Your business is a target. Hackers only need one weakness.

A single cyberattack on one of the UK's hr consultancies could expose employee records, disciplinary files and salary data, halt day-to-day operations and trigger regulatory reporting, fines and lasting reputational damage. Small firms are not too small to be targeted. Automated attacks scan every UK business for an easy way in.

Why hr consultancies are targeted: HR consultancies hold personnel files for many client organisations, so a single breach affects them all.
