Why SMBs want a grip on IT – without the hassle
As an SME, your main concern is your business, your customers and your employees. But in practice, you probably notice it too: IT and information security unwittingly gobble up more and more time and attention. Especially with the NIS2 legislation approaching, digital security is no longer something for “later,” but a necessity.
Recognized pain points at SMEs
🔐 Files everywhere and nowhere
Files float between OneDrive, USB sticks and mailboxes. Consequence: you no longer know what the latest version is or who has access.
📶 Slow or lost connection
You want to start a Teams meeting, but your WiFi lets you down. Precious time is lost.
👀 Invisible access to your data
Who actually has access to your SharePoint or other corporate data? Without a good overview, it’s hard to keep a grip on your information security.
📂 No backup or contingency plan
When something goes wrong – a hack, a power outage – you often only find out that there is no current backup. Then the damage is already done.
📞 IT partner slow to respond
You need help, but your IT partner is procrastinating. Meanwhile, your work grinds to a halt.
The impact of these pain points
❗ Waste of time
Searching every time for the right document or figuring out who can access it takes time. Time you’d rather put into your customers.
❗ Unnecessary risks
Overly broad access means greater risk of data breaches and errors.
❗ Unrest in your team
Uncertainty about how things are arranged creates frustration and stress for employees.
The need: grip without fuss
We notice it more and more: companies don’t just want a good IT partner, but real control over their digital security. Everything must be well organized:
✅ Governance and policies that really work
✅ Zero Trust: you decide who has access
✅ 24/7 monitoring by a SOC team
✅ Everything set up with laws and regulations in mind (such as NIS2)
And all without loose ends or hassles.
