In fact, it gets more rigorous every year. <\/p>\n<p class=\"prnml40\">\u201cWe see lots of startups needing various certifications like ISO 27001 to even get in the room with bigger clients, so it really opens doors for businesses. They must prove they can handle data responsibly. <\/p>\n<p class=\"prnml40\">\u201cAt Cognisys we\u2019ve established a name for dependable and accessible governance, risk and compliance consultancy and servicing, and I\u2019m proud to see the company grow from a tiny office in Halifax to a business operating in 12 countries and as many time zones as you can imagine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"prntal\">About Cognisys<\/p>\n<p>Founded: January 2019, Halifax, UK<br \/>Headquarters: Leeds, UK (since&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bebeez.eu\/2026\/06\/01\/from-leeds-to-australia-and-beyond-cognisys-takes-cybersecurity-worldwide\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Leeds to Australia and beyond: Cognisys takes cybersecurity worldwide \u2013 BeBeez International https:\/\/bebeez.eu\/2026\/06\/01\/from-leeds-to-australia-and-beyond-cognisys-takes-cybersecurity-worldwide\/ Publish&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[57],"class_list":["post-260955","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-security"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260955"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=260955"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260955\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=260955"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=260955"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=260955"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
