Whether you’ve been in business for decades or have recently set up shop, it’s important to reevaluate what’s going on with your company on an annual basis. Aside from factors like your profits and services or products, you should also consider protection, including cyber security and business continuity. Here’s what you need to know. 

Business Protection

Cyber Security

Between backup storage and financial transactions, so many business procedures are handled online. Unfortunately, this makes the information vulnerable to hacking. Small businesses, in particular, are often targets, as they usually lack a dedicated IT team to handle malware.

Not every business faces the same level of risk; for example, an interior decorating firm isn’t likely to have as much sensitive data as an insurance company. The latter should have more advanced cyber security support.  

Business Continuity 

In the event of a disaster, network failure, major cyber security attack, or human error, you should make sure your business can get back up and running right away. Every minute, hour, or day you’re unable to operate will result in financial losses. Business continuity encapsulates all the goals and protocols needed to back up, protect, and recover data, network connections, software, and anything else you need for daily operations.

Establishing a solid plan requires input from all departments. To manage this, work with an outside organization to get a broader, objective perspective. Finally, identify the most critical functions and areas of your business and prioritize protecting and securing them.
