Why you’re better in a contract with your IT company

What happens when your business suffers an IT issue?

Whether it’s suspected malware, a data breach, or a computer that refuses to connect to anything, chances are it’s going to cause you and your team downtime.

And if you only have a break/fix relationship with your provider (that’s where you only call them when there’s a problem), it’s going to mean unexpected costs, lots of waiting, and stress. Plenty of stress.

Secure your data under lock and key

The data in your business is invaluable. Without it you wouldn’t have much of a business left, would you?

So that data must be kept safe… and one of the best ways to do that is to encrypt it.

That way, even if a cyber criminal gets their hands on it, your data is worthless to them.

Our latest guide explains everything you need to know about encryption, and why it’s something you should implement straight away.
