Learn How To Fasten Your Digital Security

As cyber risks increase across India’s financial ecosystem, the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI)  has made cybersecurity a critical compliance requirement for insurance brokers. Cyber audits are no longer optional or a one-time exercise. They are a mandatory, recurring obligation —and failure to comply can result in penalties, regulatory scrutiny, or even suspension of operations. This blog explains what IRDAI expects , who it applies to , and h

For many small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs), cybersecurity feels overwhelming. There’s constant talk of advanced tools, AI-driven defenses, and enterprise-grade platforms — all of which sound expensive and out of reach. Here’s the truth most SMEs need to hear: Most cyber incidents don’t happen because businesses lack expensive tools. They happen because basic cyber hygiene is missing. The Myth: “Good Security Is Expensive” A common misconception is that strong cybersecu

For years, small and mid-sized businesses believed cybersecurity was optional — something only large enterprises needed to worry about. After all, why would a hacker bother targeting a small business with limited data, limited funds, and limited visibility? But 2025 has changed that thinking entirely. Today, the biggest financial risk many SMEs face isn't adopting cybersecurity. It ’s ignoring it . 1. Cyberattacks Are Cheaper to Launch — and More Expensive to Recover From Mo

Cyber insurance has become essential for businesses of all sizes, especially SMEs that face rising cyberattacks but lack internal security teams. As demand increases, brokers play a critical role  in helping clients secure the right coverage and improve their cyber readiness. But here’s the truth: You don’t need to be a cybersecurity expert to guide clients effectively. What you do  need is a clear understanding of the insurance requirements — and a simple framework to help c

For many years, cyber attacks were seen as a “big company problem.” But today, the reality is very different: small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) are now the number one target for cybercriminals. Why? Because attackers follow the same logic as any business — they go where the opportunity is high, and the resistance is low. This blog breaks down the reasons SMEs are getting hit more often, and how you can protect your business before it becomes a target. 1. SMEs Have Lean

Why a Cyber Audit Is Mandatory (Not Optional) Many businesses believe once they buy cyber insurance, their risk is “covered.” That’s a dangerous assumption. Cyber insurance helps with financial recovery  after an incident — it does not  prevent attacks, fix weak systems, or stop data leaks. Most insurers today will not even issue or renew a policy  unless your business passes a cybersecurity audit. If you rely only on insurance without strengthening security, your claim may b

India has taken a major step in protecting personal data with the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023 . For many small and medium businesses, digitization has become the norm — online sales, apps, digital forms, CRM systems, and marketing automation. But when you collect personal data, you take on a serious responsibility: protecting it and processing it legally . And that responsibility starts with one key pillar: Consent Management Why Should SMEs Care About t

Why Cyber Security Matters for Small Businesses Cyberattacks don’t only target big companies. Startups and SMEs face the same risks — phishing, ransomware, data leaks, and website attacks — but often with fewer resources to recover. Today, cybersecurity is not optional. It’s a core part of business continuity, customer trust, and compliance. Practical, Low-Effort Cybersecurity Steps 1.
