Risk Assessments: Your Business’s Pitstop for Growth and Security
Just like an F1 racecar making a mandatory pit stop to check for wear and tear, your business should carry out regular risk assessments to stay ahead of the competition. Proactively assessing risks is not merely a compliance checkbox but a strategic imperative to fuel business growth and strengthen security. It helps businesses like yours create a safer work environment, reduce costly incidents and increase efficiency. And this, in turn, solidifies your company’s reputation as a responsible industry leader.

Common Risk Assessment Myths That Every Business Owner Should Know
Many business owners believe they are too small to be targeted, that risk assessments are too expensive or that antivirus software is enough to protect them. The reality is that cybercriminals often target small businesses. Relying on outdated security practices, such as depending only on an antivirus, can hurt your business. The cost of a data breach far outweighs the cost of an assessment. To secure your business, you need a multi-layered approach. That’s where a partner can help. An experienced IT service provider can secure your business and help you reach your goals.

NATIONAL DAYS

Every day is a holiday and some fun and strange ones are out there. Let's take a look at a few that are coming up this month.

Fun Fact: Did you know that on this day, January 3, 1870, workers began construction on the Brooklyn Bridge in New York?

Typing Day - January 8, 2025

Typing Day, celebrated on January 8 every year, is a significant day, not because it honors an important figure, a landmark historical event, or even the birth of a religious leader, but because it celebrates the ability to type and communicate with one another. Why is typing important, you may ask? Think about it. How did you get here? You went onto your phone, iPad, or computer and typed something into the browser. Now, you’re here, reading about typing. Groundbreaking, isn’t it? But in all seriousness, the incredible leaps we have made in communication and written skill is something to celebrate, which is why World Typing Day is such a great way to remember the past, honor the present, and marvel at the future.

Printing Ink Day - January 14, 2025

Printing Ink Day is celebrated annually on the closest Tuesday to January 16, since 1977. It is a day we can all come together to remember one of our most essential office tools. We get to know what inks are made of, where they come from, and what they are used for.

Ink is generally a colorant, such as a pigment or dye used to deliver color to a surface like paper.

Back in the day, there were no printers or ball pens to take notes so people used materials like colored vegetables or blood of fish amongst others. Imagine having to kill a fish every time you needed to send a note to a friend. This could take the fun out of it.

Wikipedia Day - January 15, 2025

Wikipedia Day on January 15 is an occasion that celebrates the birth and formation of the site. Almost every single person in the world knows what Wikipedia is. When we search for something, a Wikipedia link is the first thing that pops up on our search engines. It is also a popular site since it provides in-depth information and presents everything in a user-friendly way. So without further ado, let’s dedicate this day to the information provider that has been feeding us with knowledge since day one. Happy Wikipedia Day!

Data Privacy Day - January 28, 2025

As the line between our offline and online lives continues to blur, Data Privacy Day on January 28 is the little nudge we need at the beginning of each new year to make safeguarding our personal information a priority. Although we live in an increasingly digital world, most of us give little thought to data privacy until after our personal data has been compromised. Our increased reliance on digital technologies to manage every facet of life necessitates the need to rethink what we share about ourselves, when and where we share it, and who we are sharing it with. Data Privacy Day is part of the global online safety, security, and privacy campaign called ‘STOP. THINK. CONNECT.’, — an initiative of the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA).
