We are now over one year on from the introduction of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and yet companies seem no further ahead with their compliance efforts, with many still at risk of falling foul of the ‘not so new’ regulation

Cybercriminals are a scourge to every company: the security breaches they execute can inflict considerable damage to an organization’s reputation and bottom line, as well as a litany of logistical headaches.

You probably don’t give much thought to your USB drives. When you need to transfer a file from your computer to a drive, often, you grab the first one you see in a desk, the bottom of a bag you used at a conference or in the kitchen junk drawer.

As cloud storage becomes more common, data security is an increasing concern

Our penchant for plugging in random memory sticks isn’t the only trouble with our USB hygiene, a study shows

By passing the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), which goes into effect on January 1, 2020, the Golden State is taking a major step in the protection of consumer data.

Mind the GDPR gaps: the biggest risks that remain for UK companies

Three months on, what are the biggest areas of risk for UK companies?

Aegis Secure Key 3NX brings down the cost of compliance – delivering next level features, widest range of capacities and cooler running temperatures at a lower price point

Storing files in the cloud is very convenient, but understandably, if they contain extremely sensitive information -- such as trade secrets -- you may not want to transmit them over the internet.

95 percent of surveyed organisations in the UK recognise problems with mobile and remote working, and worryingly, 18% suggest their mobile workers don’t care about security, according to Apricorn.

Deciding how an organisation’s sensitive data should be protected and who is responsible for this is an important process. A wrong decision could not only cost a company its reputation, but also result in huge financial fines.

The noise around the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has been unavoidable, and for good reason.

Enabling partners in a supply chain to share information and collaborate is crucial to a contracting organisation’s agility and competitive edge.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is now less than two months away from coming into force and with the deadline looming organizations are continuing to source, implement and perfect strategies to aid them in their compliance efforts.

We are all familiar with the refrain that compliance does not equal security; well, neither does employee convenience.
