The Small Business Cybersecurity Baseline

The Small Business Cybersecurity Baseline

Cybersecurity does not need to start with a giant project. Most small businesses benefit from a clear baseline first.

A practical baseline includes

  • Endpoint protection
  • Email security
  • Password management
  • Microsoft 365 account hygiene
  • Backup review
  • Dark web monitoring
  • Phishing awareness

The goal is not fear. The goal is fewer obvious gaps and a better recovery path if something goes wrong.
