In a recent PwC ‘Trust in US Business’ survey, consumers and businesses put protecting data and cybersecurity as their top action to help establish trust. So how can small businesses effectively build and maintain trust?

Build and document a cybersecurity program. But how does it increase trust in your brand?

Sensitive Data Protection

Protecting your customers’ data helps ensure that it isn’t stolen or compromised, eliminating reputation and trust issues. This builds trust with customers and vendors who rely on you to safeguard their sensitive information.

Regulatory Compliance

Pursuing compliance with required mandates demonstrates that you’re a responsible business that takes it’s obligations seriously. Documenting and sharing your compliance status with your customers and supply chain demonstrates that transparency. All this builds trust.

Competitive Advantage

According the recent studies, cybersecurity is important to your prospects and customers. A mature and well documented cybersecurity program differentiates your business from competitors who may not prioritize security the same way.
