As a cyber security reseller, one of the most common questions we hear, “Is my customer data really protected?” It’s a valid concern, especially in today’s digital age where data breaches seem to be a daily occurrence. We know that the cyber security space is a minefield, how do you know you’re choosing the right solution for your business or organisation?

REPUTABLE COMPANY

First and foremost, it’s important to choose a reputable company, a company that believe in the power of their product or solution. We feel very fortunate at Koncise, as we don’t work with every vendor that comes our way. The integrity and ethos of a vendor and how it operates is very important, as well as the power of the solution they are offering.

REGULAR REVIEWS

It’s also important to review your systems regularly. Cyber criminals are constantly evolving their techniques, so it’s crucial to stay one step ahead. Make sure your software is up to date, speak with your partner to find out if there are developments within your solution and if there is anything new that has come to the market that might benefit your business. Additionally, regularly review and update your security policies to ensure that they are still effective and relevant.

EMPLOYEE TRAINING

Another important aspect of protecting customer data is employee training. Human error is one of the leading causes of data breaches, so it’s crucial that your employees are well trained in data security best practices. Make sure they understand the importance of protecting customer data and the potential consequences of a breach. Regular training sessions can help reinforce these principles and ensure that your employees are always vigilant when it comes to data security.

Finally, if you’re unsure about your cyber security posture, get an assessment of your systems and identify any potential vulnerabilities. A professional assessment can help you identify weak points in your security measures and implement fixes before they are exploited by cyber criminals. Investing in proactive security measures can go a long way in protecting your customer data and maintaining the trust of your customers.

In conclusion, while no system is completely secure, there are steps you can take to protect your customer data. By choosing a reputable company, regularly updating your systems, training your employees, and working with a cyber security expert, you can minimize the risk of a data breach and keep your customer data safe. Remember, data security is an ongoing process, so it’s important to stay vigilant and proactive in protecting your customer data.
