Your Business Security: 3 Signs it’s Time to Upgrade

Any business owner knows that security is essential. However, not every business can afford to implement the highest level of security measures for their business. Small businesses often have to make choices about what’s essential and what isn’t. As a result, it’s important for you to periodically review your security system to make sure it still meets your needs.

In this brief article, we will go over three signs that it may be time for you to upgrade your company’s security.

1. Compliance Requirements are Changing

As you know, compliance requirements in your industry can change at any time. This is especially true when a new law goes into effect or when the FTC revises its guidance on best practices. To stay compliant with the law and protect yourself from fines, make sure you’re up to date on all relevant regulations.

But how do you know if it’s time for an upgrade? Well, if your system needs an update because it doesn’t meet current standards, then it should be upgraded immediately. It’s also important to look at how frequently new laws are passed (or old ones reinterpreted). If there have been several changes within the last year or two that affect your business model, then upgrading now may be a good idea so that everything is up to date as soon as possible.

2. You’ve Added More Employees

It’s a natural progression: As your business grows, you hire more employees and bring on board more devices. What happens? Your security risks grow too. In addition to the fact that there are more people involved in your business, there may also be additional compliance requirements that need to be addressed when adding new employees. This can present added obstacles when it comes to keeping everyone and everything safe in your workplace.

3. You’ve Lost Confidence in Your Security Measures

If you are in a position where you do not feel comfortable with what is going on, or even if you’re not sure what’s going on and how it affects your security, it could be time to upgrade. The last thing you want is to be caught off-guard by an attack that could have been prevented.

It’s also important to remember that trust in your security team is crucial for your company’s success. If your employees do not feel comfortable using the security measures they’ve been given because they don’t know how effective they will be, then people won’t use them at all, or worse, they could use them incorrectly.
