Around 20 years ago, Neal O'Farrell was already helping SMEs think about cybersecurity planning. Two decades later, that point still stands — the biggest risk is often not just the technology, but the habits around it.

Encryption is only as strong as who controls the keys.

Stories like this are a reminder that security isn’t just about turning encryption on—it’s about ownership, control, and trust boundaries.

More and more organisations are starting to ask the harder questions:

Who holds the keys?
Who can access the data?
What happens when legal or third-party access is requested?

This is exactly why solutions that keep data ownership and encryption control in the hands of the business are becoming increasingly important—especially when sharing sensitive documents externally.

Worth thinking about, particularly for organisations handling contracts, financial data, or regulated information.
