Cybersecurity FAQ | Prosen Consulting

Question 1

Why does my small business need cybersecurity?

Accepted Answer

Small and mid-sized businesses are actually the most common targets for cybercriminals — over 43% of cyberattacks target small businesses. Attackers know that smaller organizations often lack dedicated IT security staff, making them easier to breach. A single attack can result in significant financial loss, regulatory penalties, and lasting damage to your reputation.

Question 2

What are the most common cyber threats businesses face today?

Accepted Answer

The most prevalent threats include ransomware, phishing emails, business email compromise (BEC) scams, malware infections, and insider threats. We assess your specific risk profile and implement defenses tailored to your industry.

Question 3

What is CMMC and does it apply to my business?

Accepted Answer

CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) is a framework required by the U.S. Department of Defense for contractors and subcontractors who handle Federal Contract Information (FCI) or Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). If your business works with the DoD supply chain — directly or indirectly — CMMC compliance may be mandatory.

Question 4

How do you protect sensitive business and customer data?

Accepted Answer

We implement a layered security approach: encrypting data at rest and in transit, enforcing strict access controls, deploying endpoint protection on all devices, and setting up real-time monitoring to detect suspicious activity before it becomes a breach.

Question 5

What does a cybersecurity assessment involve?

Accepted Answer

Our assessment reviews your entire IT environment — networks, endpoints, user accounts, software, and policies. We identify vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and gaps in your current defenses. You receive a clear, prioritized report with actionable recommendations.

Question 6

Do you provide ongoing security monitoring?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Through our Managed IT Services, we provide continuous monitoring of your network and endpoints, alerting on suspicious activity and responding to threats in real time.
