            Regulatory compliance can be a daunting task for small companies for a variety of reasons. For some, it could be that they do not have the necessary staff to commit to such a project. For others, it may be the lack of capital to pay an expensive consultant to do it for them. Another issue that plagues small companies is the lack of knowledge required to navigate the treacherous waters of regulatory compliance. While JustProtect may not be able to provide your company with more employees or extra money, something we can give you is knowledge. And Knowledge is Power.

Before this pandemic, many employees seldom worked outside of the office environment. Therefore, the main focus of InfoSec and Cyber Security was on the organization’s on-site communication infrastructure. The majority of company policies on this subject were centered around internal conduct and practices. That begs the question of whether or not companies were prepared for this unforeseen transition. Chances are that many businesses were caught off-guard by this recent development, and that is why the Information Technology Laboratory released a special bulletin for March 2020 that addresses Security for Enterprise Telework, Remote Access, and Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Solutions. 

During this time of uncertainly we wanted to make sure we added some assistance and relief to an otherwise stressful situation. We're required to embrace this period of adjustment and get used to a new "normal."

This week, JustProtect CEO Vikas Bhatia joined Tampa Bay Wave President & CEO, Linda Olson on Tampa’s Spectrum Bay News 9.

JustProtect was founded in 2017 and has been headquartered in New York City since day one! After 12 years of being in the Big Apple, our CEO & Founder decided to make Tampa, Florida our second home!

Watch our backstory as told by Vikas here:

On July 22, 2019, Equifax agreed to pay around $700 million to settle with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and New York State Department of financial services (DFS) for the 2017 data breach that jeopardized sensitive information from nearly 150 million Americans. This will be the largest settlement ever paid for a data breach, almost twice the cost of the Target Breach in 2013.
