The challenges of cyber security crisis management:

Preparation

Many crisis management service providers will give emergency assistance during an incident, but the responsibility of creating the strategy often lies with the client and most modern businesses don’t have the in-house expertise to do this.

Speed

When time is money, the quicker you can act to minimise the damage from a cyber-attack is one of the most important factors. So, when you’re working with an external partner, you need guarantees that they can respond instantly and effectively.

Scope

Understanding exactly what cyber security crisis management is, and what it isn’t, is important because you will likely need to have other third parties engaged (like PR to protect against reputational risk).

Compliance

Every business has a regulatory requirement when it comes to data breaches, but not every business has the same responsibilities. Working with a partner who understands your sector, business profile, and compliance needs is key to staying on the right side of the law.

Budget

Some crisis management providers will charge retainer fees to be on standby, some will only charge during incident responses. Knowing what services you need, and the level of support, is key to finding value for money and ROI. 

Don’t just take
our word for it…

Complex

Commercial deliver. We are fortunate to work with some amazing partners. Here are some examples of great things we hear every day.

The Tesco procurement team have been delighted with the way Commercial share our desire to entrench sustainability into our supply chain – we really are kindred spirits. Our ethical and sustainability policies are of paramount importance to our reputation and the Commercial team reviewed and approved all products in a short timeframe. Commercial are already committed to the ETI base code and are working on achieving EcoVadis accreditation for all suppliers on the Tesco account.

Remote
working

The days of having all hands-on deck during crisis management are long gone, as organisational assets are disparate, and employees are based remotely. Today’s incident responses require even stronger lines of communication, formal processes, and a central command service.

Cyber
insurance

Many insurance providers are now making their policies stricter by mandating crisis management processes for their customers and requiring proof of retained services or a strategic document outlining their incident response plan.

Emergency
comms

The nature of a cyber-attack can mean that the ability to communicate digitally is compromised, which makes crisis management significantly more difficult. Even smartphones, many of which rely on Wi-Fi calling whilst on-site, can be affected. There is a growing trend of larger businesses investing in isolated comms systems, to maintain connectivity during cyber incidents.

Working from the inside

We deliver incident response services for cyber insurers, and we work in partnership with one of the UK’s leading digital forensics organisations. So, we see first-hand what can happen without crisis management, and we know how to make sure it doesn’t.

Commerciakl immersed themselves in our business, working hand in hand with our IT teams to ensure a tailored, effective solution. Their expertise in selecting the right security providers and technologies for our unique situation was evident. With Commercial, we didn’t just get consultants; we gained trusted allies who understand our business inside and out.”

Don’t just take
our word for it…

Commercial deliver. We are fortunate to work with some amazing partners. Here are some examples of great things we hear every day.

The new Walsall Housing Group office is a fantastic, fresh and modern workplace thanks to the wonderful work of the Commercial interiors team. They created a steering group to work alongside us to understand our demands and held regular meetings during the design process to keep us informed of the progress. Our desire was for a more collaborative space, with meeting booths and one-to-one seating, rather than traditional desks – and they delivered a fantastic final fit-out over the full four-floor building.
Each year, Commercial supplies accessory packs to graduate trainees at a leading accountancy firm, which are then picked, packed, and delivered to their home addresses by the Commercial Foundation. This not only guarantees that every new employee has the necessary equipment to be productive from their first day but also allows their IT team to focus on other responsibilities. Collaborating with the Commercial Foundation generates substantial social value returns on investment for the firm and contributes to improving the lives of the Foundation's volunteers.
Wollens have enjoyed a long-standing and fruitful partnership with Commercial because they are always introducing innovations and improvements to our IT environment. As the threat of cyber-attacks increases it was vital that we strengthened our capabilities for dealing with a ransomware attack with a cloud-based backup solution. Our solution means data cannot be altered or deleted, giving us a crucial way of recovering data to minimise any potential downtime and financial losses
Working with Commercial for our branded materials has proved to be effective and collaborative. The team is efficient and they listen to requests for improvements. Commercial has made branded goods simple.
As E-commerce in retail continues to grow, Commercial’s stock-management and fulfilment expertise has allowed a leading UK retailer to free huge amounts of warehouse space. Commercial took on the stocking of our employee uniform, transferring to a new supplier with the management of the supply being consolidated into their existing supply accounts. Not only did this free vital space in their distribution centre, the consolidated supply of all GNFR delivered significant delivery cost savings.
At JoJo Maman Bébé we are happy to work with the Commercial Foundation and support inspiring work they do to help disadvantaged young adults. Like us, the Foundation are a B Corp certified organisation that is proven to put purpose ahead of profits. We have enjoyed working with their volunteers to help with a mug-making activity. We are now working alongside them to create an introduction gift for our new employees, these include printed mugs, pens and notebooks.
