Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity for small businesses on the South Shore

The basics, done properly, stop most attacks.

Most break-ins at small offices start with a stolen password or a convincing email. We put the protections in place that close those doors, check that they stay on, and explain them in plain language.

What we set up and watch

Two-step sign-in

A code from a phone app on every email and cloud account, so a leaked password alone does not get anyone in.

Email protection

Filtering for phishing and malicious attachments, plus the domain records (SPF, DKIM and DMARC) that make it harder for criminals to send email pretending to be you.

Updates and antivirus

Windows, Mac and key programs kept up to date, with business antivirus that reports to us, not just to whoever is at the desk.

Backups that restore

Off-site backups of files and email, with test restores, so ransomware or a dead laptop is an inconvenience and not a disaster.

Right access for each person

Staff get the files and systems they need and nothing more. When someone leaves, their access goes the same day.

Staff awareness

Short, practical guidance on spotting fake invoices, payment change requests and password scams.

Start with a security checkup

We review your accounts, email, devices, Wi-Fi and backups, then give you a short written report: what is fine, what needs fixing, and in what order. Many offices fix the most important items in a single visit.

Security is included in our managed IT support, and we also do it as a one-time project for offices that have their own help.

Why it matters for small offices

  • Small offices are targeted because they often lack the basics
  • A single fake invoice or payment change request can cost thousands
  • Insurers and clients increasingly ask about two-step sign-in and backups
  • Offices that handle client financial or personal data have legal duties to protect it

Common questions

We are a small office. Are we really a target?

Yes. Most attacks are automated and look for easy targets of any size. Email fraud and stolen passwords hit small offices often because the basic protections are missing.

Will two-step sign-in slow my staff down?

Very little. Most people approve a sign-in on their phone a few times a week, and we set it up so trusted office computers do not ask constantly.

Our cyber insurance asks security questions. Can you help?

Yes. We can put the required protections in place and help you answer the questionnaire accurately.
