What is an SMB?

Our team assists Small to Medium-Sized Business (SMB) clients to make improvements to their resilience to security incidents, and proactively improve their cybersecurity posture for insurability. SMBs have different levels of awareness; some are well on their path towards preventing a breach, while others suffer from apathy, overconfidence or denial. Many simply do not yet know where to start.

A cybersecurity Digital Divide separates the technology “Haves” (organizations with mature policies, processes and assets) and the Have-Nots (companies that have not begun to protect themselves in a measurable way.) We will help you bridge the gap and get themselves started on the journey!

More on SMBs

There are 30+ million small businesses in the United States alone, comprising 98.7% of all businesses. They create two-thirds of net new jobs and drive U.S. innovation and competitiveness. Recent reports shows that they account for 44 percent of U.S. economic activity.

Many cybersecurity companies and solution vendors lack focus on SMBs. They’re busy selling complex “big-tech” solutions on the other side of the divide, where the technology “Haves” make big investments for endless point solutions of every kind.

In a recent Cisco SMB Cybersecurity Report, the company defined an SMB as “organizations with 250-499 employees” leaving a massive amount of true SMBs outside of their consideration.

THIS overlooked space (0-250 employees) is the underserved market where TEKRiSQ is most effective. The SMBs often outsource IT, do not have CISO‘s, security products or well defined procedures for dealing with these risks. We help them move their business forward and avoid costly risk, and even insure them against loss.
