Disruption doesn’t wait for a convenient moment. And this week’s tube strikes offered a useful reminder of that.

For many organisations, it forced an immediate shift to fully remote working, putting infrastructure, access, and collaboration tools under pressure in a way that planned hybrid setups rarely do. In this blog, we explore what moments like this reveal, and how to sense-check whether your environment is built to cope.

Eight years on from the Cambridge Analytica scandal, the questions it raised about data, privacy and control feel less shocking, and more familiar.

At the time, the idea that millions of users’ data could be harvested and used without clear consent felt like a turning point. Today, we operate in a world where data collection underpins much of the technology we use every day.

In this blog, we look back at what actually changed, and why the bigger lesson for organisations in 2026 is not the scandal itself, but how data now moves through modern systems.

Companies House is one of those systems most people assume simply works. It sits quietly in the background of the UK business environment, holding records for millions of companies and underpinning how organisations verify each other every day.

But recent reports of a vulnerability in the WebFiling system have raised serious questions about how secure that infrastructure really is. Beyond the technical issue itself, the incident highlights something broader: many of the systems businesses rely on sit outside their direct control.

When platforms like this experience problems, the consequences can ripple far beyond the organisation running them.

Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus remain a critical foundation for managing cyber risk and meeting UK compliance requirements. Fifosys has been promoted to CyberSmart Advanced Partner status, reflecting the scale and quality of how we already support customers through certification and beyond.

When thieves broke into the Louvre Museum, the biggest shock wasn’t what they stole - it was how easily they did it. Yet, a password allegedly set to “Louvre” is what’s really exposed one of the world’s most secure institutions. The incident is a reminder that under-investment in cyber security doesn’t just risk data loss; it threatens trust, reputation and millions in avoidable cost.

In recent weeks, you've likely seen, read and maybe even experienced how major brands have fallen victim to significant cyberattacks. From empty shelves to disruption and worry, these incidents underscore a critical reality: no organisation, regardless of size or industry, is immune to cyber threats. 

Understandably, such a volume of attacks breeds uncertainty, fear and worry amongst all of us, so we're going to delve into the details of these breaches, the methods employed by attackers, and the lessons that businesses must heed to bolster their cybersecurity posture.

We're delighted to be Cyber Essentials Plus certified for 2024 - our sixth consecutive year maintaining this status.
