Node IT Solutions and Blackmores, specialists in Quality, Risk & Environmental Management, are repeating their sell-out GDPR & Cyber Essentials Business Briefing. Join us on the 22nd May for this FREE Business Briefing, the link to register can be found below.
The General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) will come in to force on 25th May 2018.
If your business controls or processes any personal information – e.g. employee and/or customer data – you will need to comply. Failure to do so could cost you dearly, resulting in heavy fines and serious damage to the reputation of your business.
Central to GDPR compliance is making sure that the personal data your business deals with is controlled and processed securely. Businesses of all sizes are increasingly under threat from cyber attacks. If you have not put the appropriate technical measures in place to protect personal data, your business will be liable should you suffer a data breach.
Cyber Essentials is the UK Government Cyber Security standard for all businesses and organisations. Meeting the standard demonstrates that your business is taking all reasonable steps to protect the data you hold, and that you take cyber security seriously.
Feedback from the first event was overwhelmingly positive:
“The Business Briefing was informative, clear and easy to follow and has given me some invaluable insight into GDPR and Cyber Security. After attending the meeting I now feel really positive and am looking forward to putting everything I learned into place for my business.”

What our clients have to say
We engaged Blackmores to develop our ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 management system from scratch. Throughout the creation and development stages of our ISO journey, Anju Punetha demonstrated remarkable patience, knowledge, and understanding as our dedicated consultant.
During our internal audit preparations, Ian Battersby’s meticulous attention to detail and thorough approach ensured we were well-prepared for our external audit, which we passed with flying colours. His guidance during the external audit was invaluable.
Based on our engagement and experience, I highly recommend the entire Blackmores team. If you’re considering pursuing ISO accreditations, Blackmores should be your first choice.
