When risk becomes reality – is your business cyber secure?
Are you ready for a situation where everything comes to a halt? Orders, customer service, data access – complete silence. The reason? A ransomware attack, a phishing campaign, or another form of cyberattack. Customers begin to worry, partners lose trust, and your reputation takes a hit. These scenarios are happening more often in Latvia than we might think.
This is the moment when the most important question is: Do we have a cybersecurity partner that protects us?
Cybersecurity – from obligation to strategic advantage
Cybersecurity is no longer just a technical IT issue – it's a critical part of your business that directly affects your trustworthiness, growth potential, and competitiveness.
According to the new NIS2 directive and the Latvian Cybersecurity Law, by this October, more than 1,500 companies will be required to appoint a cybersecurity officer.
This is not a choice – it's a legal obligation.
Not all businesses are currently subject to NIS2 or the Cybersecurity Law. But that doesn't mean cybersecurity isn't also their responsibility.
Even a small company can become a target – often because it's seen as an “easier target.” Clients, partners, and insurers increasingly care about how seriously you take companies IT security.
Those who act proactively – even without legal obligation – gain a significant advantage:
- Greater trust from clients and partners - clients want to feel safe. Companies that can prove their level of protection are more likely to be chosen for cooperation.
- Less stress, more focus on growth - a solid cybersecurity foundation lets you focus on innovation, not fire-fighting.
- Better-prepared employees, fewer mistakes - regular training and clear processes reduce the risk of human error.
- Lower financial and reputational damage - protection today means fewer problems tomorrow.
- Long-term benefits - regulations will change, demands will increase. Companies building a strong foundation today will be one step ahead.
So the question is no longer if cybersecurity matters – but how ready you are right now.
