According to a Business Week article last month,

“About 57% of small companies don’t think they need a formal plan to secure their data, and 61% say they never sought information on properly protecting their files, according to a March, 2007, survey by the National Federation of Independent Business and Visa USA.”

If you’re in Ottawa, I’m speaking to small business owners on managing information security risks next week, and I’m told there is still some space. Event information is here.
