The last few years have seen countless companies going to a hybrid work model. According to a survey by Envoy over 77% of businesses have some full or part-time remote employees.
While this change comes with many benefits, as a founding or managing partner, there are three big things you need to make sure your employees are doing to keep your firm’s data secure, avoid online scams, and prevent being a victim of a cyber-attack.
If your organization handles sensitive patient information, you need to comply with HIPAA. Failure to do so can result in fines, penalties, and legal fees. Not to mention the bad reputation you'd incur if your patients found out you failed to keep their sensitive health information safe.
Using a cloud server to drive your business’s technology is a smart idea.
The benefits are huge.

Many company executives believe outsourcing cybersecurity is a cost-effective way to address the increase in cyberattacks that started upon the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
