Cyber and Data Security and GDPR:
what you should do

The enforcement of General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) means that your business can be fined up to €20m or 4% of your turnover (whichever is the greater) for breaches of your customers’ data. Here’s what you need to do now:

Appoint a senior manager with some expertise to take responsibility for your cyber and data security and draw up an information security policy
Make sure you understand your obligations to notify the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) within 72 hours (and, in some instances, the individuals affected) of personal data breaches
Consider whether the confidential data you hold should be pseudonymised and encrypted

What to do if you suffer a cyber attack:
Towergate Insurance Brokers 3-step checklist

Log and monitor any suspicious activity This can help to inform you as soon as a breach happens, giving you a chance to respond quickly and limit potential damage. It’s also useful to have a trail of activity carried out by the hacker.
Regularly back up your data This will make it easier to access data – reducing downtime – in the event of a breach. But be aware that there’s a risk that you may restore the same vulnerabilities which caused the breach in the first place – consult a specialist on how to mitigate this risk.
Inform your cyber insurance provider If you don’t have cyber insurance, Towergate Insurance Brokers can create a policy tailored to your needs that provides cover for a range of different cyber-attack scenarios.
