What Is A Penetration Test And Why Would I Need One For My Company? Part 2
This brings us to the second most important question of the day: "What is the right kind of penetration test for your organisation?"
If penetration testing is something that is mandated in your industry, you may be tempted to find the lowest cost automated penetration testing service available so that in a few days' time you'll have a branded report on your desk and be finished. But there are a few considerations to think about before going this route:
“On average, technology users carry 2.9 devices on them at all times”
Recently trawling through tech websites, honestly for blog topic inspiration I came across this ‘Tech fact’. I was shocked, that we actually carry around or in fact, need more than one device.
As much as this is a very simple topic, it is often overlooked by many people and the safety of our documents and accounts should be of the up-most importance- especially in a business. Here is a brief guide to the best password security.
Friday saw us sponsoring the Lancaster District Chamber of Commerce Annual Dinner. It was a fantastic evening with loads of companies from across the Lancaster area in attendance.

SME survival guide: Would my business pass a GDPR inspection?
It’s almost been a year since the implementation of GDPR, but the legislation’s importance hasn’t depreciated at all. In fact, ongoing compliance is more significant than ever – especially given the recent political turbulence surrounding Brexit negotiations.
Yet, despite the new data protection guidelines having been introduced last year, it’s been reported that 38% of firms haven’t even heard of GDPR. So, it came as no surprise at this month’s Data Protection Practitioners’ Conference when the UK’s information commissioner, Elizabeth Denham, announced UK businesses are coming in below par when it comes to GDPR accountability.
At the event, Elizabeth revealed: “the next phase of GDPR requires a refocus on comprehensive data protection – embedding sound data governance in all business processes.”
And, this is the inspiration behind our latest blog. We want to help companies identify whether or not they would pass an official ICO audit with ‘high assurance’, as well as flag the questions they need to ask themselves, when it comes to the storage and processing of personal data.
Reach your IT peak: How will Brexit affect GDPR?
One of the most uncertain issues in the current political climate has to be Brexit. The past few months have been rather turbulent in terms of negotiations, and it’s still up in the air as to what will happen when the country leaves the European Union. But, one question on many businesses’ lips is ‘how will Britain’s exit affect GDPR?’
While we know that nothing is set in stone regarding policies and strategy, at Q2Q, we’ve decided to pen a short and easy-to-digest blog to give SMEs some clarity on the cloudy situation, and offer insight into what the temperature of the GDPR pool is looking like post-exit – whether it’s a deal or no-deal outcome.
