What Your IT Provider Isn’t Telling You About Cybersecurity
Most IT providers focus on uptime and user support but leave critical cybersecurity gaps unaddressed. Business leaders often assume their systems are secure when, in reality, key protections like threat monitoring, role-based access, and compliance documentation are missing. BITS Cyber fills that gap by delivering business-aligned security strategies that go beyond day-to-day IT support.
Law Firms and HIPAA: Are You a Covered Entity Without Knowing It?
Many law firms unknowingly fall under HIPAA as Business Associates when they handle protected health information (PHI) for healthcare-related clients. This exposure brings legal obligations, including data security, breach notification, and signed Business Associate Agreements. BITS Cyber helps law firms identify risk, secure sensitive data, and meet HIPAA requirements without disrupting legal workflows.
How SMBs Can Use Cybersecurity to Fight AI-Driven Threats
AI has made cyberattacks more targeted, faster, and harder to detect, putting SMBs at greater risk. Common threats include deepfake social engineering, credential stuffing, and cloud misconfigurations, but these can be mitigated with practical controls like MFA, role-based access, and focused training. BITS Cyber helps SMBs build cybersecurity strategies that counter AI threats without adding complexity or unnecessary cost.
How Small Businesses Can Save Money with AI Without Creating New Security Problems

From automating back-office tasks to enhancing IT, customer support, and decision-making, AI can drive measurable ROI without expanding headcount. To avoid introducing new risks, businesses must implement oversight and governance, ensuring that AI tools support growth without compromising security.
