Considering cyber security for any business we consider an essential part of keeping your business running the way you need it to and to keep prying eyes out of your business, as well as giving your employees and colleagues the confidence to use your systems.
But why do we need to ensure this is the case? Well, here are just a few reasons why you may want to consider cyber security for your small business
Reducing risk of inability to use systems – While , yes , this may be less common now , actually a ransomware attack can cause you the inability to use your systems, which is currently one of the most common types of cyber crime against small businesses.
Trade secrets being released – Whilst you may think “I don’t have any trade secrets” if anyone has asked you to sign an NDA before sending over some information or you simply have details about a lucrative deal you don’t want anyone else to know about , this too could be considered a trade secret.
Compliance – This word usually scares everyone but you must consider compliance we have as a business , every business must ensure they are in line with the GDPR and data protection but some businesses will also have additional compliance complexities including mortgage advisors , legal professionals , finance brokers , insurance companies , energy companies and yes this is not an exhaustive list at all.
So when are you going to take action for your business and ultimately your future?
