The Challenge
FIT Remuneration Consultants, a boutique executive pay advisory firm, handles highly sensitive client data. Recognising the critical importance of cyber security solutions, they sought a partner who could provide expert advice, align with their values and support a long-term relationship.
The Solution
Since 2011, FIT has worked with The Final Step (TFS) to enhance their cyber security posture:
- Strategic guidance: TFS offers proactive advice on best practices, helping FIT navigate evolving security landscapes, including GDPR compliance and hybrid working challenges.
- Regular reviews: Annual budget planning and biannual check-ins with TFS ensure that FIT's security measures remain effective and up-to-date.
- Certification support: TFS assists FIT in achieving and maintaining Cyber Essentials Plus certification, bolstering their credibility with clients and meeting procurement requirements.
The Results
- Improved response times: TFS's quick and diligent approach ensures that issues are addressed and resolved promptly, minimising disruptions.
- Integrated support: FIT views TFS as an extension of their team, valuing the continuity and responsiveness provided.
- Increased investment: Whilst FIT had to increase their IT spending, they recognise it as a necessary investment in safeguarding their operations and client trust.
"We think of The Final Step as part of our extended team. We appreciate the planning and responsive support. Your speed of response is good in all areas of support you provide, not just cyber security. It's rare that someone doesn't deal with our requests straight away."
