Hicomply X Waterstons: CAF, one framework to rule them all
Navigating the complexities of cybersecurity frameworks can be daunting for many organisations. In a collaborative effort, we have joined forces with Hicomply to demystify the UK's Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF). Stew Hogg (Associate Director of Cyber at Waterstons) and Ed Bartlett (CEO at Hicomply) sat down to dive into the intricacies of CAF, offering practical guidance and expert perspectives. Our goal is to equip you with the knowledge and tools necessary to enhance your cyber resilience, ensuring you can confidently align with national cybersecurity standards and protect your digital assets effectively.

Here they provide the next steps of implementing CAF and Stew continues to highlight the importance of acting sooner rather than later. This will not only ensure your business is implementing cyber security best practises but that your organisation maintains a high level of cyber maturity for many years to come.
