Quick Overview

Understanding why security is needed is the first step to better securing your business and data. For a small business, a breach in data security can result in serious financial consequences. Being aware of the potential security risks helps you minimize your risks and leads you to take proactive steps to solve the potential problems. The Security Squad Video Series was produced to help the small business owner formulate a plan of action to address security concerns. The videos and supplemental workbook activities will help address areas that affect the security of your business and customer information.

Whether you are a one-person business or have multiple employees, understanding why there should be concern about computer and data security, recognizing the threats, and deciding who should be involved in the development of your security plan can determine how successfully the plan will be implemented and maintained. Covered in two four-topic parts, the Security Squad Video Series of nine videos was developed to address the main areas of equipment and data security. The goal of the security plan is not to completely eliminate all risks at whatever cost, but to develop a system that helps to minimize the risks and potential losses to the company and its employees.
