NCSC; Is your business ‘at risk’?

WGPlus (Archive)

SMEs are being urged to check their readiness for cyber attacks by taking a new resilience test, launched by Business in the Community (BITC).

The ‘Would You Be Ready?’ online test asks business leaders an array of questions to assess their preparedness for various incidents, and gives tips on how to safeguard their assets.

The test focuses on 3 of the biggest issues that could affect businesses:

cyber attacks – featuring advice from the NCSC’s Small Business Guide
civil unrest
flooding

With the new campaign launching to coincide with Responsible Business Week 2018, BITC – founded by The Prince of Wales – is challenging SMEs across the UK to test their resilience in the face of an emergency.
