DATA SECURITY PLAN (DSP) DEVELOPMENT: ONE AREA OF RELIEF FOR THE SMALL BUSINESS OWNER
One main challenge for small businesses implementing a security program is this: Software companies create standard operating systems for all; often requiring specialized skills to effectively manage tools and system features. Additionally, configuring and managing security controls for an operating system alone is more than a full time job in and of itself. Large companies employ teams of highly skilled employees to support these efforts, and yet, you as a small business owner are also required to configure protection mechanisms that are similarly effective in reducing risks.
Because the small business is utilizing similar types of operating system (and software products) as a large business, the same security questions about how software and systems are managed must be answered, so in the end, you have an upfront cost to invest generous amounts of time in developing security documentation whether you do it yourself or outsource the work.
One area the small business owner can realize time savings in this process is with respect to reduced complexity. Many small businesses designated as a financial institution manage five or fewer IT devices in the daily operations of business, so while the security questions to be answered are the same, you can potentially realize time savings with fewer IT devices, as well as having fewer employees on staff who possess any type of device access.
