Secure data, secure homes

Cybersecurity for Housing Associations

Protecting tenant data is critical to the security of your communities. With the rise in targeted attacks across the sector, strong housing association cybersecurity is essential to safeguard sensitive information, prevent disruption to vital services and maintain the trust of your tenants. Our tailored solutions protect your organisation from increasing cyber threats and ensure your systems and data remain secure at all times.

Key challenges

Disaster recovery gaps

While over half believe they are well prepared, 25% of housing associations still feel underprepared for disaster recovery, increasing the risk of prolonged downtime and data loss after a cyber incident.

Data breach readiness

Despite growing awareness, 29% of the sector considers itself underprepared for data breaches, leaving sensitive tenant and organisational data at risk.

Incident response maturity

A third of housing associations feel underprepared to respond to cyber incidents, making it harder to contain threats quickly and limit operational disruption.

Threat detection and monitoring

25% rate their ability to identify suspicious activity and generate alerts as low, creating blind spots that allow attacks to progress undetected.

Supply chain security

With only 4% rating their supply chain security as high, third-party risk remains a significant and often overlooked exposure.
