The name “Integritum” is a portmanteau of “Integrity” and “Continuum”. I came up with this name as implementing security measures must cover all aspects of systems and business surface areas. This blog covers a wide range of topics, including Information Security, Internal Audit, Risk Management, Governance, and Privacy, for the benefit of individuals and businesses.
As technology continues to change and the complexity of systems grows, there is a need to stay abreast of the risks to individuals and organisations. 100% security and 100% safety will never exist. As authorities refine rules and regulations and security professionals implement improvements, new vulnerabilities and data-related crimes emerge, which requires continuous effort to mitigate a seemingly never-ending stream of new sources of risk.
People often read horror stories that could happen to them, with little or no information included to help them protect themselves and their businesses. Unfortunately, if people read the news and become fearful and powerless to defend themselves, they will likely put their heads in the sand due to being overwhelmed, scared or threatened. When information is forthcoming, it is not often presented with the same emotional impact and doesn’t necessarily inspire people to take action or even finish reading. The reverse is also true; fear stories can quickly lead to overkill in mitigating countermeasures.
A day doesn’t seem to go by without some media coverage of scams, cyber threats, data breaches, and cybercrimes with growing levels of sophistication, not to mention frequent accusations of state-sponsored attacks.
This blog will help you:
- Understand existing and emerging threats.
- Adapt with countermeasures to protect yourself.
- Stay safe online through security awareness.
This blog will also help your business or your employer to:
- Manage and mitigate IT and business risks.
- Comply with laws and regulatory obligations.
- Implement and adhere to industry standards.
- Avoid data breaches and other cyber threats.
- Avoid regulatory sanctions and criminal liabilities.
- Avoid loss of reputation and consequential loss of clientele.

It is time to stop being an easy target!
