Security sized for a small business.
You do not need an enterprise security programme. You need the handful of controls that stop the attacks small businesses actually face — configured properly and verified, not just purchased.
The layers that matter
ControlsManaged detection on every laptop, desktop, and server — with someone watching the alerts. Software nobody monitors is a receipt, not a control.
Email is how most breaches start. Filtering, anti-spoofing records (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), and impersonation protection for the addresses attackers copy.
Multi-factor authentication everywhere it matters, least-privilege access, and a real offboarding process so former staff lose access the day they leave.
Backups that are isolated from your network, so ransomware cannot encrypt them too — and restore tests, because an untested backup is a hope, not a plan.
Short, regular training plus simulated phishing, so your team learns to spot the message that gets past the filter.
The written policies and evidence that insurers, clients, and questionnaires increasingly demand — produced once and kept current.
Getting to a defensible position
Approach-
Baseline
We assess what is actually in place today against the controls that matter, and rank the gaps by real risk.
-
Close gaps
MFA, backups, endpoint coverage, and email authentication first — the controls that block the most common attacks.
-
Verify
Restore tests, access reviews, and phishing simulations to prove the controls work rather than assuming.
-
Maintain
Ongoing monitoring, patching, quarterly access reviews, and refreshed training as staff change.
What good looks like here.
Security work is scoped from the baseline assessment. Most small businesses can close their highest-risk gaps in a few weeks, not a few quarters.

No honest provider can promise you will never be breached. What we can do is close the gaps attackers rely on, and make sure you can recover quickly when something does get through.
