From ransomware to phishing scams, cyber criminals are constantly developing more sophisticated methods to steal your data. It’s no longer a matter of if your business will face a cyber incident — but when.  How prepared will you be when it happens?

Here’s where to begin:

•  Review your current setup – What protections do you already have in place? Ensure your business has up-to-date antivirus software, firewalls, secure data backups, and multi-factor authentication enabled.
•  Educate your team – Human error remains one of the biggest cyber security risks. Simple, regular training on phishing, password security, and safe online practices can make a big difference. At CSCM, we offer tabletop exercises and tailored training in areas where your team may need greater awareness. Your employees hold the keys to your systems — and that’s exactly what cyber criminals are after.
• Back up your data – Make sure you have regular, secure backups stored separately from your main systems. This can significantly reduce downtime and data loss in the event of an attack.
• Create an incident response plan – Be ready with a clear plan of action. Know who to contact, what steps to take, and how to minimise disruption if a cyber incident occurs.
• Consider an audit – A trusted IT partner like CSCM can help identify vulnerabilities and provide a tailored plan, based on your business needs.

Being proactive isn’t just about compliance – it’s about protecting your business, your clients, and your reputation.
