October marks Cyber Security Awareness Month - an opportunity to reflect on how we protect our businesses, data, and people. As more of our work, communication, and information is stored online, strong cyber security is vital to maintaining trust, ensuring continuity, and keeping sensitive data secure.
At MBM Omega, security is central to everything we do - from how we operate as a business to how we support our clients. We believe that trust is built through consistent protection, transparency, and care.
Why Cyber Security Matters
Cyber threats continue to rise, affecting businesses of every size and sector. According to recent UK government data, around 43% of organisations reported a cyber breach or attack in the past year, with many small and medium-sized businesses particularly at risk.
The cost of recovery can be significant - both financially and reputationally - with over £44 billion lost by UK businesses to cyberattacks over the past five year.
A single incident can disrupt operations, impact client confidence, and damage brand reputation. Taking preventive action is key to reducing risk and ensuring business continuity while protecting relationships, reputation, and resilience.
How MBM Omega Keeps Security Front and Centre
We take a proactive approach to cyber security across our business. This includes:
- Secure systems and data handling: Protecting our infrastructure, networks, and communications with robust controls and encryption.
- Staff training and awareness: Empowering our teams to recognise risks such as phishing, data misuse, and other common threats.
- Compliance and best practice: Regular reviews ensure we meet the highest standards of data protection and governance.
- Trusted partnerships: Collaborating with partners to maintain shared standards of data integrity and security.
- Incident Preparedness: Defined response plans and active monitoring help us respond quickly and effectively if an issue arises.
By embedding these measures into daily operations, we can offer clients the reassurance that their information is handled securely at every stage.
Supporting Our Clients with Cyber Security
Beyond our internal security measures, we are committed to helping clients strengthen their own cyber resilience. From promoting secure procurement and data-handling best practice to recommending trusted digital tools, MBM Omega supports businesses in improving their security posture and operating with confidence.
Staying Secure Together
Cyber security isn’t just a technical issue - it’s a shared responsibility. This Cyber Security Awareness Month, we encourage all businesses to review policies, refresh employee training, and test response plans for the year ahead.
At MBM Omega, we remain committed to protecting our clients’ data and helping them strengthen their own defences - because security isn’t just a safeguard, it’s a sign of trust.
