MANAGING CYBERSECURITY IN THE SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES SECTOR – PERSONAL ASPECTS

Abstract

The area in which business data security is especially important is the area of human resources and customer relationship marketing. The article addresses the issue of assessing the preparation of the Polish SME sector for cyber security in the context of dissemination of digital practices in the processes of transmitting and processing business data and the challenges of the new Data Protection Act (NUODO). It describes gap areas, including – competence gaps in managers and employees in business processes responsible for protection against digital dangers. The proposals recommend the location of systematic protection against digital threats in the area of strategic management and the assignment of operational tasks to personnel departments, not just only technical ones.
