The Hidden Cost of Insecure Software

Every week brings news of another data breach. Small businesses are often the most vulnerable, with 43% of cyber attacks targeting companies with fewer than 250 employees. The question isn't if you'll be targeted—it's when.

What's Really at Stake

A single data breach can cost a small business an average of $120,000—and that's before counting lost customer trust, legal fees, and regulatory fines. For many businesses, this is an extinction-level event.

Key Security Features to Look For

End-to-End Encryption

Your data should be encrypted both in transit and at rest. Look for 256-bit AES encryption, the same standard used by banks and government agencies.

SOC 2 Compliance

SOC 2 certification means a vendor has been audited by an independent firm and proven they handle your data securely. It's a non-negotiable for any serious business software.

Regular Security Audits

Software should be continuously tested for vulnerabilities. Ask vendors about their penetration testing schedule and how quickly they patch discovered issues.

Role-Based Access Control

Not everyone in your organization needs access to everything. Good software lets you control exactly who can see and modify sensitive information.

At Iris Secure, security isn't an afterthought—it's built into everything we create. Every solution we develop includes 256-bit AES encryption, regular security audits, and compliance with industry standards. Because your business deserves protection you can trust.
