As cyber threats to UK Critical National Infrastructure and supply chains escalate, it is crucial for Board members to stay informed about the evolving cyber landscape and its impact on their organisations. We deliver tailored cyber security briefings to enhance their awareness of current and emerging threats and to clarify their legal and leadership responsibilities. Along with Board Briefings, our Virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) services offer strategic leadership and operational expertise, ensuring robust information security without the cost of a full-time executive.
Board Briefings
Threats to UK CNI companies and their supply chains are increasing exponentially, sometimes in direct response to an ongoing attack or breach elsewhere. It is a strategically vital step for the Board members to fully understand and be constantly updated on the changing cyber landscape that will affect, either directly or indirectly, their organisation. Therefore, we regularly deliver (often bespoke) cyber security briefings to those at Board level to raise their own awareness of the current and emerging threats as well as to help them examine their legal accountabilities and leadership responsibilities arising from this.
Working globally with many governments who are all committed to making their countries a safer place to live and do business in, Siker has been helping Board members to identify and recognise the areas where they may be considered an industry duty holder and what that may mean in terms of cyber response.

100% secure is impractical and unaffordable.
