Welcome to the Smartdesc November newsletter. This month, we share some useful resources on how to avoid recent Dropbox phishing attacks, how to build an IT Strategy without significant in-house expertise, and how we helped the national charity Mind achieve ISO 27001 certification – in case this is something you are considering at your organisation.
We also have more exciting charity events coming up next year, where you can share ideas and learn from your charity peers on all manner of topics, starting with how to improve your IT Helpdesk / IT Support function on Tuesday 11 February at Microsoft’s London Paddington office.
