For small businesses with little to no IT resources, it can be daunting to keep up with your IT systems and security. However, that doesn't mean it's not possible. Partner with FGM Technology Services, and together we can make sure you avoid the following five IT mistakes.
1. Ignoring cyber security basics
Many small businesses assume they're too small to be targeted by cyber attacks, but that's not true. While you may not need a deep, comprehensive approach to cyber security, it is still vital to cover the basics. FGM Technology Services can provide you with an information security assessment and plan to meet your needs and protect your business from cyber attacks.
2. Not backing up data properly
Does your business rely on local data backups or none at all? Don't risk permanent data loss after hardware failure or a cyber attack. FGM Technology Services can help you implement a more comprehensive data backup strategy.
3. Using outdated hardware and/or software
Are you saving money by relying on older hardware or software? It may seem like a great idea now, but it is a big risk. FGM Technology Services can help you develop a hardware lifecycle plan, regularly update your systems, and invest in reliable equipment.
4. Lacking an IT strategy or plan
Are you reacting to IT issues instead of proactively planning? This can result in inefficiency and missed opportunities. FGM Technology Services can help create an IT strategy plan that aligns with your business' needs and goals. Let's work together to help you plan and prepare, rather than react.
5. Neglecting employee IT training
People are often the weakest link in any cyber security approach. Security controls can only protect so much. To really protect your business and its data, you need to ensure your employees are trained and aware of cyber security basics. Partner with FGM Technology Services, and let's create a simple, practical employee IT training program together.
