Security Guidance
Cybersecurity best practices for small businesses
Most security incidents occur due to weak identity protection, phishing, unpatched devices, or missing backups. These practices significantly reduce risk.
Enable Multi-Factor Authentication
Require MFA for Microsoft 365, VPN access, and administrator accounts.
Protect Email Systems
Configure SPF, DKIM, and DMARC to reduce impersonation and phishing risk.
Maintain Secure Endpoints
Keep devices patched, encrypted, and protected with endpoint security tools.
Train Users to Recognize Phishing
Educate employees to detect suspicious emails, links, and attachments.
Use Strong Access Controls
Limit administrative privileges and enforce least-privilege access.
Validate Backups Regularly
Ensure backups are tested and recovery procedures are documented.
