January 28: A Call to Action for Your Business Security
Data Privacy Day isn’t just a reminder—it’s a wake-up call. Cyberattacks are more sophisticated and costly than ever, with data breaches averaging $4.35 million in 2023. The reality? No business is too small to be targeted.

Why SMBs Are Prime Targets
Think you’re too small for cybercriminals? Think again. Nearly 43% of cyberattacks hit small businesses, often with devastating results:

  • Financial losses: From hefty fines to ransom demands.
  • Reputational damage: Losing customer trust is hard to recover from.
  • Business disruption: Downtime can paralyze operations.

What Hackers Want
Your data is valuable, and hackers are after:

  • Customer info: Credit cards, login details.
  • Employee records: Social Security numbers, payroll data.
  • Business financials: Bank details, trade secrets.

How Cybercriminals Strike
From phishing emails to ransomware attacks, cybercriminals use methods like:

  • Weak passwords and unsecured networks.
  • Fraudulent links that trick your team.

Five Steps to Data Privacy Success

  • Know your data

    Inventory everything—customer info, employee records, sensitive financials—and limit access to only what’s necessary.

  • Encrypt Everything

    Protect data with encryption at all times, whether in storage or transit.

  • Control Access

    Adopt the "least privilege" principle—team members only access what they need.

  • Train Your Team

    Teach employees to recognize threats, protect devices, and report suspicious activity.

  • Partner With IT Experts

    A trusted IT provider can audit systems, monitor threats, and secure your network.
