Before You Get Hacked: The Small Business Security Action Plan

Most small businesses are one weak password, one clicked link, or one stolen laptop away from a serious problem. The scary part? You probably wouldn't know about it for months.

This guide cuts through the noise and tells you exactly what to fix, in plain English, in the right order — no IT degree required, no expensive consultant needed.

Inside you'll find 10 sections covering every area that matters: passwords, multi-factor authentication, backups, phishing, device security, your Wi-Fi, GDPR compliance, and what to actually do if something goes wrong. Each section is colour-coded by priority so you know what to tackle first and what can wait.

You'll also get specific tool recommendations for every area — the ones actually worth using, with honest reasons why — plus a full printable checklist you can work through at your own pace.

Follow this guide and you'll be working toward Cyber Essentials certification, meeting your ICO and GDPR obligations as a business owner, and able to demonstrate to clients and insurers that you take security seriously.

It's the kind of advice small businesses usually only get when something's already gone wrong. This way, nothing has to.
