The Small Business Security Baseline

Seven practical security controls that stop the most common business tech disasters before they start.

Security does not have to start with a giant software purchase. For most small businesses, the first win is putting simple guardrails around the systems you already use.

Turn on multi-factor authentication for email, banking, payroll, social media, and website admin. If one password gets stolen, MFA is the second lock on the door.

Use a password manager, patch weekly, separate guest WiFi from business devices, and test your backups before an emergency. Those four habits prevent a surprising amount of damage.

If you want a second set of eyes, Pyramid Designs can run a quick baseline review and leave you with a clear, prioritized fix list.
