Safeguarding Your Information - Better IT, Systems & Security for Growth
Overview
A practical business community event presented by BizGuard, Ranking Australia, Conetix and CKP Creative
Your business relies on technology every day.
Your website, email, customer data, cloud systems, passwords, marketing platforms and online accounts are all connected. When one part is poorly managed, it can create problems across the entire business.
Safeguarding Your Information brings together four local business specialists to help business owners understand how better IT, stronger systems, smarter security and well-managed marketing can work together.
This is a practical, easy-to-understand session designed for business owners who want to protect their information, reduce risk and build stronger digital foundations for growth.
What You'll Learn
We'll help you answer the important questions you didn't know you needed to ask:
Do you actually own your domain, Google Business Profile and social pages?
What happens if your marketing agency disappears tomorrow?
Are former employees still able to access your systems?
How can you ensure your data is protected?
Is your website adequately protected against attack?
Who in your business is using AI, and are they putting you at risk?
How can you get your IT, website and marketing providers to work together?
And a whole lot more.
You’ll leave with a better understanding of how your business systems connect and where the common gaps can occur.
Agenda
BizGuard: Keeping your data safe in an AI world
