The positive impact of consumer privacy legislation on small businesses

Small businesses have been told to fear consumer privacy laws but the reality is almost the opposite.

This whitepaper explains why most small businesses are exempt from the legislation's requirements, how the laws reduce the phishing and ransomware risks that hit smaller companies hardest, and why supporting data privacy is good for customer trust and retention.

What's inside...

• Why most small businesses would be exempt from consumer privacy legislation and who the laws actually target

• How large-scale data collection by corporations disproportionately exposes small businesses to phishing, ransomware, and identity theft

• Why nearly half of all cyberattacks target small businesses, and how AI is making those attacks harder to detect

• What 69% of consumers say they'll do if they disagree with a business's data privacy terms and what that means for retention

• How reducing accessible personal data on business owners and employees makes your organization a harder target
