Your organisation needs a cybercrime programme to counter cybercrime. Cybercrime is now an everyday occurrence in today’s modern society. Globally, countries are unsure how to handle cybercrimes that occur within their borders. To complicate matters, countries are also uncertain about how to handle cybercrimes that occur outside of their borders while affecting their citizens.
Many countries have created laws to combat cybercrime and keep people safe from criminals, terrorists, and other states wishing to harm. These laws are essential and can have practical implications. By understanding cybercrime law’s practical impact on you, you can make effective decisions to protect your organisation from cybercrime and implement proactive measures to prevent further crimes.
This cybercrime programme will help you plan the practical actions to take to deal with cybercrime and help you comply with cybercrime laws.

Is this for me?
The cybercrimes programme does not deal with information or cyber security. The cybercrimes programme does not help an organisation implement technical measures to prevent cybercrime. That is part of our data protection programme.
Our cybercrimes programme focuses on the governance, legal or regulatory compliance aspects of cybercrime.
If you’re not sure whether the programme option will suit you, then we encourage you to complete this complimentary impact assessment on your organisation. The impact assessment takes about four minutes to complete and once we have your answers we will give you our recommendation.

FAQ about the cybercrimes programme
What happens after I join?
We will ask you for a list of the people who you would like to have access. We’ll help them receive our emails and send them an invitation by email to log in to the programme. We will then set up a programme onboarding session with those people to orientate them in the programme and get the most out of it.
How many people in my organisation can have access?
The subscription is per organisation. You can give access to an unlimited number of named users in your organisation (unless your quote or invoice specifies a number of users). Members of the programme often add about twenty people. For example, officers, managers and data champions. The programme is not for the executive or general employees.
How long will my organisation have access for?
You will have access for as long as your organisation continues to subscribe. Michalsons continuously updates the content as the law and best practices develop. Like physical fitness, compliance is a journey, and you always work towards being more fit.
