However, we cannot continue to keep delivering training in the same way as the last few decades. Cyber Risk Aware is leading the way through innovation, not following the herd in only providing ‘scheduled training courses’, but by offering multi-lingual, real-time learning solutions that cannot be rivalled.” www.cyberriskaware.com Aiimi gains Carbon Neutral Plus certification Data and information management company Aiimi, has been certified a Carbon Neutral Plus organisation. This comes in recognition of the company’s efforts to reduce its long- term energy consumption, as well as its commitment to supporting global projects designed to help tackle climate change. Awarded by Carbon Footprint, reaching carbon-neutral status was Aiimi’s primary environmental goal for 2020, and a core tenet of its Aiimi Goes Green initiative launched last year. The process involved an independent assessment of the company’s carbon footprint, measuring factors like on-site energy use and employee travel. CEO Steve Salvin, said: “When we saw the results of the assessment, we were surprised at just how much carbon a business of our size produces. It was clear we could do better, so we wanted to do something to set a positive example to ourselves, to other businesses in the Milton Keynes area, and to tech companies nationally.” To help offset this carbon output, Aiimi has chosen to invest in a borehole rehabilitation project in Uganda. www.aiimi.com Ringdale featured in IDC report Ringdale has been featured in IDC’s latest Spotlight Report , focusing on the evolving workplace, highlighting the importance of compliance tools to ensure data privacy.
