The Real Impact of Poor Cybersecurity
Many small businesses fall into the trap of assuming cyber threats only target large enterprises. In reality, small and midsize companies are prime targets for ransomware, phishing attacks, and data breaches. Without the right cybersecurity partner, your business faces serious consequences.
- A single data breach can cost your business thousands in lost revenue, regulatory penalties, and reputational damage.
- Without real-time threat monitoring, encryption, and access control, your systems remain vulnerable to external attacks.
2. Downtime and Operational Disruption
- If your systems are taken offline due to malware or a ransomware attack, your team could be locked out of mission-critical tools and files for days.
- Every hour of downtime affects customer service, employee productivity, and overall revenue.
3. Compliance Violations and Legal Risks
- Regulations such as FTC Safeguard Rules, HIPAA, and GDPR require specific security controls.
- Failure to meet compliance standards can result in legal action, audits, or steep fines.
4. IT Providers That Fail to Act Proactively
- Many IT service providers offer minimal cybersecurity protection, leaving you vulnerable.
- If your provider doesn't offer transparent reporting, fast response times, and proactive threat prevention, you're being underserved.

Cybersecurity services provide the defense you need to keep your business secure and operational.
What kind of cybersecurity services does Automates offer?

Our team implements secure policies, audit trails, encrypted storage, and risk assessments, making it easier for you to pass inspections and meet the regulatory standards that apply to your industry.
How do I know if my current IT setup is secure?
If your IT provider isn't offering regular security reports, vulnerability scans, or policy updates, your business may be at risk. Automates conducts a comprehensive cybersecurity assessment, identifying gaps in your current setup and providing a roadmap to fix them. We believe in transparency, accountability, and results.
