A practical checklist of simple measures that protect your data and your customers' data.
A small company does not need a huge budget to protect itself. Most incidents start with simple, avoidable mistakes.
Basic measures
- Strong, unique passwords: together with a password manager.
- Two-step verification: on email and important system accounts.
- Keep systems updated: install security updates for apps and websites regularly.
- Regular backups: and actually test restoring them.
- Limited permissions: each person gets only the access they need.
- Team awareness: train people to recognize phishing messages.
Security should be part of any system's design from the start, not an add-on at the end of the project.
