Cybersecurity
Practical cybersecurity for small businesses that cannot afford a bad week
Small businesses are not too small to be targeted. Phishing emails, stolen passwords, and ransomware are automated, and they reach a ten-person office as easily as a large one. The difference is that a small business usually has no one watching, no tested backup, and no plan for the morning everything is encrypted.
Good security for a small office is not about buying the most products. It is about covering the common ways businesses actually get hurt: compromised email accounts, unpatched computers, weak or reused passwords, and backups that were never tested. We put sensible controls in place, keep them maintained, and make sure you can recover if something gets through.
What the service covers
- Endpoint protection on workstations and servers, centrally managed and monitored
- Email security: filtering for phishing and malware, plus authentication records for your domain
- Multi-factor authentication rollout for email, cloud applications, and remote access
- Backup and recovery for servers, workstations, and Microsoft 365 data, with periodic restore tests
- Security assessments that review accounts, devices, network exposure, and policies
- Staff guidance on recognizing phishing and reporting suspicious messages
- Incident response support when something does go wrong
What working with us looks like
- 01
Assessment
We review how your accounts, devices, email, and backups are set up today, and give you a written list of findings ranked by risk, in plain language.
- 02
Remediation
We work through the findings in order: usually multi-factor authentication, email protection, endpoint protection, and backups first, because they address the most common incidents.
- 03
Maintain and verify
Security is ongoing. We keep protections updated, review alerts, test restores, and revisit the assessment as your business changes.
Who this is for
This service fits any business that stores client data, handles payments, or simply could not operate for a week without its files and email. It is especially relevant for professional offices, healthcare practices, and firms whose clients or insurers have started asking security questions.
Frequently asked questions
- We already have antivirus. Is that enough?
- Antivirus alone covers one part of the risk. Most incidents at small businesses start with a compromised email account or a stolen password, which antivirus does not address. Multi-factor authentication, email filtering, and tested backups close most of that gap.
- How do we know our backups actually work?
- By restoring from them. We schedule periodic restore tests so you know your data can be recovered before you need it.
