It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you'll do things differently.
~ Warren Buffet
Overview
Small and medium-sized businesses are especially easy targets for cyber attacks and largely unaware of compliance penalties. Business owners & management teams should literally take a lesson from the approach of the book Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game. Because of Internet publicity, organizations can no longer ignore cyber attacks and compliance risk.
Resources
In most businesses, employees and owners think of compliance penalties like a traffic fine. However, the true cost of cyber attack and compliance violations is worsened by: lost revenue and productivity, purchase of additional security products and services, lost future income due to negative publicity, and then penalties with on-going audit often required afterward.
Exam
While your competition takes an apathetic or cost-of-doing business approach, the best advice to avoid cyber attacks and compliance penalties is taking a business improvement approach. A regular Cyber Security Exam is cheap insurance and any improvement in business process or security is a differentiator to publicize to customers.
