SMB Cyber Risk Statistics
The numbers don't lie

Small Businesses Are Prime Targets

Cybercriminals increasingly focus on small and mid-sized businesses — they hold valuable data but lack enterprise-level defenses. These are the real-world consequences of going unprotected.

Yet less than 14% are prepared to defend themselves

    Why Businesses Put Off Getting Protected

    Most small business owners know cybersecurity matters — but something always gets in the way. These are the six reasons we hear most often, and why every single one of them is costing businesses more than the assessment ever would.

    51%

    of small businesses have no cybersecurity measures in place at all

    Not insufficient protection — none whatsoever (CNBC/SurveyMonkey)

    3.7x

    more expensive to recover from a breach than to prevent one

    The average SMB breach costs $200K+ vs. a fraction for proactive protection

    287

    days on average before a breach is even discovered

    Attackers are already inside most breached networks for nearly a year (IBM)

    We're too busy right now — we'll get to it next quarter.

    Attackers don't wait for a convenient time. Automated scanners probe every internet-connected device around the clock. The average window between a vulnerability being published and it being actively exploited is just 15 days. "Next quarter" is a timeline that threat actors rely on.

    False urgency trade-off

    We can't afford it — cybersecurity is for big companies with big budgets.

    Our free external assessment costs nothing. Zero. No hidden fees, no sales pressure, no commitment. The question isn't whether you can afford an assessment — it's whether you can afford to recover from a breach without ever having had one. At $200K average per incident, the math isn't close.

    Cost misconception

    We're a small business — hackers go after big targets, not us.

    Small businesses are not overlooked — they're preferred. They hold valuable data, process payments, and connect to larger supply chains, all with far fewer defenses than enterprise targets. 43% of all cyberattacks are directed at small businesses specifically because they are easier to compromise, not despite it.

    Target size myth

    We already have antivirus and a firewall — we should be fine.

    Antivirus catches known malware signatures. Firewalls block some inbound traffic. Neither monitors for active intrusions, detects credential theft, finds misconfigured cloud services, or identifies the exposed attack surface your business presents to the outside world. These tools are a foundation — not a security program.

    False sense of security

    I wouldn't know what to do with the results anyway.

    This is exactly why we don't just hand over a technical report and walk away. Our assessment delivers prioritized, plain-language findings alongside a clear remediation roadmap — and our team walks you through every step. You don't need to be a security expert. That's what we're here for.

    Knowledge barrier

    We haven't been hacked yet — so our current setup must be working.

    The average organization goes 287 days before detecting a breach — nearly a year. "We haven't been hacked" frequently means "we haven't discovered we've been hacked yet." Without active monitoring and a baseline assessment, there is simply no way to know. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

    MDR Services
    Is your organization at risk?

    Could You Benefit from MDR Services?

    Managed Detection and Response fills the gap between having security tools and actually being protected. If any of these sound familiar, your organization may be underprotected right now.

    No one is watching your environment after hours.

    Most breaches happen outside business hours. Without 24/7 monitoring, attackers have hours — or days — to move undetected before anyone notices.

    24/7 Coverage Gap

    Your IT team is stretched too thin to investigate alerts.

    Security tools generate thousands of alerts. Without dedicated analysts to triage them, real threats get buried in noise and critical incidents go unactioned.

    Alert Fatigue

    You have antivirus but no real detection or response capability.

    Traditional AV only catches known threats. Modern attacks use fileless malware, credential theft, and living-off-the-land techniques that basic tools completely miss.

    Detection Gap

    You wouldn't know if you were breached right now.

    The average breach goes undetected for over 200 days. Without continuous threat hunting and forensic visibility, you may already be compromised without knowing it.

    Threat Visibility

    Compliance requires proof of monitoring and incident response.

    HIPAA, SOC2, PCI, and cyber insurance frameworks increasingly require documented evidence of active threat monitoring, incident response plans, and audit trails.

    Compliance Risk

    A previous incident left you unsure of your current exposure.

    After a breach, ransomware event, or phishing compromise, organizations often don't know if attackers are still present, what was accessed, or how entry was gained.
