Practical Tips for SMEs: Strengthening Your IT Foundations

You don’t need enterprise‑level systems to improve your cybersecurity. Here are five simple steps every SME can take:

1. Turn on MFA everywhere It’s the single most effective way to prevent account compromise.

2. Keep devices updated Most cyber incidents exploit old software.

3. Test your backups A backup that hasn’t been tested isn’t a backup, it’s a hope.

4. Review who has admin access Many SMEs have more administrators than they realise.

5. Create a simple incident response plan Knowing what to do in the first hour of an incident makes all the difference.

Small improvements can dramatically reduce risk and downtime.
