Everything You Need to Know About the Periculus Cybersecurity Assessment for SMBs

In today’s interconnected world, cyber threats aren’t just a worry for large enterprises. Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are increasingly targeted by cybercriminals, who exploit the often-limited resources these businesses have for digital protection. At Periculus, we’ve developed a solution designed specifically to help SMBs defend against these risks. Our Cybersecurity Assessment, powered by Mastercard’s Cyber Quant, offers a fast, affordable, and comprehensive way for businesses to understand, mitigate, and transfer their cyber risk. Here’s what you can expect when signing up for our assessment and why it’s a critical tool for your organization.

Understanding Periculus: Simplifying Cybersecurity for SMBs

Periculus’ mission is to make cybersecurity accessible and actionable for SMBs that may lack the budget or dedicated staff for comprehensive security programs. Our platform does more than identify risks; it provides an integrated solution for quantifying, mitigating, and managing cyber threats. Through a straightforward process, Periculus empowers business owners to grasp their cyber risk exposure, address critical vulnerabilities, and secure cyber insurance tailored to their unique needs—all in one place.

What to Expect from the Cybersecurity Assessment

Our quick Cybersecurity Assessment uses advanced analytics from Cyber Quant to evaluate a business’s unique cyber risk profile. By answering a series of targeted questions, SMBs receive a “cyber risk signature,” which our platform analyzes against the latest global cyber threat data. The result? A clear picture of the most significant threats facing your business.

With the assessment completed, you’ll receive:

1. A Risk Score: This quantifies the potential financial impact of a cyber incident on your business, helping you understand your exposure in real-dollar terms.
2. A Remediation Plan: Our platform provides tailored recommendations for addressing specific vulnerabilities and minimizing risk. These actionable insights cover everything from safeguarding sensitive data to enhancing network security.
3. Instant Cyber Insurance Quote: Using your risk score, we offer customized insurance options specifically for SMBs, allowing you to transfer the residual risk that remains after mitigation.

Why This Matters: Securing Your Business in a Digital Landscape

Small businesses often skip cyber insurance, assuming they’re too small to be a target. However, the reality is that cybercriminals know SMBs generally have fewer defenses, making them prime targets. For SMBs, a cyber liability insurance policy offers essential protections, covering costs for notifying affected parties, investigating and fixing vulnerabilities, credit monitoring, and even lost business opportunities. This safety net can be the difference between business continuity and closure after a significant cyber incident.

Why Choose Periculus?

Our approach is unique in the market, bringing enterprise-level technology to the SMB space in a way that’s affordable and easy to access. Here’s what sets us apart:

1. Tailored for SMBs: Unlike other providers, Periculus offers cyber insurance packages specifically sized for SMB needs, often at a lower threshold than the $1 million minimum many insurers require.
2. Powered by Cyber Quant: Backed by Mastercard, Cyber Quant has been recognized as a leader in cyber risk quantification by Forrester, making our assessment both credible and highly effective.
