RSM: High profile data breaches highlight significant threat to third party data

The NHS has suffered disruption to patient care following a cyber-attack on a third-party supplier, according to RSM UK. This follows a recent hack on a data holder for Ticketmaster and Santander customers. Over the past year, 58% of middle market businesses have had their third-party service provider suffer a cyber-attack or data breach. RSM UK stressed the importance of thorough cyber due diligence for third-party suppliers.
