Start with the gaps that
matter most
Close the gaps most likely to disrupt your business.
Strong cybersecurity starts with safer sign-ins, limited administrator access, updated work computers, reliable recovery, and prompt removal of former employees.
Limit powerful access
Separate administrator accounts, a least-privilege approach that allows only necessary access, and an emergency access plan.
Keep work computers protected
Clear security-update tracking provides patch visibility, endpoint protection blocks threats, encryption protects stored data, and a response plan explains what happens when something goes wrong.
Backups you can restore
Know what is backed up, who receives failure alerts, how long copies are kept, and whether recovery has been tested.
A useful security review
Leave with priorities, not panic.
A practical assessment shows what matters first, what can wait, who owns each step, and how completion will be verified.
