There are countless resources for basic training on good employee practices. Having employees

trained and aware of the threats on the internet (and email) is half the battle to keeping your

corporate systems secure.

Employee Awareness & Training


Do you control what employees can do on your computers? You should! Filtering out certain sites and blocking certain types of content can greatly reduce the likelihood that employees are able to

inadvertently introduce viruses and “malware” onto your corporate network.

Website Filtering


Don’t rely on employees to know what is safe or not. Most service providers now offer this for free. By limiting the types of content and attachments which can be sent or received, you can greatly

lower the chances that someone accidentally opens a bad file while at work (or home.)

Email Spam & Filtering


There is no excuse for every PC on your network NOT having AntiVirus and NOT being set to receive automatic updates. Out of date software is one of the most common ways Pcs become infected. If you have employees with laptops this is a must-

have!!

Antivirus & PC Support


For as little as $2,500, you can have a reputable consultant conduct a health check – they review

your systems and documentation and can generally give you an action-plan in as little as a week.

Security Healthcheck


It is good practice to have your drivers or store

managers regularly check the credit card readers, to

make sure no one has tampered with them and that no devices (skimmers*) are

attached either to the outside or inside of your

payment center.*Skimmers are devices used by thieves to intercept card data while it is being swiped

in a legitimate terminal.

Lastly, insurance. Many providers now offer Security breach or insurance coverage as a rider to your

existing liability policy. Breaches not only cost you money in lost revenue and customers but can cost

enormous sums to clean up. Talk to your agent regarding options, as a small breach can easily cost

$50,000 to remediate.
