Webinar: Data Security for Small Business Owners

Is my small business at risk for a data breach?

Despite what you may see in the news, data breaches are no longer a concern limited to large businesses. Many companies keep sensitive personal information about customers or employees in their files or on their network. Further, in a technological age where interconnection is both common and crucial for communicating between businesses, many companies are granting access across business systems in order to facilitate partnerships and business-to-business transactions.

Customers and employees expect that every business — large or small — that collects their personal information will protect it. Further, companies granting your business access to systems containing the personal information of their customers or employees expect that you have the means to protect the information.

How do you protect your company from a data breach? How do you mitigate privacy risk in business to business transactions? What should you do if a data breach occurs? Join us for this informative webinar on Tuesday Sept. 29, from 10 to 11:30 a.m.to learn how to protect your company.

Topics addressed in this presentation that will help you evaluate your risk and respond to a breach incident include:

  • Evaluating data security
  • Drafting and implementing privacy policies and procedures
  • Mitigating risk through contracts
  • Your responsibility if a breach occurs
  • Resources available to you and your customers after a breach
  • Preventing identity theft after a breach
