CONDUCT CYBERSECURITY AUDITS
CONSIDER CYBER INSURANCE
Evaluate your current cybersecurity measures and work
with professionals to identify any holes in your protection
plans. There are firms that provide small business-friendly
services to help implement cybersecurity solutions without
overwhelming resources.
Although prevention is important, insurance adds a
safety net in the event a cyber attack occurs. Cyber
insurance can help cover recovery costs in the event of a
cyber-attack, data breach, or ransomware incident. There
are many options and policies that can align with your
business size and the digital assets you handle.

Tip:
Set a reminder to conduct an audit
at least once per year, or after any
major software changes. Free audit
checklists are available through
many cybersecurity providers.

STAY SECURE: PROTECT
YOUR SIGN SHOP
Cybersecurity might not be the first thing that comes
to mind when managing your sign shop, but in today’s
digital landscape, it’s essential to long-term success.
From customer billing records and production files
to e-commerce platforms and design assets, the data
your business handles each day is both valuable and
vulnerable. A single security breach can halt operations,
damage client trust, and lead to significant financial
loss. The good news is that there are practical tools and
strategies you can implement without a large budget
or dedicated IT team.
With consistent employee training, updated systems, and
thoughtful safeguards, even small sign shops can build
strong defenses against cyber threats. Cybersecurity is an
investment in the future of your shop. Just as you take
pride in crafting signs and creating a great customer
experience, giving the same attention to your digital
infrastructure helps ensure your business continues to
thrive in an increasingly connected world.
