Attacks on small and medium-sized businesses are becoming increasingly common – ranging from phishing scams via fake emails to data encryption. I help implement cyber security in the workplace at a level appropriate to its size and budget.
Scope of activities
- antivirus protection and management from a single location
- automatic system and software updates
- password policy and password manager for the team
- two-factor authentication (2FA) for key accounts
- protecting email against spam and phishing
- disk encryption in laptops
- monitoring of staff authorisations and access rights
Staff training
The weakest link in security is often the unaware user. I run practical training sessions on how to spot suspicious messages, use passwords securely and what to do in the event of an incident.
Contingency plan
I’m putting together some simple procedures: who to notify, how to isolate an infected device, and how to recover data. In a stressful situation, it’s all about acting quickly.
Frequently Asked Questions
My business is small – does this apply to me?
Yes. Small businesses are often targeted because they usually have weaker security measures in place. Basic protection doesn’t have to be expensive.
Where should I start?
Starting with an audit to identify the key risks, followed by the implementation of two-factor authentication (2FA), backups and updates.
Do you help out in the event of an attack?
Yes, I am helping to minimise the impact of the incident, restore the data and secure the environment.
