Run a Cyber Essentials Check
Most cyberattacks are a result of long-overlooked weaknesses.
Misconfigured domains, unprotected email settings, and expired security certificates are easy to find if you know where to look. The problem is that most businesses never do.
Delayed Action Is the Most Common Mistake
Many SMBs wait for a breach, a bounced client email, or a flagged vulnerability scan before reacting. By then, reputational damage, financial loss, or customer churn may already be underway.
See the NCSC’s Incident Trends. Small businesses remain highly targeted because of common misconfigurations that attackers exploit at scale.
A Quick Scan Can Reveal a Lot
A Cyber Essentials Health Check provides an instant look at your domain’s public security posture. Key items flagged include:
- Missing or weak SPF/DKIM/DMARC records.
- Unsecured services and login pages.
- Expired or misconfigured SSL/TLS certificates.
- Basic web and DNS hygiene issues.
Visibility is the first step to prevention. You can’t prevent what you don’t know.
