The new year is a great opportunity to analyze the state of your company’s security and prepare it for potential threats. Reducing risks in the cybersecurity and compliance management areas is key when it comes to protecting personal data, trade secrets and legally protected information. Here are some tips to help you effectively keep your company secure in the coming months.
Conduct a security review
Conducting regular security audits is the first step to identify weaknesses in your company’s security systems. As part of the audit, it’s a good idea to check:
- IT security: Check application and network layer security to minimize the risk of cyber attacks.
- Incident response procedures: Assess how ready your company is for upcoming risks of information security and business continuity breaches. Prepare procedures to respond quickly and effectively to incidents.
Risk management – Anticipating and minimizing risks
Regular monitoring of risks, both internal and external, will help prevent serious problems in the future. It is worth focusing on:
- Identifying technology risks: Pay attention to cybersecurity risks, such as ransomware attacks, phishing and data theft.
- Managing legal risks: Stay abreast of applicable laws, especially data privacy, e-commerce or industry regulations, to avoid fines and penalties.
Data protection – Ensure information security
Data security is not only a matter of protecting against cyber-attacks, but also of ensuring regulatory compliance. Data security should include:
- Data encryption: Using strong data encryption methods helps protect information from unauthorized access, both during transmission and storage.
- Data access protection: Implementing procedures to manage access to systems, applications and databases will help prevent unauthorized access and loss of sensitive information.
- Backup: Regular data backups are a key element in safeguarding a company against data loss due to failures or cyber attacks.
- Testing: regular testing to identify vulnerabilities in the software and infrastructure in use helps minimize the risk of attack.
Training and raising employee awareness
Even the best technical safeguards will not provide full protection if employees are not aware of the risks. Security training is an important element in building a safety culture within a company. An important area of training is:
- Cybersecurity: Employees should be educated about threats such as phishing, malware, ransomware and other cyber attacks, as well as the principles of safe use of company devices.

Physical security – Key actions to protect your company
Ensuring a company’s technical security is a priority today, especially in the context of the growing threats of unauthorized access to information or breaches of confidentiality. When protecting your company, it makes sense to focus on measures that minimize the risk of data leakage and strengthen physical and information security.
Detecting wiretaps, hidden cameras and GPS locators
The use of unauthorized spy devices, such as wiretaps, hidden cameras and GPS locators, is becoming an increasingly common practice to gain sensitive information. Therefore:
- Regular counter-surveillance checks are a key part of protecting company secrets.
- Our advanced technologies and experience allow us to effectively detect hidden devices in offices, conference rooms, company vehicles and other spaces.
- These measures help prevent industrial espionage and protect the company from unfair competition.
Penetration tests of offices and industrial facilities
Penetration tests are simulated attacks designed to identify weaknesses in a company’s physical and technical security.
- Vulnerability testing: Doors, windows, alarm systems and other physical security features are evaluated.
- IT security testing: Activities include checking the security of Wi-Fi networks, server-network infrastructure, as well as performing social-technical tests that combine the assessment of procedural, personal and those related to the technical layer vulnerabilities.
- Evaluation of internal procedures: We verify how employees handle incidents, such as attempted unauthorized access to premises or data.
The result of the tests is a detailed report with recommendations for strengthening security and eliminating detected vulnerabilities.
Enterprise security assessment
A security audit is a comprehensive approach to assessing a company’s current state of security, covering both technical and organizational aspects.
- Identification of risks: Analysis of possible threats, such as data theft, cyber-attacks or physical security breaches.
- Regulatory compliance assessment: Checking whether the company complies with requirements related to data protection (RODO) and other legal regulations.
- Recommendations: Suggestions for changes in procedures, implementation of additional safeguards and training for employees.
Why invest in technical security?
- Protection against losses: By detecting and eliminating hidden threats, you can avoid potential financial and reputational losses.
- Building trust: Customers and business partners value companies that care about information security and confidentiality.
- Preventing incidents: Regular audits and tests minimize the risk of serious problems that can affect business operations.

Company security is an investment that protects not only your assets, but also your reputation and customer trust. Making sure you have the right safeguards in place, managing risks, and raising employee awareness are all key components of effective protection against threats.
