As your business becomes more digital, the risk increases.
Your business depends on email, cloud applications, laptops and user accounts. A single compromised account or infected laptop can lead to a data breach, fraud or costly downtime. Cybersecurity is essential for businesses of every size.
Why now
More digital.
More risk.
More demands.
Professional cybersecurity is becoming essential for SMEs.
More entry points for attackers
Businesses increasingly rely on email, cloud applications and connected systems. Every account, app and employee adds a potential entry point for attackers.
Faster attacks on a larger scale
AI and automation make it easier to target many businesses at once. Attackers use phishing, stolen credentials and software vulnerabilities to gain access on a large scale.
Customers want proof
Customer requirements, GDPR, NIS2 and ISO 27001 place greater emphasis on managing risk, assigning clear responsibilities and demonstrating effective security. You need to show which security measures you have in place.
A secure laptop is just the beginning.
Security needs to cover your email, cloud data, accounts and employees too.
Where security efforts often focus
Laptops & networks
Antivirus, a firewall and software updates only secure part of your IT environment. Much of your business data is stored and used beyond those devices and your network.
→The rest of your digital environment
Email & cloud files
Email, files and customer data in Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace.
Accounts & apps
Login credentials, permissions and integrations in Slack, Salesforce and other business apps.
Employees & partners
Your employees, external agencies and IT partners with access to your systems and data.
Websites & business software
Your website, customer portal, CRM and other systems that support your business operations.
Who secures your entire digital environment?
How attackers get into your systems.
A compromised account or infected laptop can put your data and day-to-day operations at risk.
A convincing message
An employee enters their login details on a fake sign-in page.
Account takeover
An attacker gains access to email, cloud files and connected apps.
Data breach & payment fraud
Customer data can be copied and payment instructions altered.
Laptop
Malicious software
An employee opens a malicious file, or an attacker exploits a known vulnerability.
Device takeover or ransomware
An attacker takes control of the laptop or encrypts files, leaving you unable to access them.
Data breach & downtime
Data can be leaked or sold. Encrypted files can bring day-to-day operations to a halt.
SaaS application
An old account remains active
An attacker uses an old account in Salesforce, Slack or a CRM system.
Access through a cloud integration
The app still has permission to read email or files in Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace.
Undetected data theft
Business data can be viewed or copied through the app using its existing permissions. Without monitoring, this can go unnoticed.
Who responds while you sleep?
Who investigates alerts and takes action 24/7, before attackers lock you out of your systems or stolen data ends up on the dark web?
The assumption “We’re too small to be a target.”
The risk Your customer data and accounts are valuable too. Automated attacks target businesses of every size.
The assumption “Our CTO or IT manager handles this.”
The risk Cybersecurity competes with day-to-day IT responsibilities. Alerts can go unnoticed, and attacks can continue outside office hours.
The assumption “Our IT partner has it covered.”
The risk IT management may cover only devices and networks. Cloud app monitoring and security incident response are not automatically included.
The assumption “It’s already included in our IT bill.”
The risk Without clear security agreements and reporting, you cannot tell what is covered, which alerts are being handled or where gaps remain.
Check what’s actually in place.
Go through the checklist with your CTO, IT manager or IT partner.
