Lupasafe: Inclusive cybersecurity solution specifically designed for small businesses

Cybersecurity is as crucial for small businesses as it is for larger ones. But many small businesses do not yet see it as an urgent priority, especially given their limited time and budgets. Small businesses need to manage significant cyber risks in a way that is simple and straightforward for their small teams, while clearly identifying vulnerabilities across people, technology, and processes. Lupasafe supports them by making cybersecurity effortless, affordable, and feasible with the Lupasafe Cyber Monitor.

The Lupasafe Cyber Monitor leverages AI to equip small businesses with risk insights and a tailored dashboard that enable them to understand, identify, and assess their long-term cyber risks 24/7, 365 days a year. It allows them to scan endpoints, websites, emails, and more. In addition to risks such as invoice fraud, outdated software, and insecure cloud storage, small businesses also face the challenge of employees who are unprepared for phishing and handling sensitive data. Many lack a clear understanding of their vulnerabilities and need tailored, ongoing cybersecurity guidance. Since most cyberattacks begin with phishing, it is crucial to upskill teams to recognize and handle these threats. Awareness, education, and training ensure that all staff can contribute to keeping the business secure.

With the support of Mastercard Strive, Lupasafe will integrate cyber awareness training content for small business employees into its Cyber Monitor platform, equipping small businesses with the skills and resources they need to address their vulnerabilities and digitize safely.

Through its partnership with the UNIZO association in Belgium, Lupasafe will reach and provide small businesses with direct access to the platform, enabling them to receive immediate feedback on mitigating cyber risks. It will further support small businesses to develop compliance with the EU’s NIS2 regulatory framework. As this framework extends to smaller supply chains, businesses that are aware, informed, and in control of their cybersecurity will be better positioned to manage risks and compliance.
