It Won’t Happen to Us!

I feel confident. I’ve got an IT team . I’m too small. I don’t need cyber security & privacy.

That’s what you believe. Until it costs you everything.

You’re not a bank or even a government agency.

You’re feeling very confident maybe because you’ve got an IT team, maybe even a CTO or CIO.

You may even have a certification like ISO27001 and ISO27002.

You’re focus is just on growth, margins, customer satisfaction - not security & privacy headlines, that’s not your role.

You’ve built something solid & everything seems fine…..no red flags.

Until one day you no longer feel confident, it’s no longer your IT team’s responsibility……………….

It’s now a business.

The most dangerous risk is the one you didn’t know you were taking!

What You Are Really Dealing With

You’re a CEO, a Director of a company, a Business Owner.

You’ve built something valuable. Spent a lot of hours building the business and maintaining the business. Something worth protecting like putting security alarms into a physical space.

BUT you keep thinking or believing things like:

“We’re too small to be a target as cyber and privacy issues are not an issue for us. These issues only impact organisations like banks and government agencies with thousands or tens of thousands of employees, well that’s what I keep hearing and reading anyway”

“That’s the IT team’s and CIO/CTO’s job, not mine to know and have knowledge on”

“We’ve got ISO….so we are all good, just need the IT team to focus security when we are up for recertification - every 3 years and surveillance audits once a year….what’s the worst that can happen!”

“We’ve got cyber insurance, so we’re covered. I trust the team has the right documents in place and I believe they get updated every 3 years, and we are practicing them regularly.“

BUT GUESS WHAT?

Your brand could be one misstep away from headlines.

Your sales could collapse because of the red flags have been hidden quietly you were just unaware or didn’t want to know them.
Your customers could lose trust over a simple mistake you never saw coming.
Your cyber insurance could fail to pay out, leaving your business exposed and your reputation in ruins, all because you believed everything was in place like security and privacy documentation reviewed and updated regularly to align with the fast changes being made in the organisation, when they weren’t.

The Real Risk Isn’t just Hackers -

It’s Blind Spots

Cyber security and privacy aren’t just outside threats.

They’re about the inside too - the everyday decisions, business strategies, systems, and operation processes that nobody truly questions.

Over 60% of CEOs surveyed said their organisation doesn’t incorporate cyber security into business strategies, services, or products from the outset.

(Accenture’s Cyber-Resilient CEO report, 2023)

This isn’t about fear……..it’s about clarity, gaining confidence that there are no RED FLAGS quietly hidden from you.

Imagine this…….

You didn’t get hacked,

You didn’t end up on the front page of a business publication for the wrong reasons,

But something happened.

You were about to close a deal -

and the buyer flagged some security and privacy issue you didn’t know existed.

You rolled out a new customer experience -

and your vendor was handling data in a way that violated the law and doesn’t meet security and privacy best practices.

You were sitting in a board meeting -

and someone finally asked: “Who’s actually responsible for this?”

In that moment, it hit you & now you’re thinking differently:

You’ve built an incredible business -> but your internal practices haven’t kept pace.
You thought you were covered -> but your IT team was working in isolation.
You trusted the process -> but no one ever questioned it.
You did what everyone else did -> and thought it would be enough.

And now this is where our team comes in.
