Decalex Digital, the first Romanian company specializing in cybersecurity services, GDPR, and digital compliance, founded in 2013 by three young Romanian entrepreneurs, is expanding into Europe, with its first office outside Romania inaugurated in London. This milestone was marked by a special business breakfast organized in partnership with the British Computer Society (BCS) in London, dedicated to the business community in the UK capital.

In a world where cyber threats are escalating at an unprecedented rate, and businesses are increasingly concerned about the challenges posed by emerging technologies and GenAI solutions, the Romanian company Decalex Digital is expanding its services by opening the Decalex Digital UK office in London.

CyberBreakfast by Decalex Digital, a unique and groundbreaking event in London's cybersecurity services market, proved to be more than just a discussion—it was a transformational experience. Executives, decision-makers, and cybersecurity experts from renowned international companies analyzed real-world challenges, shared valuable insights, and outlined strategies to successfully navigate the ever-evolving and dynamic regulatory compliance landscape.

Key Takeaways from CyberBreakfast by Decalex Digital UK:

The Power of Dialogue – An open, interactive, and engaging exchange where expertise met real-world challenges.
The Power of Community – Leaders from various industries collaboratively tackled pressing cybersecurity challenges.
Real-World Business Cases – The "Processor Vulnerability" case study highlighted the risks of misaligned IT and cybersecurity strategies, demonstrating the financial, operational, and reputational impact of cyber incidents.

Cybersecurity is not just an IT or technical issue—it must become an intrinsic part of every company's business strategy, and even more so, its survival strategy. Recent studies show that 88% of companies in the S&P 500 lack internal expertise to manage cyber risks. Additionally, the average recovery time for small and medium-sized businesses after a serious security incident is 7.3 months, an unacceptably long period in today's globally competitive market.

"The UK market is an extremely mature one from a consulting services perspective, but our competitive advantage in this market is the type of compliance solutions we strategically implement to support the business objectives of organizations. In the coming years we want to develop the London subsidiary and position ourselves on the local market as a valuable business partner for companies' growth," emphasized Cristiana Deca, CEO & Founder of Decalex Digital.

The essential and mandatory measures for proper risk management and minimization begin with reviewing and updating contracts with third-party IT providers, aimed at mitigating risks and improving company resilience. Equally important is having a well-structured incident response plan. In conclusion, compliance alone is not enough—organizations must test and embrace cyber resilience, foster collaboration, and take proactive steps to secure their future.
