Cybersecurity Risk

Is your business safe? Our clients are asking this question everyday. In the last year alone, we’ve seen a major increase in cybersecurity questions. Many business owners are confused about whether or not cyber attacks are a real threat. Many want a quick way to find out. Why worry unless you have a real problem?

In the 2016 Ponemon Cost of Data Breach Global Study, published in June 2016, Ponemon reports, “While the likelihood of a data breach involving a minimum of 10,000 records is estimated at approximately 26% over a 24 month period, the chances of a data breach involving 100,000 records is less than 1%.” Why is this important? This statement shows larger organizations with larger data sets are typically better protected than small businesses. Simply stated, small business is a more attractive target for cyber criminals.

We recommend right-sized assessments that take into consideration 1) the size and complexity of your business and 2) Whether or not your business is subject to regulatory constraints. There is an art to right-sizing security assessments for small business and we understand the delicate balance.

Why are Assessments Important?

Cyber threats are a serious issue for businesses today. Many companies do not have the appropriate safeguards or policies and procedures in place.  Other businesses may feel they have implemented the proper standards when in reality they are at risk.  The CMIT Cybersecurity Assessment can identify the areas that your company needs to improve and recommend the appropriate action. We find your security holes and plug them.
