Question 1

Do small businesses really need cybersecurity?

Accepted Answer

Yes. 43% of cyberattacks target small businesses, and 60% of small businesses that suffer a breach close within 6 months. Even basic security measures like email authentication, SSL certificates, and security headers can dramatically reduce your risk.

Question 2

How much does cybersecurity cost for a small business?

Accepted Answer

Korynthe starts with a free security scan and offers paid plans from $79/month. Compare that to hiring a full-time CISO ($200k–$400k/year) or a traditional security consultant ($150–$300/hour). Korynthe gives you automated, always-on cybersecurity leadership at a fraction of the cost.

Question 3

What is a vCISO and why do SMBs need one?

Accepted Answer

A virtual CISO provides the strategic cybersecurity leadership of a Chief Information Security Officer without the full-time hire. For small and mid-sized businesses, a vCISO delivers security strategy, compliance guidance, risk management, and incident response planning at a price that makes sense.

Question 4

Can I really start for free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The free scan requires no credit card and no subscription. You verify a work email on the domain first, then get a security health score and high-level findings in under two minutes.
