Municipalities are being audited … but what about your business?

Fair is fair: do you recognize this?

Many SMBs work with sensitive customer and employee data on a daily basis, but real oversight … is often lacking. Do you recognize any of these situations?

❌ You don’t know who all has access to customer or employee data
❌ The privacy statement was once copied from another company
❌ No one really feels responsible for data protection
❌ Customer data is kept for years … for no reason
❌ Updates are not installed right away
❌ Network access is not properly protected
❌ No one checks to see if former colleagues still have access to old data or tools
❌ Antivirus is running … we hope

Yet you work with personal data. And in the event of a data breach or complaint? Then the ball is in your court as a company. 📌

 

Privacy rules apply to you, too

You don’t have to be a municipality to be covered by the AVG or NIS2. Your SME also needs to protect personal data – in a simple, practical way. But how do you do that without extra hassle?

In our poll, we asked entrepreneurs what they recognize most²:

📊 What does one recognize the most?

• Data kept too long – 50%

• Access is unclear – 28%

• Updates lag – 17%

• Antivirus? No idea – 6%

In short: the sense of control is lacking.

 

How do you tackle this?

You don’t have to make it complicated. With the right approach, you can:

• Automatically clean up old data

• Set and control access properly

• Controlling updates and security centrally

• Gain insight into who is doing what with your data

👉 And that can be done without thick manuals or extra workload. Just: simply arranged.

Recognizable?
