Cyber Security Is Easier Than You Think...

What sensitive client data are you keeping on your computers or devices?

Recently, we performed one of our complimentary security health checks on a new client, and we found that 40 credit card details were being kept in a spreadsheet on the reception computer. The potential liability cost listed is probably too modest.

This is a common scenario for many businesses. People just don't know what they don't know.

What sensitive data are you keeping, that you don't need to, or that exposes you to risk?

It's never too late to start. Don't be ashamed if you have no idea about your security.

Cybersecurity is easier than you think. Just start with one thing.
