Computer security is more important today than it has ever been
All company directors and owners have a responsibility under the Data Protection Act and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) laws to protect any personally identifiable information that they may hold, whether that be for staff, suppliers, customers, email subscribers etc.
The Information Commissioners Office has strong powers to enforce theses laws, and does so. In 2020 the ICO fined Cathay Pacific Airways £500,000 for failing to protect the security of its customers’ personal data. They have also fined British Airways £20m after a data breach revealed information on over 400,000 customers and Marriott Hotels were fined £18.4 for a data breach that they failed to report in a timely manner.
Network Midlands can work with you to keep you from falling foul of the law. We can help you develop a Business Continuity Plan (sometimes called a disaster recovery plan) to keep your business working during and after a natural or man made interruption to your business process.
We also offer a secure cloud backup service to keep your data safe, a data recovery service for those times when you lose data or the back-up has failed and a secure data destruction service so that, when you dispose of your old computers, all your company confidential information is completely destroyed.
Cybersecurity
More and more we hear of organisations’ computer networks and websites being hacked. Preventing this is a specialist area known as cybersecurity

Trevor is concise, professional and extremely knowledgeable in all of his subjects. He recently gave a very interesting and thought provoking talk to the Federation of Small Business Virtual Networking group that I host here in Leicester, on the subject of Cyber crime. It stimulated many questions and much discussion, all of which made for a very positive meeting.

Trevor is an expert when it comes to cybersecurity. Over the years, Trevor has given sound advice to help me protect my website from spam-bots and other security threats. If you’re looking to protect your IT systems and your website, I highly recommend speaking to Trevor.

Just like A&E, the emergency services or call centres, Trevor must be often on the receiving end of somebody in distress who gets in touch with a cyber security issue and needs help **right now**. And just like James Bond, a lot of what he deals with ‘remains classified’.
I had met Trevor on FSB zoom networking sessions, and so had become aware of him and his ‘white hat’. I found myself with a pressing need to sort out an issue that had cropped up via a bad actor. I got in touch with Trevor and he responded really quickly, which in itself is a really important thing when you find yourself in crisis.
He quickly laid out a clear plan of action for the problem in hand that would keep me operating on the right side of the law whilst dealing with the security issue in hand.
I would recommend Trevor to anyone with any form of cyber security breach issue, or anyone who needs a security audit. He gave me solid advice and a clear plan to follow and in a world of sharks, he’s a dependable person to trust.

Trevor hosts all my important information on a cloud storagesystem for me. If there’s a problem, which there was at my end acouple of months ago, the system flags this up and then I get a callfrom Trevor. He sorted it out very quickly which was a relief for me! His knowledge of cybersecurity is amazing too, if a little scary………..

I had the pleasure of attending a workshop, Cybercrime- what can go wrong? as part of the #LBF (Leicester Business Festival) . I found the course to be relaxed yet informative, with Trevor’s warm and friendly style, I was able to participate without any inhibition. His knowledge has proved valuable, allowing a proactive and productive implementation of new processes in the work place.

Trevor travelled down to Kent in July (2022) to give a talk for CodeHarbour regarding his expertise in cyber security. His talk was incredible and opened up many discussions around web hacking and what we, as developers, can do to prevent it. I know who I’ll be calling if I get hacked that’s for sure!
