ISO 27001:2022 transition challenges and how to use ISO 27002 Matthew Peers from IT Governance Ltd once again offers his practical expert insight, this time into ISO 27001:2022 transition challenges. Also, I love how he refers to ISO 27002: the “good ideas book” :) As Matthew explained: “If you’re struggling with how to implement a given control, look at the guidance in ISO 27002. It’ll jog your memory, or spark some ideas to get you on the right track. “Or you might come at it from the other direction: ‘This is how we’ve previously done it; is there a better way of achieving that?’ Then you’d refer to ISO 27002 to see if you can borrow ideas. “It can also trigger ideas by reminding you of things you need to achieve, even without being specific about how to achieve them.” Read the full interview 👇 https://lnkd.in/gxdxBXS6

#tsatuesday Today we go into something wider than just the 258 Measures. We have a look at the Code Of Practice, and take a specific section to analyse. Because I had an internal home failure on my Unraid server this week, I thought why not have a look at Backups and Recovery... Because if my personal home was being audited against the measures. I would have absolutely come unstuck. The Thomson household motto of, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" didn't work for me here! Thankfully the consequence of me is my Child lost access to his mission critical Minecraft server. Now, given the above scenario. Its crucial we look at our organisations subject to the Telecommunications Security Act and ask ourselves if we're prepared for a failure - malicious or otherwise. #tsa #tsr #backups #recovery

Did you know ransomware attacks shot up by 67% last year? Scary. Ransomware is where criminals remove your access to your own data, and you must pay a large fee to get it back. Sticking to the old ways of data protection isn't enough anymore. So how do you keep your business safe? I believe you need to build cyber resiliency. It's about more than just stopping attacks; it's about bouncing back quickly if something happens. New frameworks and regulations focus on this resilience – preventing, detecting, and quickly recovering from attacks. Focus on making sure you have the right security tools, educate your team, and stay updated on the latest threats. Is it time you had a security audit on your business? I can help - get in touch. #CyberSecurity #BusinessSafety #CyberResilience https://lnkd.in/ebaZSwyg

The Nikki-Universal ransomware attack shows how quickly things can spiral when cybercriminals strike—and why the stakes are higher than ever for businesses worldwide. Attacks like these aren’t just about encrypted files; they’re about leaked secrets, operational chaos, and reputation damage. With hackers using tactics like double and triple extortion, it’s clear: defense strategies must evolve. For more insights and analysis, check out the detailed post on Matisoft’s LinkedIn page.

Compliance doesn't have to be a painpoint! We've recently closed out and delivered a handful of ISO 27001 internal audits and vCISO support for ISO 27001 and the feedback is in! Below is an example of some awesome Trustpilot feedback from an awesome customer we helped get ready for their ISO 27001 audit. 👇🏼 Each business is a unique rubiks cube of challenges and opportunities. Getting to understand them in a finite amount of time to advise on the effectiveness and efficiency of security controls is an art as much as a science. At Steel FYI we pride ourselves in giving practical, friendly, and commercially-minded advice on how to achieve compliance and prevent material breach, without tying the business up in red-tape. If you want some support in making ISO 27001 work for your business, not the other way around, drop me a message 📨

As is so often the case “simple to implement procedures could have prevented the serious breach” While the PSNI were impacted by this breach, similar breaches are happening on a daily basis, where simple procedures could prevent such breaches. Reach out to NexGen Cyber Limited to protect your business from having a serious data breach.

Yesterday, we discussed NHS's ransomware attack. Today we'll break down what ransomware is and how you can protect your business from it. Cyber criminals steal your sensitive information and hold it for ransom. In this situation, they encrypt stolen data, which gives them the power to demand a decryption key. How do you stay safe from ransomware attacks? 💻 Maintain backups: Always save a backup of all data. This can be stored in a cloud-based or offsite server. 🔥 Install firewall: A firewall is a network security device that blocks any unauthorised traffic from entering your network. 👨‍💻 Updating software: Software updates patch any vulnerable pathways for hackers to enter your system. #TipTuesday #Tips #Awareness #CyberAttack #CyberSecurity #CyberAlert #CyberAwareness #IT #Lily #RansomwareAttack
