At WWCS, the security and protection of your data is one of our top priorities. We are committed to keeping you informed about any developments that may impact your digital ecosystem.

 

On Friday 19th July, there was a significant outage experienced by Crowdstrike, a leading cyber security firm. While this event affected many organisations, we want to reassure you that none of our clients were impacted. This is because we recommend different systems and measures tailored to your specific security needs, ensuring that your data remains secure and uninterrupted.

 

Why You Didn’t Hear from Us Until Now

You didn’t hear from us immediately because the robust security infrastructure we scope for you meant that your systems and data remained unaffected. Nevertheless, we believe in transparency and proactive communication. We are taking this opportunity to emphasise our commitment to your security and to let you know about the continuous measures we take to protect your information.

 

Our Proactive Security Measures

1. State-of-the-Art Security Systems: We continuously evaluate and recommend world-class security solutions to safeguard your data.
2. Regular Audits and Updates: We conduct regular security audits and promptly update your systems to defend against emerging bugs and threats.
3. Employee Training: Our staff undergo rigorous training to stay abreast of the latest software bugs, security protocols and practices.

 

We understand the importance of trust in our partnership, and we are dedicated to maintaining and enhancing the security of your data. Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to our support team.

 

Thank you for your continued trust in WWCS.
