Security Done Easy: Tailored cybersecurity solutions for your business, that don’t require you to become a tech expert
As a woman business owner, you've worked hard to build your company. You're an expert in your business, but cybersecurity might feel like a daunting challenge. I'm here to tell you that it doesn't have to be. At Security Done Easy, we've developed a framework that empowers you to protect your business without becoming a cybersecurity expert yourself, whether you decide to DIY security for now, or you decide to hire help for the areas you identified.
Let's dive into how our approach, the Holistic Evaluation of Risk (HER) method, can help safeguard what you've built, allowing you to focus on what you do best – running and growing your business.
Identifying Your Strengths
Before we get into the method, we start by recognizing what makes you a great choice to identify risks in your business, rather than someone who doesn’t know your business and will need to you explain it to them anyway. By connecting your top personality traits and areas of business expertise to how those can help you identify or mitigate a potential risk to your business, we identify the foundation for more comprehensive risk management.
Holistic Business Evaluation
This step is about understanding the core aspects of your business that need protection. Whether you've developed a groundbreaking product, cultivated a loyal customer base, or mastered a niche service, each business model comes with its own set of cybersecurity considerations.
For instance, an e-commerce store might prioritize website security and payment processing protection, while a physical store might focus on point-of-sale system security and employee access controls. By understanding your business structure, we can identify potential weak spots and address them effectively.
Mapping the Customer Journey
Your customers are the lifeblood of your business, and their data is a valuable asset that needs protection. We examine every touchpoint in the customer journey:
How do customers find and interact with your business?
What information do you collect during the sales process?
How is customer data stored and managed post-purchase?
By mapping this journey, we can ensure that customer data is protected at every stage, from initial contact to long-term relationship management. This not only safeguards your customers but also builds trust and credibility for your brand.
Tech Stack Assessment
In today's digital age, technology is intertwined with nearly every aspect of business. We take a close look at your tech stack:
Social media presence and management
Cloud storage and services
Internet connectivity and network security
Apps and tools used for the front end or back end operations
Point-of-sale devices and systems
Mobile devices and BYOD policies
And more
Understanding technology from the point of view of your business operations lets us figure out appropriate security measures that won’t disrupt your workflow, and may even help make it more efficient. We'll help you navigate the balance between convenience and security, ensuring your tech works for you, not against you.
Information Flow Analysis
Information is the currency of the modern business world. We analyze how data flows through your organization:
Inventory management
Intellectual property protection
Business-critical data handling
Customer information processing
We'll help you categorize data based on sensitivity and importance, implement proper storage solutions, establish access controls, and create retention policies. This ensures that your valuable information assets are protected while remaining accessible to those who need them.
Financial Flow Evaluation
Money is the lifeblood of your business, and protecting your financial processes is crucial. We examine:
Revenue streams and payment processing
Vendor payment systems
Payroll management
Financial data access and controls
By understanding how money moves through your business, we can implement safeguards to prevent fraud, ensure compliance with financial regulations, and protect your bottom line.
Tailored Solutions for Your Business
The beauty of our framework is its adaptability. We don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, we work with you to help you develop a cybersecurity strategy that fits your unique business needs, budget, and growth plans.
Remember, you don't need to become a cybersecurity expert. Your role is to make informed decisions about protecting your business, and we're here to guide you through that process.
