Often when running a small business or organization, security is a neglected afterthought or an annoyance. At least until something bad happens, and it will. Implementing basic security protocols does not have to be expensive, time consuming or annoying however.
Here is what we can do to help you protect yourself:
- Security Audit. The first place to start is to understand your business and perform a basic security audit. This will determine if there are any basic security issues that need to be addressed.
- Policy. Establish a basic security policy for your business or organization. This eliminates any ambiguity between management and employees. This can be a very strict set of practices or a loose series of guidelines, depending on the culture of your group. It is important to understand the group dynamics and management needs to implement an effective policy without negatively affecting group dynamics or morale.
- Buid Defenses. Establish a barrier between your information and assets and the rest of the world. This will be highly dependent on the size and type of your organization. It may be as simple as securing your office computers to setting up a network device between you and the internet.
- Maintaining security. The internet is an evolving creature and security needs to evolve with it. Effective updating of protocols as well as simple but constant monitoring of activities is important to protect yourself and your future.
