Cybersecurity in Your Business: How Do You Know If You’re Winning If You’re Not Keeping Score?

Cybercrime Is a Business Issue — And It’s Growing

By the end of 2025, cybercrime is projected to cost the global economy $10 trillion annually.* These are not just enterprise-scale attacks , they include small and mid-sized businesses are increasingly targeted because of their lack of preparedness.

Yet despite this, many organisations don’t track their cybersecurity posture. No metrics. No KPIs. No early warnings. How do you know if you are improving if you are not keeping score?

Start Treating Cybersecurity Like a Business Function

Cybersecurity should be managed with the same rigor as finance or operations. That means understanding your baseline, measuring your progress, and holding your team accountable.

Here’s what “keeping score” looks like:

Security Posture Assessments:= Identify strengths and risks
Risk Registers:= Track threats and their potential impact
Compliance Monitoring:= Ensure alignment with GDPR, NIS2, and ISO 27001
Response Metrics:= Measure your ability to detect, contain, and recover from threats
Dashboard Reporting:= Visualise key metrics for leadership review

Why Your Organisation is Vulnerable

Even security-conscious companies fall victim to phishing attacks.
Here’s why:

Highly Targeted Attacks – Cybercriminals craft emails and messages that closely resemble legitimate communications, making them hard to detect.
Human Nature – Employees are busy and make split-second decisions that attackers exploit.
Lack of Awareness – Many employees do not recognise phishing attempts or understand their consequences.
Credential Theft – Stolen login credentials allow attackers deeper access into company networks.
