Practical briefings for the people accountable for cyber risk.
Short, direct pieces on the cyber risk, governance, resilience, and regulatory questions that reach the board, written for the people who have to decide.
AI risk in business terms: what the board needs to understand
AI failures can interrupt services, cause financial loss, expose confidential information or harm customers and employees. Leadership can examine the risk through what AI produces, what it can access or change and what it depends on, within an appetite the board approves.
Limiting the damage: Zero Trust lessons from three UK breaches
Recent UK breaches show that a breach is rarely the expensive part. The cost comes from how far attackers can reach once inside and how long recovery takes, which is what a sequenced Zero Trust programme is built to limit.
Scaling AI safely: what leadership should expect
A shared capability for assessing, delivering and operating AI under common governance helps leadership fund the use cases that deliver value, see what AI is doing in the business and keep people in control where it matters.
Answering the NIS2 scope question before you commit to a programme
A five-day NIS2 Readiness Diagnostic establishes a provisional scope position, assesses governance readiness and identifies priority gaps, giving the management body an evidenced basis for programme decisions.
Zero Trust starts with discovery and prioritisation
Discovery establishes the organisation's Zero Trust maturity and identifies where change will reduce business risk, giving leadership a basis for priorities, ownership and investment.
Software supply chain risk: what the board needs to oversee
Business services depend on software built, updated and operated by others. Overseeing that dependency means clear ownership, assurance over suppliers and the ability to recover when a supplier fails.
Putting Zero Trust strategy into practice in your cloud estate
Cloud platforms provide many of the capabilities a Zero Trust strategy needs. Business priorities, access policy and continuing governance determine how well they are used.
Cloud growth needs a governed foundation
A landing zone is a shared foundation that sets rules for who can access cloud services, how activity is monitored, how environments connect and who owns the costs. It helps the organisation maintain visibility, control and recoverability as the estate grows.
