When was the last time you really looked at what’s lurking in your company’s digital closets? If you’re like most small business owners, the answer is probably “I don’t want to think about it.” But here’s the thing: that digital mess isn’t just taking up space. It’s costing you money, slowing you down, and creating security risks you may not even be aware of.

But here’s a reality check that might surprise you: 95% of data breaches in 2024 were tied to human error. The biggest threat to your business is probably sitting at a desk in your office right now.
Shadow IT refers to any hardware, software, or cloud application that employees use without the knowledge or approval of your IT team.
