In the past year there have been an array of high-profile data breaches from some of the UK’s biggest organisations including: British Airways, Dixons Carphone, and Ticketmaster UK.

It is alarming that such large established organisations have jeopardised not only their company’s data, but also the personal data of their customers, through their lack of cyber security.

Many cybersecurity experts believe that a data breach can occur due to a simple mistake being made possibly when updating systems or when processing the migration of data. Although there has been a substantial amount of investment placed on cybersecurity, there are still gaps in the basic procedures, which must be addressed.
