Why Small Businesses Are Targeted

Attackers do not go after small businesses by accident. They target them because small businesses often run without dedicated IT staff, skip security updates, and use tools that were never properly configured. That creates easy entry points.

A single ransomware attack or email compromise can shut down operations, expose customer data, and cost tens of thousands of dollars to recover from. Most small businesses do not have the cash reserves to absorb that kind of hit.

Common Cyber Risks for Small Businesses

• Business email compromise and wire fraud
• Ransomware attacks that lock you out of your own systems
• Weak or reused passwords across accounts
• Unpatched software and outdated systems
• No written security policies
• No incident response plan
• Cyber insurance gaps or failed coverage claims

Frequently Asked Questions

Are small businesses really at risk of cyberattacks?

Yes. Small businesses account for a significant share of breach victims each year. Attackers look for easy targets, and businesses without security controls fit that description.

How much does a cyber risk assessment cost?

Cost depends on your size and scope. Schedule a free consultation and we will give you a clear number based on your situation.

Do I need cybersecurity if I use Microsoft 365?

Yes. Microsoft 365 is secure by design, but the default settings are not configured for your specific business. Most tenants have significant gaps out of the box.

Can you help us get cyber insurance?

We help you prepare for the security review that insurers require. We do not sell insurance, but we can help you qualify for better coverage.

What if we have already had a breach?

We can help with post-breach review, incident response planning, and security improvements to reduce the chance of it happening again.
