Cyber Security Solutions for Construction
The construction industry faces a unique set of challenges when it comes to cyber security. With broad use of third-party contractors, interconnected supply chains, and remote project management tools, there’s enormous challenges in rolling out the appropriate defences against cyber attacks is increased significantly.
With our cyber security solutions for the construction industry, ToraGuard works with construction companies to ensure defences on multiple fronts.
Common Security Risks & Requirements For Construction
With lucrative value contracts and large volumes of invoices, construction firms are often the target of cyber attacks. Attempted access to financial information, proprietary designs, and other sensitive data are commonplace, and any breach can lead to significant financial and reputational damage.
Construction companies also face the challenge of user education. Often with high numbers of staff and contractors, not all of whom are digitally literate, ensuring systems are defended from human error is challenging.
There’s also an increased risk of insider threats, with staff on short-term contracts potentially looking to take valuable data. Construction firms therefore need to carefully consider how to structure data to grant access.
To add to the complexity of these challenges is the need to tender for work. This in turn typically requires holding relevant security accreditations such as ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials. With both requiring annual renewal, it in turn requires time and dedication to maintaining procedures and processes.
