Data Handling and Sharing
|
Read more: Data Handling and SharingData is handled constantly, often without much conscious thought. Files sent by email, documents saved to shared drives, information passed on in a conversation or a screenshot. Most of the time this happens without consequence. But the habits formed around routine data handling determine what happens when something goes wrong, or when data ends up…

Recognising and Responding to a Security Incident
|
Read more: Recognising and Responding to a Security IncidentSecurity incidents happen. They happen to organisations with mature security programmes, experienced teams, and robust controls. The measure of a security posture is not only how well it prevents incidents but how effectively it responds when prevention falls short. Knowing what to do in the first moments after something goes wrong matters. Delayed or poorly…

When version control slips on MOD construction projects
|
Read more: When version control slips on MOD construction projectsDrawings standing still on construction projects is a very rare thing indeed. They move through constant cycles of issue, review, mark-up, and revision. On MOD programmes, that process involves multiple contractors and subcontractors, often working across different systems and environments, each with their own document practices and pace of delivery. Version control is straightforward in…

The controls that protect you…

Why Backups Matter
|
Read more: Why Backups MatterBackups are one of the most consistently undervalued aspects of everyday security. Most people understand in principle that they should back their data up. Far fewer do so reliably, and fewer still have ever tested whether their backup actually works. The practical reality of not having a working backup becomes clear very quickly when something…

Collaboration challenges on MOD construction projects
|
Read more: Collaboration challenges on MOD construction projectsOn MOD construction projects, collaboration is constant. Drawings, RFIs, revisions, and mark-ups move between principal contractors, subcontractors, and specialist trades throughout the lifecycle of a programme. Decisions made in one part of the supply chain affect others. Coordination isn’t a phase of the project – it’s continuous. In theory, the process is structured. In practice,…

Phishing and Social Engineering
|
Read more: Phishing and Social EngineeringMost successful attacks don’t begin with sophisticated technical exploits. They begin with a message (an email, a text, a phone call), designed to make someone do something they wouldn’t otherwise do. Phishing and social engineering remain among the most effective methods available to attackers precisely because they target human judgement rather than technical defences. The…
