When you put all your time and effort into building up and working to develop a business or organization, you make an investment of more than money and time. You also put your emotion and passion into what you do. If something bad should happen to the organization that you put so much work into, the results can mean more than just a setback in your career. Ultimately, being proactive to protect your organization from threats is the best route to take, even if you don’t think it is particularly vulnerable at this time.

As your organization or business grows, the likelihood of things like cyberattacks or physical break-ins can become more of an issue. In essence, the more you have to protect, the more important it is to take necessary measures to protect it.

If you are looking for ways you can keep your organization safe, here are three things that you can consider doing right now.

1. Insuring Your Business

First and foremost, any time that you have assets to protect, you need to take the right steps to acquire the proper insurance for those assets. Whether you run a business that stores client information digitally and are in need of cyber insurance, or if you run an educational institution and need to learn more about insurance for academies, the right policy is out there. The right insurance policy will ensure that you are covered in the event of an accident or damage to your property.

2. Put the Right Systems in Place

Being proactive about security is all about putting the right systems in place. Sometimes this means purchasing and implementing software to protect against cyberattacks or security breaches, and other times this means developing a system for how your staff should react in the event of an accident or threat.

When it comes to your digital assets, encryption technology and the right antivirus software are certainly worth considering. However, physical attacks to your property are also something to ward against, especially if you keep money or anything of value at your organization’s physical location. Find the right security system and have CCTV cameras installed so that your physical property can be safe and secure even when you aren’t present at the site.

3. Get Everyone on Board

The fact of the matter is that security for your organization cannot be left up to you alone. While you are in charge of making sure that the right systems are in place, everyone you work with must do their part to ensure the safety of your business.

Employees and volunteers must all be made aware of how important it is to protect things like passwords and access to systems and servers. Even passwords to email addresses need to be regularly updated and kept safe in order to avoid cyberattacks. Make sure that all relevant workers know how to properly use any security systems that you have in place as well.
