The Cyber Risk You Didn’t Buy but Still Own
Outsourcing IT doesn’t outsource your risk. A breach at your vendor’s vendor can still take down your operations, leak customer data, and damage trust. Certifications like Cyber Essentials and Cyber Trust are surfacing hidden dependencies, forcing businesses to confront what they thought was handled. Resilience now means mapping vendors, validating their security, and preparing your own recovery.

Your Biggest Cyber Risk Might Be a Simple Misconfiguration
A company’s most overlooked cyber risk isn’t always a breach. It’s a misconfiguration. A missing record, a weak setting, or a forgotten exposure—small issues that quietly leave systems open to the internet. They don’t trigger alerts. But when exploited, the consequences are immediate and serious.
