Many of the most valuable skills in consulting can come from unexpected places - and Helen's story is a perfect example. Helen started her career as a police officer and at first, she wasn’t sure if her experience would translate into consulting, but she quickly realised: Consulting isn’t about having all the answers - it’s about knowing how to find them. Considering a career change to consulting but feel like you don’t meet every qualification? Remember that you’re probably more prepared than you think. If you can think critically, communicate well, and solve problems, you already have a strong foundation. Read Helen's full story on our blog here: https://lnkd.in/eFih2J8J

The Cydea Risk Platform has been built with input from #CISO's, cyber, and #ITSecurity teams, plus our own experience implementing good cyber security practices at hundreds of organisations. In this case, being able to evidence how you're systematically and proactively managing your cyber risk goes a long way with auditors, and maintaining compliance with #SOC, #ISO27001, #CAF and other regulations.

We had some brilliant conversations at #CIISecLive in Bristol on Tuesday. Chartered Institute of Information Security's focus for the conference was basics to brilliance. We loved the lightbulb moments as we helped people understand some of the reasons to switch to quantified risk 💡 The Cydea team were out in force, with consultants given the day to attend other sessions and improve their own understanding of a broad range of topics. Plus our stand, as ever, looked 🔥 (sorry other exhibitors) Drop us a line if you'd like to learn more about Cyber Risk Quantification and how Cydea Risk Platform can demonstrate the business benefit your security programme is having! #CRQ #GRC #PositiveSecurity #ContinuousImprovement #CyberRisk

Only 1/3 of UK businesses have ever conducted a cyber risk assessment 😮 Plus we often hear from IT and Security Teams that struggle to know what makes a *good* risk assessment? This is despite risk being widely regarded as the foundation for any cyber security programme. It features in government guidance, international standards, and wider good practice. So we're starting a new series on the Cydea blog looking into just that. Plus tips and tricks on how you can up your #cyber #risk game (and maybe sneak in a bit of #CRQ too 🤑) Check out the link below to the first part where we touch on preparation and (briefly) identifying risk - then make sure you're following Cydea for future updates!
