Echo Hill Security is brought to you by a technologist and a career information security practitioner. It is clear to me that many small business and individuals need information about good security practices that can stop or mitigate risks to their own information and assets. I call these good security practices, or “the basics”. Getting “the basics” right reduces the chance of a significant and costly event. Nothing is 100% guaranteed in the world of security, but taking precautions is a good first step.
Why are good security practices so important? Well, there are many but let’s cover a few:
Benefits for the home:
For the home, basic security to protect your home, passwords, data, etc. reduces the chance of fraud, frees police resources, and provides that peace of mind.
Benefits for the business:
Helps to maintain the reputation and trust – maintaining your reputation and trust is key to any business and by exhibiting strong information security, you can reduce the risk of losing customers.
Helps to mitigate and lessen fines and penalties – fines, penalties, and legal action can be mitigated or lessened if due care is performed constantly.
Helps with retention of revenue and employees – maintaining a strong security posture shows your employees you care about their safety, as well as the safety and security of the business.
By implementing “the basics” for good security, you can represent to your employees, customers, and family that information and asset security is important to you and it shows you are doing your part to keep what’s valuable more secure.
Final thoughts. Individuals, families, businesses, and educational institutions are challenged to effectively protect their assets and data. Armed with the information that is provided by Echo Hill Security, these individuals and entities will be able to better protect their most important assets and information from accidental loss, theft, and acts of nature.
