Cybersecurity and Digital Trust

The ease of creating accounts and sharing data is one of the many advantages of using the cloud. This flexibility also has a downside, due to the limited insight and control over your own IT environment. Our experience taught us that it can be incredibly difficult for you as an organisation to keep control over your data and the use of your data, if you make use of the cloud, but also with ‘on prem’. With possible data leaks, unauthorised access and non-compliance with for example export regulation as a result. We help you with access management, information protections and cloud security.

PwC’s range of Penetration testing services can simulate potential attackers to highlight potential weaknesses and vulnerabilities. Our experienced team is made up cyber security experts holding industry recognised certifications such as OSCP. (Offensive Security Certified Professional).

We will be able to clearly report any security vulnerabilities to all relevant stakeholders across your organization tailoring the output to the target audience such as the technical team, business stakeholder or executive management.

Threat actors with varying motivations organisations’ networks undetected and gain unauthorised access to critical data. Advanced attackers can maintain access to compromised environments for years without being detected. Research from PwC’s Digital Trust Insights (COVID-19) Pulse Survey 2020 shows that over 50% of businesses have observed increases in the numbers of successful intrusions since February 2020, including from phishing attacks, business email compromises and ransomware.

Organisations need to take a proactive stance towards threat hunting,and seek to identify threats in their IT estate -- and respond quickly and effectively-- to mitigate potential impact.

As cyberthreats accelerate, companies will need to continually assess gaps, train employees (especially those working remotely) on cybersafety, monitor third parties and implement security and privacy by design in new products and services. That requires data-driven cyber risk management: key performance indicators and key risk indicators for technology solutions. Both the business and top leadership can then quickly assess their security capabilities and proceed with trust in their data and technology.

Privacy has evolved into a front-page consideration for organizations, as companies grapple with questions ranging from individual employee to consumers’ perception of customer data and how it is used. And as privacy regulations expand in scope and number, privacy compliance is only becoming a bigger concern and potential risk.

The evolving corporate landscape has increased the importance and complexity of IT infrastructure and associated data. While it has served as a boon in bringing in efficiency and productivity as compared to a paperbound world, it has also increased the risk of vulnerability and fraud.

In today’s digital world cybercrimes, frauds, and other legal violations are on the rise. They are also the leading cause for business disruptions in organisations. In such situations we help uncover facts by utilising scientific and technological methods to minimise the impact, contain and remediate by accessing and analysing important data in a manner that is reliable, admissible, and defensible.

The rise in regulatory inquiries and internal probes in recent years has made data more important than ever before.
