Large Organizations are Small Organizations Too
Large public and private organizations are comprised of big, medium and small organizational components. Sharing a common understanding and unified messaging is critical to delivering business/mission value and security.
Small and mid-size businesses are the largest group of employers. Thinking of large organizations separately from this group ignores very important opportunities to increase business value and security because they are all connected and interdependent.
Cyber Liability and Data Breach Insurance for Small Businesses
- Application Process: If the insurance agent asks you a significant number of questions about your cyber hygiene during the application process, don’t answer them and move on.
- Understand Your Coverage: Many policies have limits on the coverage relating to the cause. If you are seeking a $1m policy make sure there is no limit on the cause or the real amount of coverage is that limitation.
- Support Line: The Insurance policy should come with a 24hr support line. Make sure you can call for help without making a claim. Make sure the support line is establishing Attorney-Client privilege.
FTC Guidance for Cyber

Is Your Business Prepared for an Emergency?

Secure Paper, Physical Media, and Devices
High-profile hackers grab the headlines. But some data thieves prefer old school methods – rifling through file cabinets, pinching paperwork, and pilfering devices like smartphones and flash drives. As your business bolsters the security of your network, don’t let that take attention away from how you secure documents and devices.
FTC law enforcement actions, closed investigations, and experiences we’ve heard from businesses demonstrate the wisdom of adopting a 360° approach to protecting confidential data. As Start with Security suggests, securing paper, physical media, and devices is an important part of that strategy.
