Cybersecurity in Toronto, Canada
Whether you are a big or small business, the cybersecurity threat should be among your biggest concerns. The Federal Communications Commission reported that digital information theft had surpassed physical theft. This goes to show how critical cybersecurity is.
At Nuformat, we understand that having a full-time IT team monitoring and addressing cyber threats can be daunting. That is why we are here. We save you from the hassle of assembling a cybersecurity team as we handle all your cybersecurity needs, from assessment to addressing threats and attacks.
Cybersecurity and Consulting Services
Even if cybersecurity is a crucial part of any business today, it doesn’t have to be an in-house project. As a small business, you might need to outsource cyber security to concentrate on other parts of the business.
This is where cybersecurity consultants such as Nuformat come in. We take away cybersecurity pressure from your business and manage it for you.
Small Business Cybersecurity
Small businesses are faced with a potent cybersecurity threat. People with malicious intent find that small businesses are an easy target. But we are here to ensure your business is not an easy target.
Threats to your business can come from anywhere, and they might take any of the following styles:
- Exploits
- Malware/Ransomware
- Phishing
- Cryptojacking
But there is no need to panic. We can protect your business against any attacks. Our process includes assessing the cyber security state of your business. After this, we provide all cyber security solutions under one roof. We then provide a single pane of glass cyber security management where you or your IT team can monitor everything concerning your cyber security on a dashboard.
What follows is constant vigilance against any attacks. Furthermore, our services are very comprehensive, avoiding long-term contractual commitments.
Managed Security Services – MDR
Managing cyber security services is the best thing you can do for your business. A highly qualified and competent cybersecurity team can significantly increase your business’s costs.
Therefore, it is more prudent to outsource through managed security services. Outsourcing your cyber security to us gives your business several advantages, including.
24/7 threat detection, investigation, and response.
Your IT team does not have to spend their time monitoring, detecting, or investigating threats. We can do that for you, so your IT team can focus on more critical tasks. Once we establish there is a threat, we take it out immediately.
Up-to-date firewall
A firewall should be the first line of defense for any internet business. We ensure that you have two firewall updates per month. We also provide firewall configuration changes, firewall backups, operating system updates, and other support functions.
Freedom from fixed contracts
Our terms of service are very flexible, and you only pay for them monthly, giving your business the flexibility, it needs. Avoid being tied into contracts, which limit your business’s agility.
Cloud-Based Management
Cloud-based management removes the responsibility of having to take care of physical servers. Cloud-based management offers you faster downtime and exceptional recovery time in the event of an incident. It also allows for a single-pane glass management system where your team can monitor all cyber-security activity on a dashboard.
Compliance
As the digital space grows and its use cases increase, so do its risks. Therefore, the government takes responsibility for putting regulations in place to protect businesses and their users against malicious intentions and activities.
As a business, you must understand two crucial things about compliance. We ensure that a business understands what business compliance standards are and what business compliance frameworks are.
Business compliance standards are the regulations and provisions every business must adhere to. When you work with us, we ensure you work within the legal confines to avoid any problems with the authorities.
Here are some of the standards we ensure your business is compliant with:
- PCS DSS Compliance – This applies to merchants, vendors, and financial institutions.
- HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) – Applies to medical and non-medical businesses operating in the healthcare space.
- GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) – This applies to international businesses, especially in the EU region.
- PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act) – This applies to all businesses in Canada.
In addition, there are cybersecurity frameworks that stipulate business cybersecurity best practices. These frameworks include:
- ITSG (IT Security Risk Security Guidance) – Canada
- NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology)
- SOC2
- CIS (Center for Internet Security)
We implement the framework of your choice.
Education and Resources
The users in your business must understand what cyber security is and how they can help prevent an attack. Hackers and malicious people can take advantage of the naiveté of your employees and other users and gain access to the system.
The system is conducted over the Web and conducted anywhere in the world. That is why we offer training to all users of your system. In addition, the training is curated to fit your particular business and is fully managed from end to end.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
There are always more questions asked when looking for further insight concerning cybersecurity. These are some of the frequently asked ones.
Do small businesses need cyber security?
Cybersecurity is a crucial business process for both big and small businesses. Any business that uses the internet, computers, and related resources to run part of its business needs to have a cyber security strategy.
It is in the interest of small businesses to cultivate trust with their customers. One way is by implementing cybersecurity measures to protect the customers’ data.
Why is cybersecurity important for small businesses?
Cybersecurity is essential for small businesses because, to hackers, small businesses seem like easy targets. And at times, small businesses are an easy target because they fail to invest in cyber security.
Any business that carries customer data, financial transaction data, or even intellectual property data is at risk of attack. Hackers are looking for such information to maliciously manipulate the data owners or hold the business at ransom. Therefore, being a small business is why you should have cybersecurity measures.
