Cyber Security Advisory

Securing your Cyber and Information Security Landscape

Our cyber security advisory services are designed to support organisations at every stage—from strategy development to incident response.

The BDO Jersey cyber security offering draws from all of our core practices to support organisations to meet the challenges of an evolving cyber threat landscape.

We provide tailored cyber security services with a comprehensive service offering across our practice areas, helping clients understand the specific cyber threat environment and identify vulnerabilities in their existing security posture. Our expert team collaborates with clients to transform and assure their cyber and information security governance, systems, and culture, balancing risk mitigation with time and resource costs.

The Business Need

Success in the digital and services economy requires speed, innovation, customer experience and delivery – both for clients and employees. Hybrid working (a must for many employees) and the global marketplace require data, services, and infrastructure to be constantly accessible, information easily shareable, and services easily transferable.

There is also an equally complex cyber defence eco-system from which organisations can mount a response. Security tools, services, training, monitoring, simulation exercises, security operations, incident response and cyber insurance can all be woven together to successfully protect systems, information, and business operations. Finally, there are regulatory drivers as Governments in the western world seek to harden, protect and secure the cyber environment upon which the global economy depends.
