Why Construction Companies Should NOT Neglect Their Cybersecurity

Cyberattacks aren’t just for big businesses. If you think your construction company is safe, think again. Only 20% of attacks target large companies, while 80% target small and medium-sized businesses, which include many construction companies. If you’re unprepared, you’re at the forefront of the risk.

In a cyberattack, hackers don’t just seek access to your data. They aim to enslave your business, destroying critical files and backups completely. Think about what could happen if your construction plans, contracts, or financial data were destroyed or stolen.

Their goal is usually financial extortion, and the consequences can be devastating. Many construction companies have not taken the necessary cybersecurity measures, which can lead to lost customers, fines, or even serious legal consequences.

The following TicTac Cyber ​​Security recommendations fill this gap, offering the protection you need to ensure the continuation of your business without risks..

Don’t leave anything to chance.

1. SUGGESTIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION COMPANIES

1. Protection from Cyber ​​Attacks – Construction Cyber ​​Angel with Wiser

The Construction Provider Cyber ​​Angel subscription program offers basic device protection services through the EDR (Endpoint Detection & Response) system with human supervision at a very preferential price.

The difference between an EDR service and a simple Antivirus is that EDR, in addition to basic antivirus functions, offers advanced protection and monitoring tools from specialized cybersecurity engineers. One of the most significant problems construction companies face with traditional antivirus is that hackers can bypass it, leaving critical data, such as project plans, budgets, and subcontractor data, vulnerable.

To further enhance protection, TicTac’s Wiser platform offers online cybersecurity training for all employees of the construction company. Using modern software with animation videos and automated Phishing Tests, the understanding of the basic principles of cybersecurity is ensured, while Reporting and Certification are also provided, enhancing the knowledge and preparedness of your staff against cyber threats.

2. Backup & Disaster Recovery – Construction Provider Business Continuity

The backup systems used in most small and medium-sized businesses today are not sufficient to protect construction companies against cyberattacks. Many construction companies do not have standardized backup procedures, and their backups are often not monitored.

In the past, using an external drive or NAS Storage to store a business’s backups may have been enough to protect against natural disasters or human error. However, today, cyberattacks have changed the landscape. In 95% of cases, hackers first destroy backups before attacking the underlying data.

TicTac, using Acronis‘ service, offers Cloud or local backups that are resistant to ransomware attacks and encryption.

In the event of a business data disaster, the ability to recover the Server and its data in the Cloud within 30 minutes is provided.

3. Construction Provider Incident Response & Cyber Insurance Retainer

While systems like EDR and Cloud Backup offer significant protection, they cannot prevent all cyberattacks. If a hacker targets your construction company and has enough time, they may be able to penetrate your systems, causing serious problems in your daily operations.

For such cases, TicTac offers the Incident Response & Cyber ​​Insurance Retainer, which provides both insurance coverage for cyber attacks and immediate intervention by cybersecurity experts.

The TicTac team intervenes remotely within 1 hour and with a physical presence within 24 hours to take action in critical situations.

The program also includes insurance coverage up to €1,000,000 for technical and legal services and business interruption costs, offering financial protection to your business in the event of a cyberattack.

4. Cybersecurity Audit and Business Continuity Recovery Plan

This is a series of audits involving a cybersecurity and business continuity audit exercise that is recommended to be carried out once a year in every organization. During this exercise, we discover vulnerabilities in the external and internal perimeters of the organization, as well as the speed or ability to recover from a cyberattack. All protection systems are also checked for their effectiveness.

More specifically, the services provided are the following:

1. External Whitebox Penetration Testing
   After providing us with basic information about your infrastructure (IP addresses), our team will perform a test to determine how easy it is for a third party to penetrate your infrastructure.
2. Risk Assessment
   Our team will review your backup practices, disaster recovery time, and endpoint policies, and recommend improvement steps. We will also review the existence of logs (Firewall, access logs, etc.) and conduct a formal audit to determine if there are any signs of a breach in your organization on your endpoints and servers.
3. Private – Cybersecurity Training for Staff
   In a 4-hour seminar, we train your staff on the new ways that malicious users exploit technology to break into accounts and gain access to corporate or personal data, along with best practices for avoiding them.

5. Firewall & Management

The Firewall is an essential infrastructure control element, as it is the contact between an organization’s internal network and the outside world. It controls what enters and exits our network in terms of connections and data, thus increasing the protection of our network from external malicious users. It also allows us to segment our network so that if a cyberattack occurs, we can limit the damage.

ATTENTION: Many people buy and install a firewall, but no one supervises it. Therefore, it has no meaningful participation in protecting the network.

Mike Smith

Tic Tac Data Recovery provided a very good and professional service. The damaged hard drive was given to two specialists data recovery companies in the UK who could not recover any data. (Note: these two UK companies carry out both forensic and security work)

Well done Tic Tac for a good job!

Top-notch professionals, guaranteed quality of service… they managed to recover 100% of the files from my Kingston SSD laptop drive. I had lost years’ worth of work documents and all my photos. The drive wasn’t showing up anywhere and my laptop would freeze at startup.

I had taken it to two or three technicians who told me there was no hope of recovery – and that’s when they recommended TicTac. I left the drive with them for diagnosis, and within three days I was fully informed about which files could be recovered. In just 2 days, I had everything back — intact. I’m incredibly grateful…
