Why Small Businesses Get Targeted (and What to Do) – ShawTech Blog

By ShawTech Team ·

Small businesses are attractive targets because they handle valuable data and payments, often with fewer resources to defend themselves.

Three practical steps

  1. Know your assets. List the systems that keep money and operations flowing (POS, Wi‑Fi, cameras, payroll).
  2. Patch and passwords. Keep software updated and use unique, strong credentials for admins.
  3. Monitor and respond. Use ShawTech’s plain‑English reports to see risks and act quickly.

Security is a process, not a one‑time project. Start small, improve steadily, and measure progress with each report.
