“Rise Above Risk:” What Does It Really Mean to You?

We’re willing to bet it wasn’t. After all, thoughts of digital risk protection can’t really compete with that euphoric rush that accompanies visions of your logo in full color and niche marketplace dominance. No, chances are, in that lightbulb moment, your brain was laser focused on how your customers didn’t know they needed you yet. How your customer service was going to rock their socks off. And how finally, after all these years, you were going to do something you could love on eight hours of sleep – or no sleep at all. 

We get it. That euphoria, that feeling of pure inspiration and vision are critical to starting your own business. But, as essential as those elements are to actually getting your business off the ground, digital risk protection is a key part of keeping your business running. Both are instrumental to your success – but admittedly, digital resilience is a lot less sexy.

That said, spoiler alert: small business owners MUST think about digital risk. But the good news is, you don’t have to do it alone. As small business owners ourselves, we understand the inherent risks of the modern economy; we’ve seen both sides of that coin. Like we tell our customers: you’ve got to understand what could be lurking beyond a URL, because hope is not a strategy. We’ve seen small businesses that started with visions of grandeur, catapulted to success, and then were derailed by common, recurring attacks and hacks. We’re here to make sure that doesn’t happen to you.

With Risk Comes Reward

One of the mantras we have here at Periculus is that on the other side of risk is opportunity.  What does seizing opportunity look like for your business? Maybe it’s the aforementioned marketplace dominance and growth. Perhaps it’s innovation and disruption, leading to major breakthroughs for your business, or even your industry. Go for it! But we want you to go for it with the peace of mind that comes from knowing your business is resilient to digital risk. 

This is why Periculus exists. Our mission is to help businesses grow and innovate by protecting theirbrands, people and profits from digital risk. When, as a small business, you achieve the freedom to be fearless, you are in the position to “Rise Above Risk.” And that’s where the real growth happens.

Bypass Ransomware, Malware and Other Risks

So how do you actually get to that place? Well, our “Pathway to Peace of Mind” is a bridge of sorts, allowing your business to pass over digital risks like phishing scams, malware, ransomware attacks, data breaches, DDoS attacks, and other activity that can knock you off course. 

Periculus is a holistic, one-stop platform that connects you to a suite of tools designed to build a brighter digital future for your business. We’ve created a process that is as easy, intuitive, and transparent as possible, so instead of spending hours upon hours searching for answers and solutions online, you’re doing what you do best: running your business. 

Build Digital Resilience in Minutes

Your journey starts with an assessment that, upon completion, provides you a detailed report of your cyber risk posture and a score. When you get the report, we’ve baked in specific underwriting criteria so that you have enough information to generate an insurance quote from one of our external partners. The best part, though, is our holistic set of digital services, tailored to your unique business needs based on your results. Our services include a wide selection of packages and plans that fit your needs and exposure, so you only end up paying for the services and protection you actually need. (Shoutout to our partners at Merchants.) These services will build your resilience and put you in a space where you can embrace the digital economy and really start chasing after those lofty goals.

The integrated journey of our platform might seem simple, but it’s never been done before. So, just like you, Periculus is carving its own path. 

At the end of the day, we believe that, whether it’s Main Street or Wall Street, your success is our success. There are worlds of opportunity waiting to be unlocked, and with the right set of services, education, and support, we believe our platform will strengthen the global business community – together. Which, for us, makes “Rise Above Risk” more than a slogan.  

It makes it our big business idea.
