When considering lightning protection standards, it's important to know that they cover everything from risk assessment to system design, installation, testing, and maintenance. These standards are essential for anyone responsible for lightning protection systems. But what happens if the standards are updated or changed? Take BS EN 6651 as an example. If your building was certified under BS EN 6651, is it still compliant today? That depends on a few key factors: 🔹 Can you demonstrate that a risk assessment was conducted on your building before the new standard was implemented? 🔹 Was it in accordance with BS EN 6651? 🔹 Are your inspections current? Our experts address these questions in a concise explanatory guide: https://lnkd.in/eQ6XG5sa If you'd prefer a conversation with one of our specialists, we're happy to help.

Why would a cybercriminal target a construction company? Well, if this company is specializing in critical infrastructure projects, building water and wastewater treatment plants, there is a multitude of reasons:     🏗  Critical Infrastructure: Water and wastewater treatment plants are critical infrastructure. Disruptions in these systems can have severe public health and environmental impacts, increasing the likelihood that the company will pay the ransom to restore operations quickly. 📌  Vulnerability: Construction companies may have less robust cybersecurity measures than other industries, making them easier targets for cybercriminals. 📈  High Stakes: The critical nature of water and wastewater treatment means that downtime can lead to significant financial losses and reputational damage. This urgency makes it more likely that the company will pay the ransom to regain control of its systems quickly. 📋  Data Sensitivity: Construction companies involved in water treatment may handle sensitive information, including proprietary designs, project plans, and data related to environmental compliance. 🚚  Complex Supply Chain: Such companies often have complex supply chains and partnerships with various stakeholders, including government agencies and private contractors. 🏛  Regulatory Pressure: Companies in this sector are subject to regulatory requirements regarding the continuous operation and safety of their services. Failure to comply due to a cyberattack can result in penalties, adding another layer of pressure to resolve the situation quickly. The data below shows a recent # breach and the type of data that was exposed. Can you spot the connection to the above points?
