Information is a valuable asset of your business.
The loss or damage of any piece of information
can cost you a huge amount in terms of money or
business reputation. For instance, any leak of
customer personal data resulting in unauthorised
use by a third party might lead to loss of business
and more seriously, could lead to legal action
against you.
In today's intensely competitive business environment,
the success of a business relies greatly on the
trust of customers. The trustworthiness of a company
increases the competitive advantage of the business
and enables it to thrive. How does a business
earn trust from customers? One of the critical
factors is the ability to protect customer information,
i.e., the strength of business information
security.
In this corner, we highlight some important areas
of concern for SME operators and provide a set
of industrial and technical guidelines to help
build a trustworthy and information secure company.
