A single cyberattack can paralyze your operations. But the worst part isn’t the immediate damage—it’s the hidden costs that accumulate over time. And yet, too many SMEs wait until they’re attacked before taking action.
In 2023, 6 out of 10 SMEs in Quebec have already been victims of a cyberattack

As you know, SMEs like yours are prime targets for cybercriminals. This phenomenon is part of the strategic cybersecurity challenges facing Quebec businesses.
And the consequences aren’t limited to restarting servers. We’re talking about significant financial losses, unrecoverable data, and, in some cases, months of business interruption. Let’s look at what a cyberattack could really cost you… and why the worst always costs more than prevention.
The hidden costs of a cyberattack
If you faced a cyber incident tomorrow, would you be able to absorb the costs?
And we’re not just talking about immediate technical expenses. A cyberattack often leads to much broader repercussions at all levels of the business.
What a cyberattack would cost you… based on the size of your business
And that’s just the beginning! These amounts do not include:
- Revenue losses during the interruption
- Your team’s downtime
- Loss of strategic data
- Impact on your reputation
- Costs related to restoring damaged equipment.
- Costs related to non-compliance, particularly with Bill 25
- Reduced productivity or damage to critical equipment
Expenses add up quickly… and can easily jeopardize your company’s financial health.
In light of these impacts, how can you know if your current cybersecurity truly protects you?
