Safeguarding our own and our clients’ data is a priority.  The threat from cyber crime is increasing and all businesses need to be vigilant to these risks.

We are very pleased to have been awarded Cyber Essentials Plus certification.  This certification confirms that we have undergone rigorous testing of our cyber security systems and that we are protected against hacking and phishing attacks.

We continuously train our staff to identify the latest cyber security risks and have thorough procedures in place to ensure we, and our client, are protected.

What can you do to protect yourself from cyber security risks?

There are a number of things you can do to protect yourself:

• Update your anti-virus software regularly
• Use strong passwords and consider using a password management tool to store your passwords safely
• Be vigilant to phishing scams – always carefully check the authenticity of an email before clicking a link
• Always check with your contact first if you are notified of a change in bank details prior to making any payments
