Bristol based growth agency SpiderGroup knows how important cybersecurity is and has seen how damaging to business it can be if it goes wrong. With this in mind, they have pledged to help businesses get a handle on their IT and data security by creating a short quiz that helps companies understand where they need to take steps to improve.


"Many companies and their employees are unaware of the elements that could cause them cybersecurity issues such as whether data is encrypted in transit or what the policy is on device management. We are keen to support as many businesses as possible avoid the fines and reputational damage that lax security can cause."
Natalie Howells, Head of Growth


In the most recent Cyber Securities Breaches Survey produced by the UK government it states that around a third (32%) of businesses and two in ten charities (22%) report having cyber security breaches or attacks in the last 12 months. This mean cost to businesses of a breach in 2019 was £4,180, with the higher figure of £9470 in charities.*


The free 5 minute security quiz from SpiderGroup not only gives you a score, it tells you what actions to take to make improvements.
