Maybe you’re wondering why your business needs a security strategy, or you think your previous security strategy is enough. The truth is, from cyber hackers to physical theft, the threats facing businesses like yours evolve every day. Your business needs to evolve too, with a security strategy that can combat these new threats to keep your people, data and property safe.
To be effective, your security strategy needs to be bespoke to your business’s requirements. First of all, you’ll need to conduct a security risk assessment to understand the specific risks your business faces and the regulations you’ll need to comply with. Are your devices secure and protected from malware? Do you need CCTV or a mobile security patrol to protect your property from potential theft or criminal damage? Do your colleagues understand the risks of a social engineering scam in the workplace or how to spot attempted phishing in an email?
Once you understand where your security is weakest, you’ll be able to build your strategy, creating goals to strengthen security in those specific areas. A comprehensive security strategy will combine both physical and cybersecurity measures that you need to take, to reach those goals and keep your business secure. Look at the risks you’ve assessed and plan what you need to do to combat them, creating a roadmap of how you will put those security measures in place. You’ll need to think about what external resources – like support from our team at Stonewall Security – and technology you might need to bring in to upgrade your security systems.
