Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity is a vital concern for every business and organisation. Cyber incidents have proven not only to be costly, but also to impact on the functioning of the business and its reputation. In recent years governments and business have responded to the rise of cyber-incidents with new norms, rules, policies and standards. A lack of cybersecurity in terms of technology, policies and training might not only result in losing costumers, but also in fines and sentences for negligent behaviour.
