You think you're secure, until I take a look at your passwords

As a sales consultant with a background in security solutions for SMBs and mid-sized organizations, I’ve walked through a lot of doors. I meet well-structured teams, solid processes, and ambitious strategies.

But there's one critical blind spot I encounter week after week:
weak password practices.


And no — it’s not about bad intentions or lack of competence.
It’s about convenience, time pressure, and lack of visibility.

 

I’ve seen companies managing millions in data, customer information, and operational continuity... all protected by passwords like Welkom2024! or Qwerty123.

 

Over 70% of employees reuse passwords. Nearly 1 in 5 have passwords that are already leaked.
The worst part? Most organizations have no idea.

 

Why this impacts your business too

Whether you're a super user or responsible for IT, you hold the keys. You're responsible for risk, reputation, and continuity.
And I’ll be blunt: if password security isn’t on your radar today, you're already behind.

 

It takes just one compromised password to bring your operation to a standstill.
The damage isn’t just technical — it’s strategic.

 

What I recommend to my clients

I help companies gain real, actionable insight. No 80-page reports, just direct signals:

  • Where are passwords being reused?
  • Which accounts are already exposed — without you knowing it?
  • How many weak passwords are currently in circulation within your organization?
  • And most importantly: what can you fix tomorrow?

 

Security doesn’t start with tools — it starts with leadership

This isn’t just an IT issue. It’s a boardroom issue.
If you're not prioritizing basic security hygiene like password policies, you’re putting your organization — and yourself — at risk.

 

The companies I work with are always glad they didn’t wait for a breach to take action.
