In the second phase of CoronaVirus lockdown our social lives are curtailed but not our professional business. Financial embezzlement, frauds and cybercrimes are three of the key risks to any professional service firm today, and with Covid even more so. As staff work from home there are much greater risks to our security, confidentiality and access to key information as well as many more inventive scams taking advantage of the pandemic, in particular. Much has been done over the last few years to tighten up our systems procedures and approaches, but more can still be done. The regulators are smelling blood again too.
What are the key steps we need to have in place to ensure that our internal systems are as ring-fenced as possible and our staff are working within the confines and disciplines required and especially given the increased risks of working from home?
What of our alertness to fraudsters who pretend to be people they are not?
This updating webinar will consider:
An explanation of the Covid-related risks
An outline of the frauds and scams to which we are subject
Key factors to consider in internet-based frauds
Recent examples of breaches
Covid-19 risks in particular
Cyber Essentials as a remedy
Personal ID fraud – the latest
Quality systems and other measures to offset it
GDPR implications
