Small businesses are increasingly targeted by cybercriminals, making robust security essential. We recommend a layered approach starting with enterprise-grade firewall protection and secure Wi-Fi networks with proper encryption. Next, implement regular automated backups stored both locally and in the cloud, with monthly restoration testing to ensure data recovery capability. Email security with advanced spam filtering and phishing protection is crucial, as email remains the primary attack vector. Multi-factor authentication should be enabled on all business accounts, and staff training on security awareness helps prevent human error. We also recommend endpoint protection on all devices, regular software updates and patch management, password management tools for strong unique passwords, and encrypted data storage for sensitive information. For compliance-conscious industries, we can implement additional controls meeting specific regulatory requirements. Our security assessments identify vulnerabilities specific to your business and create a prioritized action plan within your budget.
