  • Do NOT open emails or attachments from suspicious sources. Even if it someone you recognise, try checking with that person via another source i.e phone.
  • Do NOT give out sensitive data or information to anyone.

Here are some of the steps you can take to protect yourself:

  • Network Security: Defend the network perimeter, filter out unauthorised access and malicious content. Monitor and test security controls.
  • User Education and Awareness: Ensure staff are well trained and cyber security awareness is maintained.
  • Malware Protection: There are many anti-malware defences to protect your organisation, thus produce policies in order to adhere to them.
  • Removable Media Controls: Produce a policy to control all access to removable media. Limit media types and use. Scan all media for malware before importing onto the corporate system.
  • Secure Configuration: Apply security patches and ensure the secure configuration of all systems is maintained.
  • Managing User Privileges: Limit user privileges and monitor user activity. Control access to activity and audit logs.
  • Incident Management: Test your incident management plans. Provide specialist training. Report criminal incidents to law enforcement.
  • Monitoring: Continuously monitor all systems and networks. Analyse logs for unusual activity that could indicate an attack.
  • Home and Mobile working: Develop a mobile working policy and train staff to adhere to it. Apply the secure baseline and build to all devices.

  • Malware Protection: There are many anti-malware defences to protect your organisation. So make sure that you create policies and follow them.
  • Removable Media Controls: You will need to produce a policy to control all access to removable media. This means controlling the use of objects such as a USB, phones, tablets etc. This can be done by scanning the object before it is connected to the businesses computers.
  • Secure Configuration: When building and installing computers or networks, you need to make sure that you follow procedure correctly. By doing this you will be preventing future attacks.
  • Managing User Privileges: You will need to limit user privileges and monitor user activity. This refers to controlling access to activity and audit logs.

  • Monitoring: Once you have followed the steps as above, you will need to be continuously monitoring all systems and networks. Make sure you analyse the system and log unusual activity that could indicate an attack.
  • Home and Mobile working: Make sure you set in place a mobile working policy. Then make sure the staff are trained and stick to the rules. Apply the secure baseline and build to all devices.

The ISO 27001 standard is widely known for providing requirements for an information security management system (ISMS).

What is an ISMS?

An ISMS is a systematic approach to managing sensitive company information so that it remains secure. It includes people, process and IT systems by applying a risk management process. It can help small, medium and large businesses in any sector to keep information assets secure.
