GDPR six months on: The urgency to take action has gone… but the law hasn’t…

Back in May, we all heard a LOT about the new GDPR regulations coming into force.

And since then a lot of business owners and managers round here have adopted the ostrich principle… you know, stick your head in the sand and hope it all goes away!

That’s normal. It’s driven by a genuine lack of understanding of the new law.

But the law is still there. And we believe it’s only a few months till the regulator starts naming and shaming companies that break GDPR.

What is the 2020 Problem…?

By / 25/10/2018

This is going to affect 1 in 3 businesses. That could include yours

In 2020, some of the most commonly used business software is coming to the end of its life.

That means it will no longer be supported by Microsoft. So if there are any problems with it, they won’t be fixed. It’s likely the software will be targeted by hackers. And your business will no longer be GDPR-compliant.

Would your business pass the 3 beers test?

Would your business pass the 3 beers test?

It’s a Thursday evening. You’ve travelled to meet some contacts, and had a great day.

The meeting is very productive, and turns into 3 beers and a meal. Great fun and the night quickly slips away from you.

You rush for a late train home, and on your commute back flick through a few emails and news articles on your phone. But it’s a warm carriage, and combined with a full stomach and the effects of a few beers, your eyelids start to droop…

By / 25/10/2018

You don’t want an IT support company that fixes problems. You want a partner that prevents them
