Why your business needs a Digital Security Check
Security breaches and cyber-attacks can devastate a small business. Not only is cybercrime currently costing Australian businesses almost $100 million per year, but it also risks exposing your customer’s details, opening you up to legal headaches and reputation damage.
The relatively smaller cost of regular checks could save you thousands of dollars of damage in the long-run.
