edenseven will help companies transition to a sustainable model that accelerates their financial growth. As businesses within public and private sectors prioritise net zero targets and plan their Covid-19 recovery, there exist both significant risks and opportunities.  As a leading innovator in digital transformation, Cambridge Management Consulting is launching edenseven 
to help businesses maximise their opportunities and manage their risks through the application of digital technology to the net zero challenge. 
 
 Combining Cambridge Management Consulting’s ability to extract value from data with edenseven’s knowledge of the environmental sector, sustainability transformation can be delivered at scale, helping organisations implement data-led strategies, on-target and on-time.
 
 Pete Nisbet, Managing Partner of edenseven, explains: “We saw an urgent need for a management consultancy that can link technology understanding and market experience to enable sustainable growth. We see data analytics as central to the company-wide changes required to deliver net zero commitments.”
 
 Chris Rowley, co-founder and Non-Executive Chairman of edenseven, explains why he is excited about edenseven: “Sustainability should be at the core of business strategy. It is the future. Leaders that transform swiftly will benefit their stakeholders and their businesses. We’ve founded edenseven because we firmly believe in the opportunity to deliver rapid transformation with real business benefits.” 
 
 Tim Passingham is Chairman of Cambridge Management Consulting, co-founder and Non-Executive Director of edenseven, and adds: “We have wanted to launch a business focussed on climate change since the inception of Cambridge Management Consulting. edenseven will help us magnify the positive impact we seek to have on the planet. We can help bring our digital skills to corporates struggling to really understand how they are progressing towards net zero and help them accelerate that progress.”
 
 edenseven will initially operate in ten countries and serve companies internationally. Like the other Cambridge Management Consulting companies, edenseven will also donate over one percent of its profits to charity and support all of its staff, consultants and associates to give at least one percent of their time pro bono to support environmental causes.

SMEs make up 99% of UK businesses, three fifths of employment, over 50% of all business revenue, are in everyone's supply chain, and are exposed to largely the same threats as large enterprises. How should they get started with cyber security?                                                                                                                         Small and Medium sized Enterprises (SME) are not immune to the threat of cyber attacks. At the very least, if your business has money then it will be attractive to criminals. And even if you don’t have anything of value, you may still get caught up in a ransomware campaign with all of your data and systems made inaccessible.                                                                                                              Unfortunately many SMEs do not have an IT team let alone a cyber security team. It may not be obvious where to start, but inaction can have significant impact on your business by both increasing risk and reducing the confidence to address new opportunities.                                                                                                 In this article we outline 5 key questions that can help SMEs to understand what they need to do. Even if you outsource your IT to a supplier these questions are still relevant. Some can’t be delegated, and others are topics for discussion so that you can ensure your service provider is doing the right things, as well as understanding where their responsibilities stop and yours start.                                                                                                            Q1: What's Important & Worth Defending                                                                                                            Not everything needs protecting equally. In your personal life you will have some possessions that are dear to you and others that you are more laissez-faire about. The same applies to your digital assets, and the start point for any security plan needs to be an audit of the things you own and their importance to your business.                                                                                                  Those ‘things’, or assets, may be particular types of data or information. For instance, you may have sensitive intellectual property or trade secrets; you may hold information about your customers that is governed by privacy regulations; or your financial data may be of particular concern. Some of this information needs to be protected from theft, while it may be more important to prevent other types of data from being modified or deleted.                                                                                                 It is helpful to build a list of these assets, and their characteristics like the table below:
