An ambitious software platform that allows businesses to monitor all of their cybersecutiy needs has been launched.

ThreatAware, a joint enterprise between entrepreneurs Steve Thomson and Jon Abbott, brings together cybersecurity tools and company-wide compliance procedures on a single screen, and is suitable for use by IT and cybersecurity professionals as well as by non-technical managers and directors.

Thompson and Abbott are co founders of London-London-based IT services company Priority One. The platform has been developed with backing from angel investors, in a direct response from their own clients’ needs.

“Cyber security is not solely the responsibility of the IT team but is a company-wide challenge. As many breaches stem from human error or internal threats, training staff and having the right policies are procedures in place are critical,” said Abbott.

“By monitoring tools, people and processes on one dashboard, ThreatAware co-ordinates the roles of people throughout the business, ensuring everyone plays their part. It simplifies compliance with GDPR and other standards, saves time for IT staff and provides peace of mind for directors.”
