Cybersecurity for Small Business - Without the Fear-Mongering

The honest version of the threat

Most small businesses don't get hacked by genius nation-state attackers. They get hit by phishing emails, reused passwords, unpatched machines, and ransomware that walked in through one of those doors. That's good news, in a way: the defenses are known, affordable, and boring. We just have to actually do them - consistently, on every machine, forever. That's the part an MSP is for.

The security stack we run

• Endpoint detection & response (EDR). Modern protection on every computer that catches behavior, not just known viruses.
• Multi-factor authentication everywhere. The single highest-value control there is - enforced, not suggested.
• Email filtering and authentication. Phishing blocked before the inbox; SPF/DKIM/DMARC so nobody can impersonate your domain.
• Patching on a schedule. Operating systems and applications updated automatically - gaps tracked and closed.
• Isolated, tested backups. Ransomware can't encrypt what it can't reach. Recovery is rehearsed, not improvised.
• Security awareness training. Because the most common attack is a convincing email to your bookkeeper.

Security that satisfies your insurance carrier

Cyber-insurance applications now ask pointed questions: Do you have MFA on email and remote access? EDR on all endpoints? Tested, isolated backups? Documented training? Answer wrong and you pay more - or the claim gets denied after an incident. We set up the controls, keep the evidence, and help you fill out the application accurately.
