For marketing agencies
Cyber & AI governance for marketing agencies.
Marketing agencies have become technology businesses.
Teams work across dozens of cloud platforms, client environments, creative applications and increasingly AI tools.
But the security and governance surrounding that technology often hasn't evolved at the same speed.
Recognise any of this?
We don't really know which AI tools people use.
Clients are asking more security questions.
We use freelancers who need access to client systems.
We're considering Cyber Essentials.
Everyone seems to have their own SaaS tools.
We don't have anyone who really owns cyber security.
We're not sure what can safely be put into ChatGPT.
A client has sent us another security questionnaire.
Could we prove our security controls if a client asked us tomorrow?
Creative freedom and security don't need to be opposites.
Security controls designed for traditional corporate IT environments can be difficult to apply to creative organisations.
Agencies need flexibility.
Designers need specialist software. Teams collaborate externally. Freelancers come and go. Client platforms require access. AI tools can provide significant productivity benefits.
The answer isn't simply to block everything.
It's to understand the risk and introduce sensible guardrails.
Client asking for Cyber Essentials?
Increasingly, security requirements appear during tenders, supplier onboarding and client security reviews.
Centrally Secured can help assess your current position, identify the gaps and prepare the organisation for Cyber Essentials certification.
Could we prove our security controls if a client asked us tomorrow?
Security questionnaires and tender requirements are now a normal part of winning and keeping client work. They ask about access, suppliers, backups, subcontractors and, more often, what happens to client information inside AI tools.
Freelancers and contractors are part of that answer. A login that outlives the job, or a personal laptop holding client files, is a gap a questionnaire will find.
Continuous assurance exists so the agency can answer the practical question. Are the devices that touch client information encrypted, patched and looked after? Yes, and here is the evidence.
