SMEs: How Secure Is Your Data?

Client files, invoices, management software, websites… Today, operating without data is virtually impossible. "They are the lifeblood of any business," explains Martin Péronnet, CEO of Monaco Telecom.

The stakes? An outage, a disaster, or a cyberattack can have immediate, devastating consequences, particularly for small businesses that "have fewer resources to defend themselves than larger corporations."

The solution? Outsourcing IT infrastructure. In other words, hosting applications and data outside the company in purpose-built, highly secure infrastructure, while maintaining seamless day-to-day access.

This is precisely what Monaco Telecom offers through an infrastructure entirely hosted within the Principality and managed by its own teams.

"Data can be duplicated across our three ISO 27001-certified data centers," the operator notes.

"Daily backups ensure that, in the event of a cyberattack or incident, any file can be restored to a specific date." Should a critical incident occur, support can be mobilized within two hours, day or night.

"Our objective is to ensure business continuity for our clients," emphasizes Martin Péronnet.

"By outsourcing their data hosting, companies no longer need to purchase servers, monitor updates, or patch security vulnerabilities themselves."

Furthermore, Monaco Telecom’s cloud solution scales with the company’s actual needs and growth, eliminating the need for constant hardware investments.

"Cloud data hosting is no longer solely a concern for large enterprises. It has become a security imperative that also affects small and medium-sized businesses."

Over 450 Companies Have Already Taken the Leap

But how can a small business transition without in-house IT experts?

Monaco Telecom’s dedicated teams assist companies throughout the migration and provide ongoing infrastructure monitoring, either directly or in collaboration with the client’s usual IT provider.

"Moving to the cloud isn’t a massive hurdle, especially when you can rely on local experts," adds the CEO.

""Upon the opening of the Box 98 complex, we entrusted Monaco Telecom with our telecom and cloud solution. This allows us to focus on our business: our website is hosted in Monaco and fully managed, with Monaco Telecom ensuring everything is up to date and intervening as needed!""

Available from €105 per month, the solution has already attracted over 450 businesses. "And we’re not just targeting geeks!" Martin Péronnet says.

The underlying philosophy is simple: technology should empower business leaders to focus on their core business, not force them to become IT experts.
