Risk Analysis and Plan
Did you know that over half of all cyber attacks target small businesses? And nearly 7 in 10 of those businesses suffered an attack in the last year? On the low end of the average these data breaches cost your company $120,000, yikes!
That’s pretty scary. Take a deep breath, keep calm, and carry on. Leave that concern to us. It’s our job. Certainly take it seriously though.
Not sure where to begin? We’ve got you covered there too. Just ask us for our Risk Analysis and Plan (RAP). We will work together to get a holistic view of your current security posture with recommended solutions to improve what matters.
