CHARLOTTE, NC: Stevens Technologies, Inc. (STI) announced today that it will extend its service offerings to the small business market through its Security Snapshot Assessment. Since the Queen City-based company was crowned with a $100,000 grand prize for innovative growth from American Express, small businesses have requested information security services from the firm.

“STI is committed to protecting the confidential information of our country’s small businesses. According to Visa, approximately 85% of data breaches occur at the small business level. More alarming is the fact that most small businesses owners have yet to take the appropriate steps to protect their businesses. STI’s quality assurance team has developed an offering that I feel confident meets our standards to serve the unique needs of our small business customers.” -Sarah Stevens, CEO and president

The Snapshot Assessment is a cost-effective service that provides a succinct review of applications, controls, and security policies and procedures already in place; comparing them against industry best practices. STI professionals then recommend initial, high-impact, first-step remediation measures. The Security Snapshot Assessment will be a great value to small business clients, allowing them the opportunity to get an expeditious and high-quality baseline assessment of their security posture.

“As our country shifts Information Security spending away from assessments and toward real information security, we need to efficiently provide small businesses with the information they need to understand and respond to vulnerabilities.” –Sarah Stevens, CEO and President

Better security preparedness has become essential to small organizations as they protect their infrastructure from cyber thieves who aim to steal sensitive information such as consumer information and credit card data and ultimately use this information to gain unauthorized access to our country’s critical resources.

STI is a small business leader providing comprehensive security solutions. Offering a holistic approach to managing Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance (GRC) program, STI works with corporate, academic, federal, and state institutions.
