In today's technology-driven environment, we understand that your organisation faces complex challenges. Our 2019 CEO Outlook report revealed that 71 percent of CEOs say their organisation views information security as a strategic function and a source of competitive advantage. However, as businesses grow so do their cyber risks, with the average cost of a data breach exceeding $3.9 million[1].
Considering these challenges, the correct approach to cyber security is not purely reactive. Cyber security should instead be viewed as a method to drive positive change within your business. It provides increased confidence when pursuing business transformation, increases customer and shareholder trust, and through investments in technology, enables increased productivity.
At KPMG, we help our clients to proactively understand, prioritise, and manage their cyber security risks, enabling them to focus on their customers and core business needs. We also understand that cyber security cannot always be considered in isolation. We work closely with our wider consulting practice, drawing on expertise from teams such as Solutions & Digital, Technology Advisory, and Forensic, to deliver cyber security services that complement, and integrate with, broader improvement programs.
In 2019 we were recognised as a market leader in the Forrester Wave report for Cyber Consulting Services for the 3rd consecutive year, and with a global network of over 2,000 cyber security practitioners, we can provide the support and guidance you need to adapt to new threats and turn cyber risk management into a competitive advantage

Pressure on your business to embrace ESG isn’t just coming from your customers and from government, it’s coming from your investors too. Increasingly, they’re looking to create longer-term shareholder value, and that means investing in businesses with sustainable business models. That’s why ESG now sits firmly at board-level. ESG is about more than your environmental credentials. It’s what forms the overall narrative and purpose of your business – how you impact the world, how you contribute to society and how you conduct yourself. It’s an imperative for businesses that want to be dynamic and resilient in a changing business environment.
