Sharing Sensitive Files Securely
Read more: Sharing Sensitive Files SecurelyThe way sensitive files travel through organisations rarely attracts much attention until something goes wrong. Most exposure isn’t the result of a deliberate attack or a dramatic failure rather, it’s the accumulated result of working habits that feel unremarkable in the moment. An attachment sent for convenience, a sharing link left active after the project…

Identity and Access Management
Read more: Identity and Access ManagementAccess to systems and information naturally accumulates over time. Employees move between roles, suppliers are onboarded for projects, permissions are extended to meet operational requirements and not revisited. Each individual decision is usually reasonable in context, the difficulty is that the cumulative result, across an organisation and over time, is often an access environment that…

Why Secure Collaboration Matters in Regulated Environments
Read more: Why Secure Collaboration Matters in Regulated EnvironmentsOrganisations operating within defence, government and other regulated sectors face a difficult balancing act. Teams need to collaborate quickly across suppliers, departments and external partners, while maintaining control over sensitive information, user access and assurance obligations. For many organisations, the challenge is no longer simply securing infrastructure. It is enabling people to work together effectively…

AI Cyber Security Two Years On
Read more: AI Cyber Security Two Years OnTwo years ago, the conversation around AI was largely hypothetical. Today, organisations are dealing with its operational reality, and the security picture has changed considerably as a result. That is where the cyber security conversation has become significantly more serious. One of the biggest shifts introduced by Generative AI is not simply automation, but a…

Governance and Control in Microsoft Teams Environments
Read more: Governance and Control in Microsoft Teams EnvironmentsMicrosoft Teams environments usually grow faster than governance around them. That is not really a criticism so much as a reflection of how these platforms are adopted in practice. A tool introduced to improve communication quickly becomes the place where files are stored, meetings are held, suppliers are invited in, and projects are coordinated. The…

The SME reality and what CSMv4 means if you have no dedicated security team
Read more: The SME reality and what CSMv4 means if you have no dedicated security teamMost guidance written about CSMv4 is pitched at a fairly abstract level. It explains the framework architecture, the four risk profiles, the evidence requirements, and the link to DCC. All of that is accurate and useful. What it often does not describe is what the process looks and feels like for a specialist SME with…

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…

Account Security and Recovery
Read more: Account Security and RecoveryMost security guidance focuses on protecting accounts from being accessed by others. Less attention is placed upon what happens when you lose access yourself or when an attacker uses your own account recovery process against you. Account lockout is a more common experience than many people expect, and the recovery process, when not set up…

Working Securely When Travelling
Read more: Working Securely When TravellingTravel introduces a specific set of security risks that don’t exist, or exist in a more controlled form, in a normal working environment. You’re operating on unfamiliar networks, in public spaces, with devices that may be subject to inspection at borders, in locations where the people around you are unknown. 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…

Secure Authentication: Passwords, MFA and Passkeys
Read more: Secure Authentication: Passwords, MFA and PasskeysPasswords are still one of the most common ways systems are accessed, and one of the most common ways they’re compromised. Increasingly, they are also no longer the preferred option where stronger alternatives are available. Guidance from the National Cyber Security Centre and National Institute of Standards and Technology has shifted accordingly. Passkeys are now…
