Managing Business Risk Through Cyber Security
In Today’s Modern World, Cybersecurity Is Not Optional.
Cyber threats don’t care about your size, industry, or good intentions. Whether it’s a phishing email, ransomware attack, or data breach, the risks are real—and growing. At Computer Care, we secure your business with layered protection that keeps your systems safe, your people informed, and your reputation intact.
Your Challenges
Staying Ahead of Every Risk
As a business owner, understanding how to address the risks to your business of the modern world is key to protecting your investment.
Cybersecurity is a complex subject with multiple disciplines depending on several factors. Understanding how much your organisation should be spending on its cybersecurity budget can be a challenge.
There are lots of standards that you can follow, frameworks you can implement and costs you need to absorb.
Do any of these points below resonate with you?
Unclear where to start or how much to spend
Many SMBs struggle to know what a reasonable cybersecurity budget looks like or which areas deserve investment? Does cybersecurity just detract from the bottom line of your business, making you personally liable for something completely outside of your control?
Fear of risk and personal liability
Business owners worry about being held responsible for breaches or incidents beyond their control.
Confusing options and mixed messages
With so many frameworks, standards, and vendors, it’s hard to tell what’s essential or if one solution is better than another. What are the key factors to consider? Is it best to buy from the vendor directly? Are all cybersecurity solutions the same?
Hard to find affordable, fit-for-purpose protection
It’s challenging to balance cost, coverage, and confidence that your business is properly protected.
Budget constraints and cost concerns
Cybersecurity often feels like another expense competing with other business priorities, with unclear return on investment.
Getting your business protected by a fit for purpose cybersecurity solution on tight budget can be a real challenge.
Follow our guide below to understand what areas of your business need to be covered and how to ensure they are covered.
“If you’re like me, your business is your biggest investment, in both time and money. You may have spent years of your life building a great company, employing people and serving your customers. That investment is now under threat, so like any investment where the risk becomes higher than the reward, you should de-risk. With your business, your greatest threat is now a cyber security breach, your loss of income, good-will and ultimately value in your business is significant. It’s in fact so bad that a third of all business your size, who suffer a cyber-attack close within 12 months.
I believe the best way to mitigate this risk is to have a joined-up service, one that addresses not only the potential threats but also does something about them.”
Simon Pardo, CEO

Small Risks, Big Consequences
Cybersecurity is often seen as just a cost, a direct drop in productivity, something you know you have to do but can you hold off for a bit longer? I mean are businesses like yours really a target anyway? Surely these criminals are just on the lookout for big businesses with big payouts right?
Here are a few common misconceptions around cyber risks and small businesses:
"We're too small to be a target"
Hackers only go after the big players, right? In reality, smaller businesses are easier targets because they have fewer defences and less time to detect an attack. Big businesses have big budgets to spend on protecting themselves; cybersecurity experts and established processes and frameworks like NIST and ISO27001 to guide them.
“We’d know if something happened.”
Many breaches go unnoticed for weeks, giving the hacker time to understand, plan and exfiltrate your data and destroy your backups. All it takes is one employee clicking a link or a single compromised email account to open the door.
"Cybersecurity is just a cost.”
It’s easy to see it as money out the door, until you realise how quickly one incident can drain profits, reputation, and time.
“That kind of thing doesn’t happen to businesses like ours.”
It’s challenging to balance cost, coverage, and confidence that your business is properly protected.
“These attacks are complex — they wouldn’t bother with us.”
Modern tools make cybercrime cheap and automated. Criminals can launch mass phishing attacks in minutes with little to no effort.

Next Steps – Managing Business Risk
Threat Posture Assessment
How you can begin to address the root of the problem, is to start looking at your company’s cybersecurity posture. This process requires some time investment from you and your senior management team. You will need to underhand the process for determining your posture as well as beginning to see where and how to improve it.
To help you we have produced a guide on how to do this. All we ask is for your email address so we can send you a copy and maybe communicate with you once in a while.
