Cybersecurity that fits small businesses

Attackers don't look for big names, they look for open doors. I help you close the most important ones – with measures your daily routine can handle.

Illustration: several shield-shaped protective layers surround a database while attacks bounce off the outer layer; below are three backup copies, one of them separate and locked

An encrypted server, a hijacked email account or a forged payment instruction can paralyse a small business for days. The good news: most risks can be reduced significantly with solid basics. I start with an honest assessment and then implement the measures that remove the most risk per euro invested.

What I do for you

  • Security check

    A structured review of accounts, devices, network, email and cloud services with a prioritised list of measures.

  • Backup and recovery

    A 3-2-1 backup plan with a separate, immutable copy – including regularly tested restores.

  • Access and accounts

    Multi-factor authentication, need-to-know access rights and clean onboarding and offboarding of staff.

  • Devices and email

    Securing laptops and smartphones, updates and email protection against spoofing and phishing.

  • Team awareness

    Practical short training on phishing, passwords and fraud schemes – without wagging fingers.

  • Incident plan

    A short, clear plan: who does what if something happens? With a contact list and first steps.

Especially suitable if …

  • you are not sure whether your backup would work in an emergency
  • accounts are used without multi-factor authentication
  • clients or partners ask for proof of IT security
  • you want to know whether NIS2 or supply chain requirements affect you

What you have at the end

  • A clear risk overview with priorities
  • Basic measures implemented and a tested restore
  • An incident plan and an aware team

Common questions

Is a small business really a target?

Yes. Many attacks are automated and hit anyone with a vulnerability. Small businesses are often easier targets because protective measures are missing.

Does the NIS2 directive affect us?

NIS2 mainly targets medium-sized and large companies in certain sectors. Small firms are often affected indirectly when their clients require security evidence from suppliers. We clarify this in a conversation.

Do you carry out penetration tests?

The focus is on security checks and implementing protective measures. For in-depth penetration testing I recommend specialised partners where needed.
