Show Your Business Some Love: How Circle Twice Protects You from Cyber Threats

Valentine’s Day is a great reminder to protect what matters most—including your business. At Circle Twice, that means safeguarding you from the ever-growing risks of cyberattacks, data breaches, and online scams.  Cybercriminals are always looking for ways to exploit vulnerabilities, whether through phishing emails, weak passwords, or outdated security protocols. That’s why we take a proactive approach to cybersecurity, ensuring that our customers are protected before threats even reach them. 

Why Circle Twice Takes Security Seriously 

As your trusted IT partner, we implement key security measures behind the scenes so you can focus on running your business. Here’s how we keep your company safe—and why these protections matter: 

1. We Require Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) – Here’s Why 

If you’ve ever been frustrated by having to enter a verification code when logging into your accounts, there’s a good reason for it. MFA blocks 99% of automated cyberattacks. Even if a hacker gets hold of your password, they can’t get in without your second form of verification. That’s why we enforce MFA across your business systems, and we recommend enabling it on your personal accounts (banking, email, social media) to protect your personal data. 

2. We Encrypt Your Data – So Hackers Can’t Use It 

Data encryption ensures that even if cybercriminals somehow intercept your files, they can’t read or use them without the proper credentials. We encrypt sensitive business information at rest and in transit, keeping your financial data, customer records, and proprietary information secure. 

3. We Secure Your Business Devices – Even When You’re Remote 

Cyber threats don’t stop when you leave the office. That’s why we keep your business devices updated, patched, and protected from malware—whether your team is in the office or working remotely. If you use personal devices for work, we recommend installing security updates regularly and avoiding public Wi-Fi for sensitive transactions. 

4. We Train Your Team to Spot Scams – So They Don’t Take the Bait 

Phishing attacks remain the #1 way hackers gain access to business systems. That’s why we conduct ongoing cybersecurity awareness training for our clients, ensuring employees recognize and avoid phishing emails, fraudulent links, and impersonation scams. 

What Can You Do Next? 

Your business security is our priority—but cybersecurity is a shared responsibility. Here are some additional tips that will help your company and your employees personally:
