Why use a cyber security consultant
The security expertise gap that puts SMEs at risk
52% of businesses lack in-house cyber security expertise yet face increasingly sophisticated threats. And customers, suppliers and insurers increasingly want proof that they can deal with them.
“APH helped us to gain Cyber Essentials certification, by conducting an in-depth audit of our network security and making affordable recommendations on areas where we could improve. We were able to close several significant security gaps and opted for APH’s CyberProtect Care Pack on a 36-month plan for total peace of mind about our cyber security in the coming years.“
