In the digital age, business leaders heavily rely on technology, and the importance of employee cybersecurity policy compliance in small and medium-sized enterprises to small business leaders cannot be overstated. However, small business leaders lack the resources and skills to apply effective cybersecurity measures and train their staff on best practices that can help them secure their customers' data. Grounded in the protection motivation theory, the purpose of this qualitative pragmatic inquiry study was to identify and explore strategies small business IT leaders use to improve employee cybersecurity policy compliance. The participants were five information technology leaders based in the United States. Data were gathered through semistructured interviews and publicly accessible information from the company's website. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data. The key themes that emerged were threat appraisal strategy, self-efficacy strategy, and response efficacy strategy. A key recommendation is that top management should be involved in cybersecurity to facilitate threat appraisal among employees by conveying the firm's serious vulnerability to cybersecurity. The implications for social change include the potential to mitigate damages from cyberattacks to help businesses provide stable employment to their employees and help consumers avoid paying for the economic costs of cyberattacks.
