and sorted out various issues for me. Things did go wrong with the network wireless adapters I had bought from them, but they were quick to ensure they were checked and replaced without a problem, and they followed up with me a month later to ensure all was OK.
