Since May 12, 2017,
organizations globally
have suffered from data
compromises as a result of
the WannaCry ransomware
attack. As part of our Club’s
software and data security
measures, our IT team has
upgraded
our
backup
software from a 16- to a
40-cycle system (that will
allow for the recalling of files
up to 1.5 months back), as
well as undertaken a further
backup of all PCs. All staff are
also reminded to adhere to
cyber security measures and
policies.

16 of our full-time
and 6 part-time staff
have recently participated
in a 3-day Occupational
First-Aid, CPR & AED Training
course. This highlights our
commitment across all levels/
designations of staff to our
core value, Safety. Over 100
of our staff are now first-aid/
CPR-qualified.

Our Senior Director of
Facilities & Security, Tang
Teck Wah, was re-elected as
Chair of the Claymore Cluster
Safety & Security Watch Group
this year. In this capacity, he
facilitates quarterly meetings
with over 30 Facility Managers
and security personnel from
commercial buildings within
walking distance of The Club.
These meetings, during which
security ideas, developments,
and joint evacuations are
shared and planned, ensures
our Club is kept well-apprised
of security and safety updates
and procedures.
