SME risk management: cyber risks & resilience checklist
IP protection
ENGLISH
Cyber incidents can have a significant impact on a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME)'s ability to do business and cause major financial loss. It is crucial that SMEs identify and mitigate those risks in a context where our economies are increasingly digitalised. SMEs’ accountants are their trusted advisors and can play a key role in mitigating SMEs’ cyber risk. The paper includes a checklist for accountants to improve SMEs’ cyber resilience. The checklist can serve as a basis for a discussion or initial assessment of the client’s cyber resilience. Accounting practices themselves can also use this tool to assess their own cyber resilience.
