Seek Expert Help

If you find the whole IT business a bit too complicated and you don’t have an in-house expert, get yourself an IT business partner (which we discuss more in Chapter 12). Finding someone who’s experienced in business and IT alleviates the stress of maintaining a complicated system and allows you to concentrate on running your business, which can be difficult enough at the best of times.

Talk through with your partner exactly what you need and the level of confidential data that you deal with in your business. The expert can advise you and keep software updated, which is something that can easily slip your mind when you’re busy with other priorities.
