Spending sensibly.
WHAT COSTS LITTLE OR NOTHING
Updates Unique passwords and a second step Access removal Screen locks and encryption Awareness
THAT LIST PREVENTS MOST INCIDENTS
WHAT COSTS SOMETHING
A password manager for the team Backup storage Security software Device replacement when support ends Advice, where obligations are unclear
WHAT COSTS MORE THAN IT RETURNS FOR MOST SMALL BUSINESSES
Elaborate tooling nobody operates Monitoring nobody reads
WHAT TO SPEND ON FIRST
Backups, and the means for people to use unique passwords.
WHAT TO BUDGET ANNUALLY
Device replacement Licences Any advice required
THE DEVICE POINT
A device no longer receiving updates is a permanent weakness.
Budget for replacement rather than deferring indefinitely.
WHAT TO COMPARE SPENDING AGAINST
What a week of disruption would cost you.
WHAT NOT TO DO
Buy a product instead of doing the basics.
