Information Security Consultancy
Nottingham Trent University (NTU) has launched an information security consultancy service to provide a range of cost-effective and outsourced cyber security consultancy services for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
How NTU consultancy can help
Through our cyber security consultancy services led by Nigel King, cyber security expert and Senior Lecturer in Computing and Information Technology, we can assess your cyber security needs and make practical recommendations for improving the security posture of your operational technology environment to reduce threats and maintain compliance.
With decades of hands-on experience securing the world’s largest organisations, Nigel King (through our Information Security Consultancy service), can explain the importance and impact of the cyber security threats your organisation may face and make practical recommendations for improving the security posture of your operational technology environment.
Increase security, maintain compliance and regain control
Many challenges arise for leaders of businesses and organisations in the technology and security sectors. One important decision is achieving an effective information security practice and whether to outsource this key business function.
There are many benefits of outsourcing this function to NTU through our information security consultancy service in terms of cost, skills, and objectivity.
Our independent, unbiased and highly skilled professional team can assess your cyber security needs and make practical recommendations for improving the security posture of your operational technology environment, while lowering your overall costs.
Today’s cyber security attacks can target multiple entry points simultaneously and in a coordinated fashion, leaving businesses vulnerable to reputational damage, breaches of legislation and other harmful consequences. Understanding this challenge can require expert guidance.
We can assess and make practical recommendations to improve the security posture of your operational technology environment to maintain availability, integrity and confidentiality.
Information Security case study
We worked with AppliSaaS Ltd, a software development company to improve the security posture of their operational technology environment to reduce risk and maintain compliance. AppliSaaS were moving into a new period of growth as an SME, which meant that the scope of their security challenges would grow with the complexity of new projects.
Nigel King was able to create a strategy and highlight cost-effective actions to be taken that enabled AppliSaaS to confidently and quickly move forwards.
