Information Security Management

Business is becoming ever more reliant on the digital world with the use of email, connected applications and big data becoming the norm rather than the exception.  Recently the Covid epidemic has also driven a major move to the use of mobile and remote working for many organisations.  This move once again raised the profile of the need to ensure the security of your digital infrastructure and that the data that it holds is securely managed and protected.
Evolve Enterprise Consulting can help you to ensure the security of your digital assets and the integrity of your internal digital systems and networks. We have experience in establishing and running Information Security Systems to meet your needs.  These can be very basic, starting from the need to meet the Government's minimum requirements as set out in the Cyber Essentials programme, and progressing to a full-scale implementation of a system to meet the requirements of the internationally recognised standard of ISO27001: Information Security Management Systems. 

At Evolve Enterprise Consulting we can:
  • Audit your current security environments against either Cyber Essentials or ISO27001
  • Identify specific improvements to protect against specific risks
  • Manage the implementation of actions necessary to meet either of the standards
  • Provide ad-hoc support as requested

Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery

One of the key elements of any Information Security Strategy, that is often forgotten, is what to do in the event of a business disaster where some, or all, of the organisations critical data is lost.  Should the worst happen and your data becomes unavailable, corrupted or stoles you will need to repair or restore the data as quickly as possible to ensure that you can continue to trade.  To achieve this you will need to have a Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery plan ready and waiting to go.
Evolve Enterprise Consulting can help you to prepare for any such eventuality and to regularly test your readiness to respond to any unexpected disaster.  As with a fire alarm, Business Continuity acts as a fail-safe that you hope you will never need.  However, if and when the time comes it will provide a baseline of comfort that will help you get up and running quicker than if it didn't exist.  The creation of this insurance policy takes time and energy, but here at Evolve Enterprise Consulting we can help you though the thinking required to get you the insurance that you need. 

At Evolve Enterprise Consulting we can:
  • Review your data backup and restore processes and identify any weaknesses
  • Help to develop a Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery strategy and underlying plan
  • Run education and training events for you staff
If you need any help with any of these, or associated areas, please contact us and we would be delighted to discuss your issues.

Data Protection (GDPR)

The need for enhanced controls over data protection was introduced in 2018 with the updated Data Protection Act.  THis was a significant tightening up of the requirements placed on businesses around the capture, usage and management of Personally Identifiable Information (PII), that is data that can be used to identify a particular individual.
Evolve Enterprise Consulting can undertake an audit of how you manage the data from your customers, suppliers and staff, and identify any areas that require changes to meet the requirements of the Act.  We can also support the development of any improvements and the implementation of any new processes and ways of working.  This work often goes hand in hand with Information Security work, as it is a natural extension to managing data security.

At Evolve Enterprise Consulting we can:
  • Audit your current systems for managing PII
  • Identify specific improvements to strengthen your current processes
  • Support the development of specific processes or ways of working to help meet the requirements
