GDPR and Cyber Assurance are risk-based approaches. However, no two organisations have the same risk appetite, hence every risk assessment is unique to the organisation.
We will work with you to help develop and review your risk assessment; with GDPR we will help develop process flows of personal data and the risk of non-compliance; for cyber security, we assess the risk due to the complexity of the infrastructure, the type of assets and the security controls.
The risk assessment will enable you to make appropriate decisions on where to spend limited resources on solutions you can realistically implement to protect you against the identified risk and your risk appetite.

It is imperative that all organisations ensure their employees possess the requisite knowledge and skills to perform the roles and tasks designated to them. One effective approach to verifying this is by implementing staff training. Our company, Forti5, offers GDPR staff training and awareness seminars that are intended for all personnel, including managers and directors, and can be scheduled at times that suit the business’s operational requirements.
Our training courses are led by competent trainers who are also subject matter experts. These courses equip employees with essential knowledge and comprehension of fundamental ideas, their practical implementation, and relevant laws. Our friendly, structured instructional workshops include Q&A sessions and case studies that aim to familiarise all of your employees with the key GDPR compliance standards. This approach will help ensure that your organisation’s personnel are well-informed and can execute their duties with the necessary proficiency.

To meet the requirements of the GDPR, which was implemented in 2018, many organizations went to the internet for general guidance and generic templates. Four years later, many organizations still employ generic templates, such as Privacy Notices on websites.
Privacy Notices are the window into an organization’s data protection process. Still, when an audit is performed, it is frequently discovered that these need to reflect how data is gathered, processed, stored, or shared. They are commonly replicated in the disjointed implementation of the organization’s data protection policies.
It is important to remember that if your organization has a breach or even a complaint that results in an ICO audit, can your records and employee implementation demonstrate compliance with the DPA/GDPR Regulation?
An independent audit will assess the organization’s current practices with the data protection legislation, the DPA 2018 and GDPR, and connected regulations such as the PECR. It will identify gaps in the organization’s compliance with data protection regulations.
Forti5’s qualified personnel will complete the independent audit, creating a roadmap to help your organization achieve data protection compliance.

The approaches of GDPR and Cyber Assurance are primarily focused on risk management. Our company is dedicated to working closely with you in order to design and evaluate your risk assessment. In terms of GDPR compliance, we can provide assistance with developing process flows related to personal data, and determining the potential risks associated with non-compliance. When it comes to cyber security, we will analyse risk factors such as infrastructure complexity, asset type, and security controls.
Through the use of our risk assessment, we can help you to make informed decisions about how best to allocate your limited resources towards solutions that will realistically address the identified risks, while remaining in line with your risk appetite.
