How to start Unlocking the Power of AI in the Workplace Are you curious about how AI Tools can make your work life easier, but not sure where to start?
In this series of 5 short tutorials, ‘Making Sense Of Information Security’, Ciaran delivers a step by step guide on getting to grips with this at times tricky concept. Aimed at office managers, we cover areas such as how to get senior management buy-in, how to undertake a risk assessment, how to approach treatment of those risks, your responsibilities to data subjects under the GDPR, and more.
AI tools are transforming how people approach their work, but online ‘free’ tools such as ChatGPT are not secure for businesses to use, and you should never enter any confidential or personal information into free online AI Services. This information can be used to train the AI and make it available to other users, and may constitute a data breach.
With the rapid onset of new technological capabilities, cyberattacks are a very real threat to any modern business. After all, as more businesses implement new technologies into their business, cyber attackers gain more new targets to try their hand at.
Achieving ISO27001, the gold standard of information security, is no mean feat. We’re incredibly proud of the achievement but we could have only done it with the help and engagement of everyone on the team.
We are exceptionally pleased to announce that as of 14th October 2024 we are now fully and officially ISO27001 certified, a process we started a little over a year ago. We’ve always taken information security seriously, and have been certified with Cyber Essentials and other standards from IASME since 2015. But it’s always been an ambition to go for the internally recognised Gold Standard.
Cyber Essentials is the minimum security baseline that all companies should aim to achieve. It checks to ensure that the very basics are covered, such as MFA on all Cloud service accounts, no admin rights for day-to-day use, and that security updates are installed promptly. If you are seeking to certify your own organisation, you should definitely ensure that your IT Support – who likely have far more access and control over your company data than you do – has at least this basic benchmark certification.
Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies in Microsoft 365 (M365) are useful security measures designed to monitor or prevent legitimate, inadvertent or malicious sharing of sensitive information outside of an organisation. As companies have moved away from on-premises servers for file storage towards M365 SharePoint and OneDrive, more and more are using it to save all their company data. But many business are not using the full range of functionality and background security features that make M365 a truly powerful modern tool for work and collaboration.
