Why IT and Data Security Are

Critical for All Businesses

SMBs Are Prime Targets
Over 60% of SMBs go out of business within 6 months of a cyberattack. Cybercriminals view small businesses as easy targets due to limited resources and outdated protections.

Regulatory Compliance
Even small businesses must meet industry regulations like HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and FINRA. Failure to comply can result in
fines, legal action, and business closure.

Financial Loss and Downtime
The average cost of a breach for SMBs is over $200,000. Ransomware, phishing, and other attacks can halt business
operations, often without a recovery plan.

Reputation and Trust
Customer trust is vital. A single data breach can damage your brand and customer relationships, especially in sectors
like

Did you know that the number of cyberattacks on business has been on the many for several years in a row, because larger Enterprises have budgeted to harden there footprint. Every business is vulnerable, after large organizations like Target, Capital One, and the cities of Baltimore and Atlanta have had huge nationally publicized breaches the criminals turned to less fortified businesses.

Now every business that manages and processes data with a system of computers is in the scopes. A single failure within a system can have significant consequences such as inaccurate billing, inability to retrieve data, or release of confidential information. If your sensitive data is compromised, how likely are you to be sued and what would it cost to recover you data? If your website goes dark, how much time & money would it take to get it back up? How much are inefficiencies and dated technology costing the business?
