As your Trusted ICT Partner we believe that your business deserves growth through innovation-driven digitalization. One of the key aspects of achieving this is being Secure. This gives your company a competitive advantage.

Keeping your company secure online and offline is a lot to wrap your head around. That is why Datasur is officially launching Security as a Service during its workshop. Security as a Service is a cloud-based method in which Datasur handles and manages your company’s Security.

By using ISO standards such as ISO 27001 and ISO 22301, a tailor-made security assessment is carried out. The security assessment results in a report that indicates which vulnerabilities the company risks. The corrective action points can be used to limit the risks.

During the workshop, Datasur together with Aart Bitter (IT Auditor at NOREA) will provide the participants with tools and tips on how SECaaS can help them prevent/reduce the damage associated with such IT security issues.

Seize the competitive advantage available to you. Start today by inquiring how SECaaS can help minimize the financial and reputational impact IT Security breaches can have on your company.
