Cybersecurity best practices are a standard of doing business today, and quality matters.
Adopting a formalized cybersecurity program shows your business partners, clients, and regulators that you are prepared and ready for whatever may come your way. Done right, it can also help you identify the most impactful way to prioritize your time, energy, and budget to ensure your most critical assets are secured.
Many businesses fail at properly identifying risk, resulting in fear-based decisions, mis-prioritized efforts, and unrealized risks that could lead to a compromise.
When cybersecurity practices are missing or not based on industry standards, vulnerabilities that should be easily mitigated can instead be easily exploited. These deficiencies also make it harder for you to demonstrate your Due Diligence & Due Care and puts you at risk of being out of compliance or being fined.
Trying to figure out how to deal with an attack when it is happening can result in costly mistakes, lost time, and misspent efforts. Without a plan, the cost of a breach and the impact to the business are significantly increased. Failure to respond appropriately and in a timely manner could also expose you to additional fines.
A Cybersecurity Risk Assessment is a systematic and thorough process that is designed to help you understand the key factors that attribute to the likelihood and impact behind each area of risk in your environment. Paired with additional services to help uncover technical risks, like vulnerability scans or penetration tests, you’ll have the information you need to make educated decisions about how to maximize your time, energy, and budget.
It’s no longer enough to just ‘say’ what you’re doing, you need to ‘show’ it. With the help of experienced consultants, develop Policies and Procedures appropriate for your business that will help you implement layers of security. Demonstrate and confidently report that your business is meeting data security requirements.
By having a well thought out Incident Response Plan, you can have confidence during the most chaotic of situations you may encounter. A proper plan will outline the steps to take from the moment a breach is suspected to the post incident reporting. Know exactly what you are required to do by law and some of the best practices that will help you more quickly identify and contain incidents that could blow up into costly events.

Cybercriminals are constantly trying to find new ways to break into business systems. Sadly, too often, they succeed thanks to weak passwords. In fact, nearly 50% of cyberattacks last year involved weak or stolen passwords.
In most cases, a cyber incident will result in data loss or downtime. This can include loss of confidential information, customer data or business records. In some cases, a cyber incident can also cause business interruption or financial loss.
As you work to understand the impact of a risk, you should look to the C.I.A. Triad of Information Security and its foundational principles for guidance. This takes into consideration how an attack may impact information systems your business relies on or the data that you protect and manage.
