Free Lunchtime Cyber Essentials Event from Grant McGregor

Posted: 16th May 2019

You may have heard of the Government’s Cyber Essentials certificate scheme and wondered how it really relates to your business.

You’re interested in being profitable and maintaining an advantage over the competition… but Cyber Essentials is all about technology and security, isn’t it?

Well, yes, partially, but it also covers good practices, policies and procedures.

There’s also solid commercial reasons why it’s worth meeting the standard that you may not be aware of.

We’d like to share them with you at a free lunchtime event we’re delivering at The Merchants’ Hall on 20th June.

From the security aspect, why would anyone be interested in attacking your business? We’ll explain why and how and it’s just as likely they’ll use you to get to your customers and suppliers.

Rather than another scare story like all those that have probably brought cyber security to your attention, we thought you’d want to get a different angle…

This is about crime. Cyber attacks are the work of bad guys and not your fault. But you do need to protect yourself just as you would against physical crime.

We’re here to help you rather than scare you.

Book your place for our free, informal lunchtime session and, in less than an hour, find out what Cyber Essentials is REALLY all about – the benefits to you, your business and your customers.

PLUS how the costs of getting certified are currently covered for eligible Scottish Businesses via grants (so we promise no hard sell!)

A light lunch with refreshments will also be provided.

We look forward to seeing you.
