Frequently asked questions
Cyber security is the practice of protecting computer systems, networks, and data from unauthorised access, attacks, or damage. It covers all measures including strong passwords, firewalls, encryption, and staff awareness.
Cyber security helps prevent data breaches and minimises the possibility of financial loss or damage to an organisation’s reputation. It also ensures compliance with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, which require organisations to keep personal data secure.
A data breach is any security incident that leads to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to personal data. Many breaches stem from poor cyber security, such as weak passwords, phishing, or software vulnerabilities.
Cyber security is a core part of data protection under UK GDPR. The regulation requires organisations to have appropriate measures in place to keep personal data secure, which includes protecting systems against cyber attacks.
