As new cyber threats emerge and vulnerabilities are discovered, it’s paramount that organisations are able to stay on top of a changing cyber landscape. This has been especially true since the widespread adoption of generative AI technology – for all the legitimate business benefits it brings, it also enables cybercriminals to launch attacks at unprecedented scale.  But while security is essential, accessing security resources is a constant challenge for businesses – these skills are in short supply, leaving many businesses unprotected. Fortunately, there are clear steps you can take to keep your organisation secure.  ## **Working to established frameworks** For businesses who are in the early stages of developing their cyber security strategy, cyber frameworks like ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials are vitally important. These compliance standards aren’t just nice to have – since they are regularly updated, they’re a useful guide to ensuring your organisation stays protected, even as new threats emerge.   While Cyber Essentials and ISO 27001 are generally applicable to all businesses, meeting industry-specific compliance requirements like [PCI DSS](https://csacyber.com/blog/get-ahead-of-pci-dss-4.0.1-with-continuous-compliance) is instrumental in helping your business ensure a uniform level of cyber protection, especially for critical systems like payment card processing, which represent a significant risk to the business if compromised. As these frameworks often require different levels of security for different tiers of organisation, aiming high and meeting the standards for higher levels can also provide a useful roadmap for future advancements.  Adherence to these standards shapes your cyber strategy and makes it easier to embed a cyber-aware culture across your business, as users adapt their day-to-day to conform with secure best practices that reduce risk within your business. But these credentials aren’t just for internal confidence – customers are increasingly scrutinising the security posture of businesses they purchase from.   High-profile cyber incidents like the SolarWinds attack in 2020 used business supply chains to compromise organisations, and in their wake, it’s more important than ever that businesses can provide their security to their clients – making compliance with standards like ISO 27001 or Cyber Essentials a requirement to stay competitive.  ## **Achieving compliance with cyber experts** While these frameworks provide a direction for your cyber strategy, they’re far from a complete roadmap. In order to meet the requirements of these standards, businesses need reliable access to genuine cyber experts who can help design systems that ensure compliance and drive business value.  But accessing cyber resource in-house is often cost-prohibitive for many organisations. Hiring a single cyber expert can put a sizeable dent in security budgets which may be better allocated to solutions themselves, and ensuring round-the-clock coverage requires the recruitment of a full team.   This is where cyber consulting services can provide a valuable assist, providing immediate access to cyber expertise at a fraction of the hiring cost. While they are an external team, working closely with a single cyber partner ensures they can understand your business, and work to develop solution and offer genuine guidance in building your security strategy.  ## **Develop your security strategy with CSA Cyber** At CSA Cyber, we’ve developed a suite of consultancy services that offer businesses immediate access to industry-leading cyber experts.   Our approach provides a valuable alternative to other cyber solutions. By working in conjunction with your internal team, our industry-leading experts can help objectively assess your current security posture, identifying and remediating potential vulnerabilities.

This analysis lays the foundations for your security strategy, allowing us to recommend and establish solutions that cover any critical gaps in your defences.  Of course, the human element is also critical for ensuring security.
