Whether you're already drowning in client cyber security questionnaires or haven't faced one yet, your agency's security posture is becoming a competitive issue—and an opportunity.

In this session, Steve Sharer from RipRap Security explains why digital agencies of all sizes should care about security foundations now. For agencies already facing scrutiny, you'll learn how to turn those exhausting questionnaires into competitive advantages. For growing agencies that haven't hit this wall yet, you'll discover why building these practices early saves you from painful (and expensive) scrambles when larger clients come knocking.

We'll cover why supply chain risk has made your security posture a deal-maker (or breaker) for client contracts, and the low-cost, high-impact security foundations that work for agencies at any stage:

• Access controls and team security hygiene that actually work for lean teams

• Updates and mobile device security without disrupting client work

• Security settings for the tools you already use

• Social media and IT governance that protects your brand and your clients

• How to talk about security in proposals (even if clients haven't asked yet)

Drawing from our work with digital agencies across the Bureau community and beyond, Steve will show you how to implement security practices that protect your team and client data while positioning you for growth. Whether you're pursuing enterprise clients or just want to protect what you've built, these practical steps prove you take business seriously. No enterprise budgets required, no security PhD needed.
