Why Small Businesses Struggle with Security
You're not alone. These challenges affect nearly every growing business—and we've built our SMB security program to solve them.
Budget Constraints
Enterprise security tools and full-time security staff are expensive. SMBs need protection that fits their budget without compromising safety.
Limited IT Staff
Most small businesses lack dedicated security personnel. Your IT team is stretched thin managing day-to-day operations.
Targeted by Attackers
43% of cyberattacks target small businesses. Attackers know SMBs often have weaker defenses than enterprises.
Compliance Requirements
HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2—compliance requirements apply to businesses of all sizes, but SMBs lack compliance expertise.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the Small Business Cybersecurity
43% of cyberattacks target small businesses, and 60% of SMBs that experience a breach go out of business within 6 months. Small businesses are attractive targets because they often have valuable data but weaker defenses than enterprises. A proper cybersecurity program protects your business, customers, and reputation.
Our SMB cybersecurity packages start at $1,500/month for essential protection and scale up based on your needs. This is a fraction of what it would cost to hire a full-time security professional ($150K+ salary) or recover from a breach (average cost: $2.98 million for SMBs). We offer flexible packages that grow with your business.
The foundation of SMB security includes: 1) Employee security awareness training (human error causes 82% of breaches), 2) Endpoint protection and monitoring (24/7 threat detection), 3) Security leadership/strategy (vCISO services), and 4) Compliance support if you handle sensitive data. Our packages bundle these essentials at SMB-friendly pricing.
Most SMBs don't need a full-time CISO—and can't afford the $250K+ salary anyway. A Virtual CISO (vCISO) gives you fractional access to experienced security leadership for strategic guidance, compliance oversight, and risk management at a fraction of the cost. Our vCISO services start at just 8 hours per month.
We can have essential protections in place within 1-2 weeks, including endpoint monitoring and security awareness training. A complete security program with policies, compliance frameworks, and strategic roadmap typically takes 30-60 days to fully implement. We prioritize quick wins that provide immediate protection while building your long-term program.
It depends on your industry and the data you handle. Healthcare organizations need HIPAA compliance. Businesses processing credit cards need PCI DSS. B2B software companies often need SOC 2 to close enterprise deals. We help you identify which frameworks apply and create a practical path to compliance.
Yes. Our incident response team can help contain active threats, investigate what happened, and guide recovery efforts. We also provide post-incident services including forensics, notification support, and implementing protections to prevent future incidents. Contact us immediately if you suspect a breach—time is critical.
Our solutions are designed for modern, distributed workforces. We deploy cloud-based endpoint protection that works anywhere, implement zero-trust security principles, secure cloud applications, and provide security training that addresses remote work risks like home network security and public Wi-Fi dangers.
