. Having to tell clients and other stakeholders what has happened.
. Potential fine by regulators like Information Commissioner’s Office – and others (especially if you’re in a regulated business like Financial Services, Accountancy, Law and Energy).
. Loss of reputation and – in some cases – your entire business.

. Written a Cyber Incident Response Plan for your business to use in the event of a cyber attack.
. Learnt who needs to be involved and what they need to do.
