The challenges of Cyber Security Risk Assessments:

Choice

Cyber risk assessments are ten to the dozen on the open market and not all are created equal. Identifying the differences and ensuring that you’re comparing like-for-like proposals, can be challenging for businesses without in-house cyber expertise.

Budget

Getting sign-off for audits and assessments can be challenging because they don’t mitigate threats. Most companies understand the importance of knowing what needs fixing before trying to fix it, but many budget holders will need convincing with a strong business case. However, compared to the cost of a cyber-attack, both commercially and reputationally, this  pales into insignificance.

Remediation

Implementing the recommendations that come from cyber security assessments is often a much larger job than the assessment itself. Having a plan in place, or a partner on board, is essential to getting the most out of the project.

Scope

Whilst most risk assessments will be completely comprehensive, not every client will need every service offered. To find the best value for money and most suitable solution, a reasonable understanding of cyber security is required.

Time

Risk assessments are often requested at the last minute, ahead of a compliance audit or in response to a cyber-attack. Understanding the timeframes, and preparing for them properly, will make them run much more smoothly and easily.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) & Machine Learning (ML)

Cyber security technicians have always relied on industry tooling to carry out cyber security assessments, but with AI and ML technology these audits can be carried out much faster, cheaper, to a deeper level and on a more regular basis.

Cyber Security Insurance

As cyber threats become more sophisticated, cyber insurance providers are becoming more demanding of their clients. Many are now mandating regular risk assessments as part of their policies, or charging more for businesses which don’t carry them out.

Automated Risk Assessments

As automation technology becomes more intelligent, and accessible, risk assessments are increasingly becoming a business-as-usual activity. Regular scans carried out by pre-programmed software – scanning either the whole system frequently, or auto-scanning new devices and networks – are highlighting risks earlier and making fixes easier.

Combining technology with curiosity

Our technical experts are creative and experimental by nature. As cyber criminals innovate and find new ways of penetrating organisational defences, our cyber security specialists need to stay on their toes to stay one step ahead. Combining industry-leading technology with their unique techniques, they bring an outside-the-box approach to keeping your company safe.

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 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.
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.
