Data visualisation is a powerful tool for communicating complex data. It presents it in a simple, easily understandable format. But it is not enough to simply create a graph or chart and call it a day. To truly make use of information, it is important to create insightful reports. Reports that effectively communicate the story behind the data.

Insightful reports help decision-makers understand key trends and patterns. As well as identify areas of opportunity and make informed decisions. If analytics graphs and bar charts are only telling part of the story, it can lead people to wrong decisions.

Many people worry about someone hacking their computer. But they’re not really thinking about their wireless printer getting breached. It’s a tool that most individuals use sporadically. For example, when you want to print out tax forms or mailing labels.

OK, so if you’re reading this article, you’re obviously thinking about getting a Cyber Insurance policy for your business or organisation.  If that’s the case, then you need to really think about what might be required in order to get the policy at all.  Cyber Insurance, in our opinion, is a must have for all businesses or organisations of every size.  However, the Cyber Insurance market has been stung over recent years, losing billions of £’s in the process.  This is, in part, due to the fact that they provided policies to businesses that we’re anywhere near properly protected, so they had lots of claims on their hands, which had to be paid out, because the insurers hadn’t necessarily been collecting the right information from their customers during the application process.  This has now led to higher prices AND more stringent policies and checks are in place during the application process.
