Where to Start with Cybersecurity

It doesn’t matter what size your business is you must protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of your company’s and your customer’s information.  Information is the lifeblood of your business and information is the money of your business.  

Protecting your data allows you to protect your business and your income.

To successfully secure your information, you need to know where you are storing information and you need to think twice before storing data in new or different places. Yes, it’s fun and easy to try new applications and it’s very easy to decide to walk away.  If you walk away, you may be leaving information behind. 

Think twice before signing up for the free trial and adding company data to a new application because in exchange for some free software time, you’re giving away information that drives your business.

Get Started with Research

Begin the journey to a secure business today by beginning to create what is often called a disaster recovery plan.  The goal here is to make sure you have tracked and documented exactly where you are storing information for your business and what you plan to do when your data is lost.

Research is an important part of the process, you need to know what type of security is already in place and what type of technology you are using.  Its time to start tracking your tech and knowing exactly where you are storing data.

Make a list of the applications you use and where you store your data then partner with someone who understands the applications you are using and can review the security settings you have established to determine what needs to be fixed or improved.  Your security partner should offer you the ability to receive periodic notifications on any security breaches or issues with the applications that you use.
