Cyber Security - Smartdesc Secure
What is Smartdesc Secure and why do you need it?
Anti-virus is not enough. As cyber-attacks become more sophisticated, both the GDPR and Information Commissioner have made it clear that appropriate technical and organisational security measures need to be in place. That means training, policies and processes as well as traditional security tools. Individually, all these elements can add up to a considerable cost and administration overhead.
The Smartdesc Secure suite is a fully managed set of IT security services, available at a single fixed monthly cost.
This means that budgets can be controlled and costs capped, without the need to juggle multiple systems and suppliers. It can provide efficiency savings of over £600 per month for a small to medium sized organisation.
This is more than a set of tools; it is a holistic approach to IT security, covering people, policy, governance and technical preventative measures. It also includes a proactive threat management service, to ensure your organisation stays ahead of emerging attacks.
