Is IT Security A Business Problem Or An IT Problem? (2026/696)

Most small business owners file IT security under “IT will handle it” and move on.

But with nearly half of all cyber attacks targeting small businesses, treating security as someone else’s problem is a risk you cannot afford to take.

In this episode, Charly covers:

✅ Why IT security sits alongside building security, insurance and compliance as a core business function
✅ The staggering stat that over 40% of cyber insurance claims are denied because controls were not actually in place
✅ How your security posture directly affects your premiums, coverage terms and claim outcomes
✅ Three practical steps you can take right now: schedule regular reviews, document what is being done and know when to bring in expert help

If you would not leave your premises unlocked overnight, why leave your digital assets unprotected?
