Sell across the border?
Your Dublin customers are minding theirs.
Northern Ireland exports £10.5bn a year to Ireland, more than to the rest of the world combined, and almost 70% of cross-border exporters are small businesses.
Under the EU's NIS2 rules, Irish organisations have to manage cyber risk in their supply chains. Expect your customers to start asking how you keep their data safe.
About the project
Mind Yer Business is part of CyberAxis.
CyberAxis is a Northern Ireland programme that helps local businesses understand their cyber security and connects them with a new generation of local cyber talent.
Most businesses here are micro or small, and most don't have anyone whose job is security. That makes people the biggest risk and the biggest opportunity. The free cyber check shows each business where it stands. Together, the results show where NI needs cyber skills most.
CyberAxis is funded by UK Government through the TechFirst programme.
