Ensure Data is not the unknown variable in your business success

Data is growing at rate of 62% year on year. It offers an opportunity to add positive value to your business by enabling better customer insight, taking better informed decisions or running your processes more efficiently. However, data can negatively affect your business.

The (Information Commissioner's Office) issued the most - and largest - fines ever in 2018, including 11 fines totalling over £6 million to organizations in the UK for serious data security breaches. Financial fines also result in reputational damage which is often irreparable.
