Creating a cyber security culture is crucial because it helps establish a proactive approach to security within your organisation. It raises awareness about potential threats, reduces the risk of data breaches and cyberattacks, enhances the protection of sensitive information, and minimises the financial and reputational damage associated with security incidents.

Cyber security builds trust by demonstrating a commitment to protecting customer data and sensitive information. Implementing robust security measures such as encryption, firewalls and intrusion detection systems assures customers their personal and financial details are safeguarded. By prioritising cyber security, you’re signalling to your customers that their privacy and security are paramount – fostering trust in your organisation.

Absolutely. Strengthening your cyber security measures and actively communicating your commitment to security can significantly build customer trust. Customers are increasingly concerned about the safety of their data and want to engage with organisations that prioritise cyber security. By investing in robust security practices, you can differentiate yourself from competitors and inspire confidence in your customers.

It’s advisable to continually assess and update your cyber security measures to adapt to evolving threats. However, there are some key milestones that warrant an increase in cyber security measures. These include: significant technological changes or upgrades, expansion into new markets, handling sensitive customer information, regulatory compliance requirements, and after any security incident or breach.

The frequency of upgrading your cyber security software depends on several factors, including the type of software, the level of threat activity, and the recommendations from the software vendor.

Generally, it is recommended to keep your software up-to-date with the latest patches and updates. This can involve regular monthly or quarterly updates, but critical security updates should be applied immediately to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Increasing your cyber security measures involves a multifaceted approach.

Some key steps include:

• implementing strong access controls, such as multifactor authentication
• regularly updating and patching software and operating systems
• conducting regular vulnerability assessments and penetration testing
• educating employees through cyber security training and awareness programs
• implementing a robust incident response plan and regularly testing it
• deploying firewalls, intrusion detection systems and antivirus software
• encrypting sensitive data both at rest and in transit
• monitoring networks and systems for any suspicious activity
• partnering with KPMG and their cyber security consultancy to assess and enhance your security posture.
