Building a Cyber Resilient Organisation

Context

• Security hygiene is traditionally addressed by annual training and spear phishing exercises, but this is proving to be ineffective.

• CISOs are increasingly seeking interventions to improve the overarching cyber security culture/awareness of all users in support of the cyber security activities and BC/DR planning that are required to be in place for a cyber resilient organisation.

Our Approach

• Delivery of an effective cultural shift, post assessments and analysis of the gaps in understanding, behaviours and training and leadership from across all business units. We identify the most effective interventions that will deliver the sustainable cultural change required across a business.

The New Perspective

• We work with the senior leadership across the business, not just the CISO and CIO

• Cyber Resilience is led by the Business Operations leadership as well as the IT Leadership team

• Using risk metrics from the Departmental Leadership teams or Chief Operations Officer, the DPO Information /governance team and CISO function can help target awareness and training to those behaviours that are most prevalent to particular

Maritime Cyber Resilience

The Aristos Partnership approach to maritime cyber resilience is based on industry best practice and the BIMCO's Cyber Security Guidelines for shipping. BIMCO has  issued an updated series of guidelines to address the increasing threat to information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) onboard ships. Maritime Cyber Resilience is being shaped by:

1. The increased cyber threat to the maritime sector (Maersk, COSCO and others);

2. The increasing importance of publicly demonstrating compliance with best practice in cyber resilience for operational and strategic reasons ranging from satisfying customer procurement requirements through to underpinning enterprise value;

3. The IMO has given shipowners and managers until 2021 to include cyber security in the International Safety Management (ISM) code.

Data Protection

Elizabeth Denham the UK ICO Commissioner said that GDPR “brings a 21st century approach to the processing of personal data, providing much more protection for consumers, and more privacy considerations for organisations. If your business isn’t prepared, you’re leaving yourself open to enforcement action that can damage both your public reputation and bank balance.”

We help you to identify your Personal Identifiable Information data sets, map the process flows for these data sets, implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect these data sets. We give you the confidence that you are handling data in accordance with GDPR.

Learning and Organisational Development

“Approximately 653,000 businesses (48%) have a basic skills gap.” Ipsos MORI | Cyber security skills in the UK labour market 2020: findings report.

We have an adaptable approach to help organisations respond to their identifiable business risks and to build organisational resilience. Our Board level immersive Cyber Crisis Exercising (Gold/Silver/Bronze) is highly effective in giving organisations a clear review of the business risk posed by a real time cyber attack.
