There are 5 mistakes that business owners make that can cost them BIG time if something goes awry.

No continuity plan - if something goes wrong, can you resume business tomorrow? How about next week? Next month? 
Continuity plan doesn’t include a risk assessment - certain disasters require different actions. You need to assess what could affect your business and build your plan accordingly.
Didn’t train the team on the continuity plan - a plan is only good in an emergency if your team knows how to execute it.
The continuity plan wasn’t updated - employees come and go and processes change. Does your plan reflect those updates?
No offsite or cloud backup - if everything was erased today, could you get it back tomorrow or would you have to start over from nothing?

Are you making any of these mistakes? We can help.

Your devices store a lot of personal data about you!
Everything from passwords and account information to recently visited websites and deleted files can make you vulnerable to a cyber attack.
And, your devices are collecting this information 24/7.
When you download a bank statement, use password autofill on websites, or forget to clear your cache, you’re putting yourself at risk.
Some of these actions can be eliminated, but others are difficult to avoid. Your best option is to have an IT professional properly install the right security solutions and monitor your network around the clock for vulnerabilities.
This will help you reduce your risk.

Multi-factor authentication is a free and effective way to keep your accounts secure.

This feature allows a confirmation code to be sent to your personal device via a text or an authentication app. You then enter this code where prompted on the page you’re trying to log into.

With this second layer of security, a stolen password is no longer enough for a hacker to get access to your account.

Does it take an extra 30 seconds of your time to log in? Yes, but it is 100% worth it!

If you don’t have this in place yet, we can help with this and more must-have security features. Start with your FREE 10-minute Discovery Call.

Are you prepared for the unexpected?

If your office flooded tomorrow, how long would it take you to get back up and running?

Most business owners never think about or prepare for these situations.

It doesn’t matter what size of business you have or industry you’re in, you need a disaster recovery plan.

Without one, you can face permanent data loss, huge out-of-budget expenses, severely reduced productivity or inability to work at all, a damaged reputation and more which will result in lost customers and revenue.

Prepare. We hope you’ll never need your disaster recovery plan, but if you ever do, you’ll be glad you made one.

As more new AI tools roll out, cybercriminals are finding new and creative ways to use them to make the process of hacking easier.
Programs like ChatGPT allow hackers to develop fake login pages with minimal coding experience, creating deepfake data (like phone calls that sound like people you know), and even building stronger, harder-to-spot malware.
Some are even using it to automate their cyber-attacks.
It’s more important than ever to be regularly scanning your network, patching any vulnerabilities, and staying up to date on the latest scams.
The easiest way is to have a quality IT team doing this for you and reporting back what you need to know. That way you can focus on your business and we can focus on keeping cybercriminals out.
