Are You Prepared?

Helping small and medium businesses with affordable, simple and effective Cybersecurity programs.

Cybersecurity as an Accelerator

Just as the invention of brakes wasn't meant to slow cars down but to enable them to safely travel faster, a right-sized cybersecurity program doesn't hinder your small business—it empowers you to accelerate with confidence.  Without these protective measures, businesses instinctively move more cautiously, missing market opportunities and innovation possibilities due to undefined security boundaries.

Like well-designed brakes that respond precisely when needed without constant friction, a properly designed security program provides protection exactly where needed while eliminating unnecessary obstacles that genuinely slow business growth. By investing in the right cybersecurity guidance, you're not installing a governor that limits speed—you're adding the safety systems that let you confidently push the accelerator.

We begin with a Recovery Strategy

Recovery-first means that no matter what you are doing with your IT, Cybersecurity or business, you want to ensure that in the event of an incident, you can always recover quickly and in a time frame that you can predict.

We're committed to helping small businesses improve their Cybersecurity practices day by day, so that when incidents occur, they remain manageable.

The alternate approach for SMBs

Recovery-First

Our philosophy is straightforward: Be prepared to respond and recover quickly when a cybersecurity incident occurs.

It’s unrealistic to expect a dynamic business to be 100% secure at all times, so we adopt a recovery-first approach.

Essentials

Securing your business doesn’t have to be overwhelming.  We start with the essentials and tailor it for your real risks.

Together, we’ll create a plan that gets you where you want to be without large projects and costs.

Continuous

We work in small, manageable cycles that prioritized real risks to your business using practical solutions not Enterprise approaches.

Costs are predictable and you see continuous improvement over time.

Why is Cybersecurity so important for SMB's?

Cyberattacks can cause substantial financial losses—often between $84,000 and $148,000 per incident for small businesses. Additionally, about 60% of small businesses that experience a serious breach go out of business within six months due to the financial and reputational damage.

Why are SMB’s are more susceptible to Cybersecurity incidents than large enterprises?
Around 47% of businesses with fewer than 50 employees have no cybersecurity budget, and rely on free, consumer-grade security tools that don’t provide the robust protection of the enterprise tools.
  • SMBs are less likely to have robust security measures and dedicated IT staff.
  • The IT work is outsourced and is reactive, not proactive.
  • The tools that “everyone” is using are expensive and require oversight.
Why do SMB’s have a harder time maintaining regulatory compliance?

Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) face significant challenges in maintaining regulatory compliance for several key reasons:

  • Resource constraints: Limited staff and budget make it difficult to monitor, implement and enforce compliance requirements effectively.
  • Regulatory complexity: The regulatory landscape is complex and constantly evolving, requiring businesses to stay current with new and updated laws across multiple jurisdictions and industries.
  • Lack of Expertise: Many SMBs lack in-house expertise in areas such as cybersecurity, employment law, or financial regulations.
  • Cost of Compliance: SMBs report higher per-employee costs for compliance compared to larger competitors. Many must outsource compliance tasks or hire consultants, adding financial strain. This is especially burdensome for SMBs with tight margins.
