As you add tools, employees, and customers, small gaps in your cyber hygiene become bigger threats, especially if you’re scaling fast.

Without regular checks, it is easy to lose track of what is exposed or misconfigured.

Explore the NCSC’s Cyber Security for Small Organisations Guide, practical advice tailored for growing businesses that need strong foundations.

A quick scan of your domain can reveal issues that may not be visible inside your network but are highly visible to attackers. What the scan checks:

• Inactive or Misconfigured Email Protection
• Redundant DNS Entries or Subdomains
• Self-signed or Expired Certificates
• Open Login Panels (RDP, Admin, Webmail)
• Public Services Without Rate Limiting or CAPTCHA

Fixing these issues early prevents them from becoming breach points later.

Cyber hygiene is about regularly identifying what’s most at risk and fixing it before it costs you.
