In today’s increasingly digital and interconnected world, businesses of all sizes rely heavily on information technology (IT) infrastructure to operate efficiently and effectively. However, with the growing reliance on technology comes an inherent need for robust cybersecurity measures. An Information Technology (IT) policy is a fundamental document that every business should have in place to govern the use, management, and security of IT resources.

ISO 27001 is a globally recognised information security management standard that provides a structured and systematic approach to managing and protecting sensitive information within an organisation. ISO 27001 was first introduced in 2005 by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). It has since undergone revisions to keep pace with evolving cybersecurity threats and technological advancements.

Insider threat refers to the risks posed to an organisation’s cybersecurity and sensitive information by individuals who have authorised access to the organisation’s systems, premises, or data.

Business Email Compromise (BEC) is a social engineering attack in which cybercriminals gain unauthorised access to a company’s email account to impersonate trusted partners, high-ranking executives, and employees.
