The Plate has been set up by three business women Sarah Daniels, Neelam Sultan and Lynsey Sweales. All from different backgrounds, all who felt Norwich was missing a great place to enjoy food, have a great time and meet new people (whether for business or pleasure). The Plate idea was born.
The Plate events are held at No 8 Thorpe Road, Norwich and are a mixture of open events and business events (Business Plate). Open events offer local food, entertainment and something a bit different from just a nice meal out. Business Platesoffersinvite only business evenings aimed at successful business owners / decision makers who perhaps want to network with like-minded entrepreneurs but have a great evening at the same time.
The Plate launched on 26th November with an invitation only event which was an Indian Themed Banquet. Our next event is on the 17th December and is a Gatsby Themed Evening

Almost half of all organisations in the UK fall victim to cyber security breaches every year, and over 80% of these involve some form of human error.

About this training course
This ISO 27001 training course is aimed at helping businesses who are considering pursuing ISO 27001 certification to understand the requirements and preparations required.
Armed with a greater understanding of the process, organisations can make an informed decision about whether this is right for them.
ISO 27001 is a standard that provides requirements for setting up and managing an information security management system (ISMS). The standard helps organisations manage security threats facing critical assets, such as intellectual property, financial systems and data, employee details, customer or client data, and information concerning trusted third parties.
It specifies the requirements needed to establish, implement, maintain, and the continued improvement of ISMS within a company’s context.
ISO 27001 is often used as a framework to help achieve a higher standard of security within an organisation. Increasingly, ISO 27001 certification may be a requirement by a partnering business in the supply chain used to validate a strong focus on information security.
Delivered by a UKAS accredited ISO2 27001 Lead Auditor, this 1 day workshop focuses on preparing you for the ISO 27001 accreditation process and providing a better understanding of:
