EP12: Your Data Isn’t Being Hacked… It’s Walking Out the Office Door with Rob Sunter Cam
Feb 2300:59:10Tap to summarizeThis week on the podcast, we sat down with CEO Rob Sunter-Cam from Assured Consultancy to strip data protection back to what it actually is and why so many businesses are getting it wrong.We talked about the biggest misconception in data protection: that it’s only about online cyberattacks. In reality, data leaks happen just as easily inside offices, through everyday habits, poor processes, and physical access that no one questions.Rob shared how Assured Consultancy supports businesses by going on-site and engineering real-life access into offices — showing just how easily sensitive information can be exposed, removed, or compromised without a single line of code being hacked.We also explored the sharp rise in cyber hacking, from large manufacturers to banks, crypto platforms, and financial institutions and why these attacks are becoming more frequent, more sophisticated, and more costly. We discussed fines, reputational damage, and the long-term impact breaches have on trust, growth, and survival.This episode is a must-listen for any business owner who thinks data protection is “just an IT thing” because it isn’t. It’s a business-wide responsibility, and ignoring it is no longer an option.Connect with Rob through streamlineonline.io Or check out his website www.assuredconsultancyservices.com
