Are you doing everything you can to protect your business from a cyber-attack? CloudTech24 are here to help.
We are a leading provider of cybersecurity compliance services, supporting businesses in their compliance efforts by helping them meet regulatory and industry requirements.
Our team have a wealth of knowledge and experience in dealing with cyber-threats, from prevention to incident response. In addition to cyber compliance, we offer continuous monitoring, vulnerability assessments (risk assessments), and cyber resilience training.
Cybersecurity standards
The threat of a cyber-attack looms large over businesses of all sizes, so being cyber-compliant has never been more important.
Cybersecurity compliance frameworks provide a structured way to improve your security controls and ensure that you are meeting robust cybersecurity standards.
At CloudTech24 we have years of cybersecurity compliance experience, and much of our work involves ensuring our customers are protected against cyber threats. We are ISO 27001 certified, Cyber Essentials Plus accredited and CREST-accredited penetration testers and vulnerability assessors, and support businesses in gaining Cyber Essentials, Cyber Essentials Plus, and IASME Gold certification.
We also provide consultation for businesses to ensure that their processes and cybersecurity are compliant with frameworks such as NIST, CIS, and MITRE ATT&CK.
Is cyber security a legal requirement?
In short, there is no single answer to this question, as different sectors and countries are governed by different regulations.
In the UK, if you are regulated by the FCA (Financial Conduct Authority), there is no specific requirement for you to align with a cyber security compliance program. However, if you work in an industry such as finance, accounting, or law, you are in possession of sensitive data, which puts you at greater risk of being targeted. It is, therefore, recommended that you understand the cyber risk to your business and review your security controls.
If you are in the US, the SEC is the regulatory agency for financial markets and organisations failing to protect data and systems could face a large fine and substantial business disruption.
If you are a global business, the international standard is ISO 27001. Businesses dealing with large enterprises often require that their cyber security compliance program aligns with ISO 27001. This involves implementing detailed, expansive security measures to fulfil compliance obligations.

Frequently asked questions on cybersecurity compliance
We’ve put together answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about cybersecurity compliance. If you prefer to speak to someone then give us a call and speak to one of our team so we can better understand your requirements.
What is compliance in cybersecurity?
Cybersecurity compliance refers to meeting the cybersecurity standards set by industry bodies, such as the IASME in the UK.
What is the difference between cybersecurity compliance and cybersecurity?
Cybersecurity refers to the measures taken to protect an organisation from cyber-attacks, whereas cybersecurity compliance is the practice of aligning your cybersecurity infrastructure and processes to meet specific regulations or legal requirements.
Why is compliance important in cybersecurity?
Compliance ensures that you align with regulated security standards and requirements and offers a framework to help your organisation improve its security posture. Some organisations will only work with businesses that can demonstrate their compliance, for example, Cyber Essentials certification is compulsory if the contract involves handling sensitive data or technical services for the MOD or any other UK Government agency.
What are the different standards for cybersecurity compliance?
In the UK, the national standard for cybersecurity compliance is Cyber Essentials. Globally, there are many different standards and frameworks.
Does compliance equal security?
No. Complying with a framework is not the same as actively securing your business information and assets. Compliance certifies that you have met a minimum cyber security standard, but robust cyber security requires proactive monitoring, review, engagement, and response.
