BBB "Cyber-Aware Business" Badge Requirements:

• At the completion of the course, the BBB is piloting a "Cyber-Aware Business" Badge. The badge can only be earned IF:
  
  
  • The business completes the 8-week course
  • The business submits a final Business Risk Assessment Report and a Cyber Implementation Plan
  • The business hires an IT/Cyber Management Solution
  • The business must provide proof they have cyber insurance
  • The IT/Cyber company must check in with the client mid-year and at the end of the year to ensure the SBDC, BBB, and the small business they are still within compliance
    
    

• Once all the above are finalized, the SBDC recommends the business for the badge, and the badge is awarded by the BBB of Southern Colorado, and can be displayed on websites, email, social media and storefronts. (The BBB can provide more of these specifics!)
