4.8Small businesses are attacked constantly - not because they're rich, but because they're easy. Most lack a dedicated IT person, so basic protections never get set up, and a single ransomware hit or business-email-compromise scam can end the company. This baseline gives a small business (roughly 1 to 20 people) a concrete, prioritized security foundation it can implement without a security team or a big budget. It covers the controls that actually stop the attacks small businesses face: account security and 2FA across the team, device and patch management, backups that survive ransomware, email and payment fraud defenses, and a simple plan for when an employee leaves. It's written for the owner or office manager who has been told they "need to do something about security" but doesn't know where to start or what's overkill. Everything is mapped to effort and cost, so you can do the free, high-impact items first. You'll also get the human-process pieces that tools alone can't fix: a short acceptable-use policy, an onboarding/offboarding checklist, wire-transfer verification rules that defeat invoice fraud, and a one-page incident contact sheet. The result is a defensible baseline you can show to clients, insurers, and partners who increasingly ask about your security.
Yes - that's exactly who it's written for. Controls are ordered so a non-technical owner or office manager can implement the high-impact, low-cost items first, and the guide flags which few items may warrant a contractor.
It's a practical baseline, not a certification. But it maps closely to the fundamentals behind common frameworks and questionnaires, so it puts you in a strong position for client and insurer security reviews.
Business email compromise (fraudulent invoice/wire requests) and ransomware. The guide dedicates specific sections to both, because they cause the most real-world damage to small firms.
Many controls are free (built-in 2FA, OS encryption, update settings). The main paid items are a team password manager and adequate backup storage - typically a small per-user monthly cost. Each item lists its rough cost.
