The ROI of Cybersecurity: Why Prevention Pays Off for Financial Advisors

Written by NPC DataGuard | Nov 17, 2025 8:34:40 PM

As a small business, you understand risk better than most. Yet cyber risk remains one of the most underestimated threats to small advisory firms. 

Your business relies on keeping client information secure and compliant. Strong protection maintains client trust, supports regulatory expectations, and keeps your operations running without interruption. A preventive approach delivers the best return because it replaces uncertainty with confidence and control. 

The Real Cost of SME Cyberattack

For small firms, a single privacy breach can create significant financial and operational impacts. The Insurance Bureau of Canada reported that 41 percent of small businesses that experienced a cyberattack faced losses of at least $100,000. 

These losses often include business interruption, recovery work, client loss, legal exposure, and long-term harm to the firm’s stability. Prevention remains the most cost-effective path. 

Prevention: Drives better ROI 

A reliable, secure technology environment is a business advantage. NPC DataGuard strengthens your operations in three important ways: 

  • Reduce downtime and keep your firm running

Our enterprise-level laptops remain protected, compliant, and always up to date. Dual layer AES-256 encryption, biometric login, secure hardware configuration, and automatic security updates work in the background to keep your technology reliable so your team can stay focused on clients.

  • Meet compliance expectations without added work

Our devices are built for the needs of financial advisors. Encrypted storage, secure configurations, controlled access, and automatic updates support the protection required when handling sensitive financial data. You stay compliant without taking extra steps or extra time.  

  • Maintain predictable technology costs 

One monthly fee of $139.95 per user covers your secure devices, protection, and support. You avoid unexpected hardware spending and expensive recovery work. This consistency helps you manage your budget and plan with confidence.
