Business Continuity Management

Mile House Consulting has unparalleled experience of assisting organisations reduce risk to critical IT infrastructure and non-IT resources as well as developing and exercising an appropriate response if the unexpected does occur.

All organisations suffer from disruption from time to time. The ability to understand what is important, protect assets to ensure critical service delivery and plan a response for major disruptions is fast becoming a key aspect of organisational success.

From a cyber-security perspective, it is now believed to be a matter of when, not if, an organisation will be affected. The ability to respond appropriately will assist an organisation in achieving its strategic objectives.

Implemented correctly, a business continuity management system aims to ensure effective incident management and the timely recovery of critical assets, activities and product/service delivery, thereby protecting the organisation from a range of adverse financial and non-financial impacts.

Cyber Security Management

The Cyber Essentials scheme has been developed by Government and industry to fulfil two functions.

1) It provides a clear statement of the basic controls all organisations should implement to mitigate the risk from common internet based threats, within the context of the Government’s 10 Steps to Cyber Security.

2) Through the Assurance Framework it offers a mechanism for organisations to demonstrate to customers, investors, insurers and others that they have taken these essential precautions.

What is the Cyber Essentials Certificate?

Cyber Essentials offers a sound foundation of basic hygiene measures that all types of organisations can implement and potentially build upon. Government believes that implementing these measures can significantly reduce an organisation's vulnerability. However, it does not offer a silver bullet to remove all cyber security risk; for example, it is not designed to address more advanced, targeted attacks and hence organisations facing these threats will need to implement additional measures as part of their security strategy.

What does Cyber Essentials Offer?

What Cyber Essentials does do is define a focused set of controls which will provide cost effective, basic cyber security for organisations of all sizes. The Assurance Framework, leading to the awarding of Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus certificates for organisations, has been designed in consultation with SMEs to be light-touch and achievable at low cost.

Do I need to consider further security measures?

The two options give organisations a choice over the level of assurance they wish to gain and the cost of doing so. It is important to recognise that certification only provides a snapshot of the cyber security practices of the organisation at the time of assessment, while maintaining a robust cyber security stance requires additional measures such as a sound risk management approach, as well as on-going updates to the Cyber Essentials control themes, such as patching. But we believe this scheme offers the right balance between providing additional assurance of an organisation’s commitment to implementing cyber security to third parties, while retaining a simple and low cost mechanism for doing so.

How can we help?

Mile House Consulting can offer assistance to organisations looking to further understand the cyber threat landscape and implement appropriate levels of control. We can also assist organisations seeking certification to the UK Governments Cyber Essentials Scheme.
