Real security for IT companies

Continuous developments in the IT sector require proper risk management and appropriate employee benefits

Providing excellent IT services or innovative IT products

For you as an IT entrepreneur, no day is the same. Software updates, patches, time constraints and new developments you have to respond to. There is always plenty to do - but also plenty of times when things can go wrong. Think of a patch that later turns out not to work properly after all, or a delivery date you just missed. Usually this is not a disaster. But what if it is? Liability claims are common in the IT sector and can have major (financial) consequences.

As if that weren't enough, you also have to find your way in a tight job market. IT talent is scarce - and the competition to bring them in and retain them is cutthroat. How do you make sure your terms of employment stand out? What can you do to keep employees interested and engaged? What are your competitors doing? And how do you put together a flexible, modern and attractive employee benefits package?

Key themes for your IT business

In the area of risk management and employee benefits

Liability

Liability in the IT sector goes far beyond a fallen laptop or a visitor falling down the stairs on your premises. You can also be held responsible for financial damage you cause - accidentally or otherwise - to others. Do you make a mistake and do your services (according to your client) not meet expectations? Then the consequences can be major. So great, in fact, that the continuity of your company is at stake. And you run that risk even if you yourself believe that you have done nothing wrong. A good professional and business liability insurance is therefore not a superfluous luxury - but pure necessity.

Cyber & privacy

In the ICT sector, many data breaches occur due to internal causes. Think of personal data accidentally sent to the wrong recipient, or a USB stick left behind in a public computer. Especially in your field, this is extra annoying - as it often involves sensitive data from another organization. Cybercriminals also often target IT companies. Logical, because you are the link between different organizations. If you get hacked, they can do even more damage through you. It is therefore crucial to invest in good preventive measures. And just as important: make sure you have a backup plan ready in case you do become a target.

Employee benefits

In the IT sector, the demand for personnel is greater than the supply - and that gap will only widen in the coming years. This is precisely why it is extra important for you to bind and enthral employees with strong employee benefits.

It is essential to find the right balance: between the quality of your benefits and their impact on your risk profile. Also critically examine whether your benefits are truly competitive. Because if your package is not attractive enough, you run the risk that talent will move to the competition.

Pension

Pension is one of the most important employee benefits for IT professionals. Our benchmark shows that almost all employers of any size in the IT sector offer a pension plan. Important questions here are: which premium scale fits the needs of your employees? And does that premium also fit within your budget? In addition: which pension budget is usual in the industry? And what is a normal employee contribution? A good benchmark and a survey of your employees will help you put together a pension plan that is not only attractive, but also suits your organization.
