Signs it’s time for your business to hire an MSP

Managing a business is all about resource allocation. And while not every firm needs IT resources—such as that humble lemonade stand a few blocks from your house—many small- to medium-sized businesses could grow immensely if only they had the right information technology and managed IT services provider (MSP) at their disposal.

Here’s how to guard your small business against online fraud

Online fraud is an umbrella term that refers to the schemes cybercriminals use to steal sensitive data such as personally identifiable information (PII), which enable them to commit identity theft and other crimes. According to the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, fraud cost companies worldwide an average of $8,300 a month in 2020.

Alarmingly, 48% of small businesses in Canada and the United States still believe that they are not big enough organizations to be targeted by fraud; hence, they don’t enforce proper safeguards against it.

Why changing MSPs is not as hard as you think it is

Not all managed IT services providers (MSPs) in Toronto are created equal. Some specialize in a local area or particular industry, whereas others have more infrastructural and human resources at their disposal. The purpose of managed IT services for SMBs is to help small- to medium-sized businesses leverage IT to grow, so if a provider fails to meet this purpose, you have to find another MSP that’s better suited to fulfill your requirements.
