We know that many charities may have been affected by the recent data breach involving Beacon CRM. No one wants to deal with the fallout of a cyber incident, and we understand that you might be concerned.
Here are a few things you can do for your business:
Don’t panic! We know this kind of situation can be unsettling, but stay calm and if your organisation has cyber insurance, you may wish to contact your insurer to understand what support may be available
Stay alert to suspicious emails and phone calls. Cyber criminals have been known to launch phishing attacks in the hubbub of a high-profile breach.
Remind staff and volunteers to verify requests for money, data or login details.
Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) for an extra layer of protection
Review passwords and access controls, especially for administrators and key systems.
Cyber insurance can help businesses manage the financial and operational impact of cyber incidents by providing access to specialist support and insurance cover for certain cyber-related losses and liabilities, subject to policy terms and conditions.
If you don’t have cyber cover and would like to discuss the options available, chat to our friendly team today at [email protected] or call 0330 123 5274.
