Fortify Your Cybersecurity Team with the Right Partner

The challenges and limitations brought by the pandemic have led many businesses to shift to digital platforms and tools in their operations whether it’s to deliver services and products better or enable employees to work remotely. While this presents ample opportunities and possibilities for growth, companies especially small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) should also be wary of the risks that may come with it, mainly the possibility of cybersecurity threats such as data and privacy breach.

Data breaches and cyber attacks can put SMBs in jeopardy. According to Verizon, an estimated 58% of SMBs have become a victim of cyber attacks and these have cost companies an average of over $2.2 million with half going to clean up costs and the rest due to business disruption.

Investing in a good cybersecurity team is one way to address and prevent this risk. However, this can be challenging especially to business owners who are not well-versed with the field and also because of the high costs of hiring specialists in-house. SMBs can instead choose to outsource their cybersecurity needs and enjoy the following advantages.

Cost Effectiveness

Build a team of cybersecurity experts for less the cost without worrying about compromising the quality of service with the right outsourcing partner. Get access to a pool of experienced talents and A+ recruitment process that can have you onboard your new team within 30 to 45 days and save you up to 70% on operational costs. Outsourcing also gives you the freedom to customize a solution that best fits your unique needs and of course, your budget.

In the long run, having an adept cybersecurity team will help you avoid cyber attacks and data breaches on your system that can be costly to fix and repair.

Industry Experience and Up-to-date Knowledge

A good outsourcing IT provider brings years of experience on the job and is knowledgeable on how to handle various cyber threats, malware, and the like that may infiltrate your system. Not only that, it is also updated on the newest trends and tools (e.g. Sysinternals Suite, Recuva, Virtual CloneDrive) in cybersecurity as well as the emerging issues in the field.

With these combined, you are guaranteed that your cybersecurity team can detect and address cybersecurity vulnerabilities and gaps in your system, and prevent cyber attacks from happening.

Internal Information Security Measures

Some of the most common cybersecurity threats involve unauthorized access of sensitive data or information. With the help of your outsourced cybersecurity team, the occurrence of these threats can be mitigated through the implementation of strong security measures that reduce privacy breaches. These security measures can be extended to your company’s data and avoid most of the threats related to cybersecurity.

Choose an outsourcing IT provider that offer comprehensive information security & data protection process and are certified and compliant with ISO 27001:2013 and ISO 9001:2015, General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

>60 Net Promoter Score

The right outsourcing partner has a Net Promoter Score of >60. This score helps businesses gauge the quality service the outsourcing company is offering. In a way, this represents the primary capabilities and expertise they provide to their clients through result-based surveys on how satisfied their clients are with the cybersecurity support services they are receiving from their outsourcing partner. It also showcases how well the outsourcing partner is performing in terms of cybersecurity and the client’s overall experience from their service.

A High Net Promoter Score results in a sense of security and peace of mind for the client from operation excellence and hitting Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) such as Mean Time to Resolve (team’s response to cyberattacks), Mean Time to Detect (how long it takes your team to become aware of cyberattacks) and overall team productivity.

Overall, the right outsourcing partner promises for the following:

Operational excellence
Build a great, high-performing cybersecurity support team specifically designed for your security needs
Operational cost savings of up to 70%
ISO 27001 and 9001 certified, GDPR, HIPAA and DPA20212-compliant
71 Net Promoter Score: Sense of security and peace of mind
