Hi everyone, I’m Tiffany Jones reporting live from Reno, Nevada! Today I’m sitting down with Scott Morris, a renowned IT specialist here in town. We’re diving deep into the tech challenges confronting our local small business owners.
Cyber Security
Scott, thanks for joining me today. What are some of the biggest IT hurdles you see Reno’s small businesses facing?
“Tiffany, it’s a pleasure to be here. Cyber security is a major concern,” Scott explains, leaning forward earnestly. “Think about it – these smaller companies often lack the robust security infrastructure larger corporations have. Consequently, they become prime targets for hackers.”
Backup and Disaster Recovery Solution
“Not long ago, I helped a local bakery recover from a ransomware attack,” he continues, his tone tinged with concern. “They lost critical customer data and were temporarily forced to shut down. Thankfully, we had implemented a solid backup and disaster recovery solution beforehand. Accordingly, they were able to restore their systems and minimize downtime.”
Data Security
“That situation really highlights the importance of proactive measures,” Scott emphasizes. “Small businesses need to prioritize data security – encrypting sensitive information, implementing strong passwords, and regularly updating software are essential steps.”
He adds, “Moreover, employee training is crucial. Teaching staff to recognize phishing attempts and social engineering tactics can significantly reduce the risk of cyberattacks.”
PCI Compliance
“For businesses handling credit card information, PCI compliance is non-negotiable,” Scott states. “Failure to meet these standards can result in hefty fines and damage a company’s reputation.”
According to Verizon’s 2022 Data Breach Investigations Report, 61% of data breaches involved credentials obtained through phishing attacks.
Local SEO
“Reno is a vibrant city with a thriving small business community,” Scott observes. “Many local entrepreneurs rely heavily on online visibility. That’s where Local SEO comes in – optimizing their website and online presence to attract customers searching for products or services right here in Reno.”
He pauses, remembering something. “Last year, I helped a family-owned hardware store boost its online ranking using targeted keywords and local citations. Their foot traffic increased significantly, and they were thrilled with the results!”

“Don’t let IT challenges hold your business back,” Scott concludes with passion. “Reno Computer Services and I are here to help you navigate the complex world of technology.
