You do not need a big budget to be safe online. These habits stop most everyday attacks.
Small businesses are attractive targets because attackers expect weaker defences. The good news is that a few basic steps block the majority of attacks.
People and passwords
- Use a password manager and long, unique passwords
- Turn on two-factor authentication for email, hosting, banking and your website admin
- Train staff to spot phishing emails and unexpected invoices
Devices and software
- Install updates promptly on computers, phones, plugins and your CMS
- Use reputable antivirus and a firewall
- Encrypt laptops and phones in case they are lost
Data and backups
- Follow the 3-2-1 rule: three copies, two types of storage, one off-site
- Test restoring a backup at least twice a year
- Only give people access to what they need
Have a plan
Know who to call and what to do if something goes wrong: change passwords, isolate affected devices, restore from backup and inform customers if their data is involved.
The bottom line
Security is mostly good habits. Start with passwords, updates and backups, and build from there. If you would like a security health check for your website or app, get in touch.
