Exposing the Crisis: Small Businesses as the Most Exploited Target
---

Small businesses have become primary targets for automated and financially motivated threat actors. According to Hiscox’s Cyber Readiness Report, 80% of small businesses suffered at least one cyberattack in 2025, while data from the Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) indicates that small and medium-sized organizations experience approximately 4 times more confirmed data breaches than large enterprises.

Furthermore, research compiled by StrongDM and VikingCloud reveals that 47% of businesses with fewer than 50 employees allocate $0 to cybersecurity, despite system downtime costing small businesses an average of $53,000 per hour and 40% reporting that a $100,000 attack would force them to shut down.

The Most Affordable, Accessible, and Adaptable GRC Solution

While legacy compliance platforms remain cost-prohibitive for growing companies, Cyrus Cybersmith is poised to be the most affordable, accessible, and adaptable SaaS solution in the market:

• Human-in-the-Loop Governance: Built on a machine fast, human decides philosophy, Cyrus Cybersmith pairs high-speed AI automation with mandatory expert validation and on-demand vCISO guidance.

• Multi-Framework & Privacy Engine: Cross-maps 1,000+ controls across 400+ local & global frameworks (including SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS) alongside automated tracking for active US state privacy laws, eliminating audit fatigue.

• Financial Risk Quantification: Converts technical vulnerabilities into real-dollar Annualized Loss Expectancy (ALE) figures for executive boards using 10,000-iteration Monte Carlo financial simulations.

• Flexible Coexistence or Standalone Program: Operates seamlessly as an AI-native risk layer over existing tools like Vanta, Drata, or OneTrust to unify risk registers, or functions as a complete out-of-the-box standalone security program for first-time buyers.

"We engineered Cyrus Cybersmith to democratize cybersecurity and compliance. By combining continuous AI telemetry with expert human validation, we give startups and SMEs board-ready risk visibility and audit readiness at a rate any small business can afford."
