Managed Cyber Security Officer

A Managed Cyber Security Officer manages everything to do with your online security, from assessing your threats and vulnerabilities, to working with your IT partner or staff to ensure you are protected.

As with the Managed Data Protection Officer, they are a live named expert who works for you for an agreed number of hours per month.

And while having a dedicated Cyber Security Officer isn’t a legal requirement, more and more firms are now realising that they need a dedicated resource to manage the growing number of online threats and risks that face their business, and to take responsibility for ensuring they are doing all they can to be protected.

The benefits of having a Managed Cyber Security Officer include:

No need to employ someone new or allocate an existing member of staff to cyber security.
The Managed Cyber Security Officer is a named person who is always available to you during the working week.
They will respond to your cyber security queries and questions within two hours.
They will work and liaise with your IT partner or internal IT resource to minimise the risk of cyber threats.
They will assess your cyber threat vulnerability and undertake a monthly scan of your systems to identify any areas of concern.
They will conduct system penetration tests to ensure your systems are robust and safe.
They will manage and investigate any cyber risks you fall victim to.
They will provide you with regular advice and guidance on cyber security.
They are available for a low fixed cost every month.

The cost of having a Managed Cyber Security Officer

The cost of having a Managed Cyber Security Officer starts at just £200 per month for a five hour per month commitment, which is suitable for many smaller businesses. Companies wanting a greater time commitment from their Managed Cyber Security Officer can choose a larger custom package of hours, or simply pay a flat rate for every hour worked above their agreed level. There is a small additional cost for monthly scanning.

We originally engaged H2 to examine our liability under GDPR and devise risk managed policies and processes to ensure we met the requirements. Their Cyber Maturity Assessment is certainly and eye opener and H2s approach, unique in our experience of IT service companies, demonstrated clearly that we had some issues to overcome. They were patient in providing services at our own pace and at price points which we were happy with, and were comfortable working with our current IT provider, enhancing their services and products, and plugging gaps that they do not cover. I have no hesitation in recommending H2 to other companies who need such services.

We engaged H2 to examine our liability under GDPR and devise risk managed policies and processes to ensure we met the requirements. They devised a set of processes and policies, neatly presented as a Data Protection Manual on time and on budget. I have no hesitation in recommending H2 to other companies who need such services.

Teresa McGuire, Administration Manager, PAVEMAC ( March, Cambs )

We asked H2 to examine our Cyber Security and Data Protection posture, including policies, processes and technical configuration and controls. We found their Cyber Maturity Assessment to be very comprehensive in discovering the threats and vulnerabilities to our systems and describing them in terms of business risk. The policies and processes developed were again, comprehensive and all encompassing, and designed to fit in with the style and presentation of our other policies and handbook.
