ISO 27001
Information Technology Manager

Are you certain your organisation’s confidential information is secure?

Recent incidents such as hackers stealing information from at least 45.7 million payment cards used by customers of US retailer TJX, which owns TJ Maxx, and UK outlet TKMaxx, strike fear into customers. They can also result in large fines to the organisations responsible and seriously affect the careers of the people accountable for the security of confidential information.

In the UK alone, 63 per cent of businesses hold highly confidential information and 66 per cent would suffer serious disruption if information within their systems was corrupted.*

In addition, dependence on IT continues to grow: in the UK, only one in twenty large companies could operate their businesses without IT and in small companies this figure is just one in six.*

As an IT Manager, you’re responsible for establishing and maintaining a robust, scalable and secure IT infrastructure, on which the information and information systems of your organisation rely.
