Here’s the honest answer:
If you haven’t made any major changes in the last couple of years… you’re probably due.

Cyber threats have changed. Fast.
The problem is, most small and mid-sized firms are still protecting themselves like it’s 2018.

I’ve seen it over and over:
Strong firms with great people—but security tools and practices that just haven’t kept up.

So how do you know it’s time for a serious look under the hood?
Here are five signs I see often in growing firms 👇

🔐 1. You’re still using the same tools from 2–3 years ago

If your firewall, antivirus, or endpoint protection hasn’t had a meaningful upgrade lately, that’s not a good sign.
Cybersecurity isn’t “set and forget.”
Threats evolve. Your defenses have to evolve too.

📉 2. You’ve had a few “weird” incidents lately

A suspicious login attempt. A strange email someone clicked. A malware scan that flagged something odd.
None of it seemed urgent… so it got brushed aside.
But often, those little moments are tests—probes before a larger attack.

Ignore them, and you’re playing defense without a playbook.

👨‍💻 3. Your team isn’t trained in cyber hygiene

If staff can’t spot a phishing attempt or are reusing weak passwords, your biggest vulnerability isn’t your tech—it’s your people.
Training isn’t a luxury. It’s part of the modern security stack.

🌐 4. You’ve grown—or moved to the cloud—but security didn’t follow

You’ve added staff. Switched to remote tools. Started using new cloud platforms.
Great for flexibility and productivity.
But if security didn’t evolve with that growth, you may have outgrown your current protections without realizing it.

🧯 5. Your IT team is constantly reacting instead of preventing

If your internal IT or provider is always putting out fires, that’s a signal that something upstream isn’t working.
Cybersecurity should feel calm, proactive, and under control—not chaotic.
