Frequently Asked Questions
QWhat cybersecurity services do small businesses need?
At minimum, small businesses need endpoint protection, email security, multi-factor authentication, and regular security awareness training. ACS recommends a layered security approach that includes 24/7 monitoring, backup and recovery, and a documented incident response plan — all tailored to your industry and risk profile.
QHow do I know if my business has been hacked?
Signs of a breach include slow systems, unusual account activity, unexpected password resets, strange emails sent from your accounts, or ransomware messages. If you suspect a breach, call ACS immediately at 888-955-5001. We provide incident response services to contain, investigate, and recover from security incidents.
QWhat is the cost of a cybersecurity breach for a small business?
The average cost of a data breach for a small business is over $200,000 — often enough to force closure. Costs include ransom payments, recovery expenses, legal fees, regulatory fines, and lost business. ACS cybersecurity services cost a fraction of breach recovery costs and provide far stronger protection than most small businesses have today.
QDoes my small business need to comply with HIPAA or PCI-DSS?
If you handle protected health information (PHI), you must comply with HIPAA. If you accept credit cards, you must comply with PCI-DSS. ACS helps Minneapolis–St. Paul and Chicago suburb businesses assess their compliance requirements, identify gaps, and implement the controls needed to meet regulatory standards.
QWhat is multi-factor authentication and why does my business need it?
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) requires users to verify their identity with a second factor — like a phone app or SMS code — in addition to their password. MFA blocks over 99% of automated attacks. ACS deploys and manages MFA for all your business accounts as part of our cybersecurity services.
