Is Your Business a Soft Target? Run a Free Cyber Check

You don’t have to be hacked to be at risk.

Most businesses are already leaking clues through outdated DNS entries, weak email security, and expired certificates. Attackers know how to find them. The question is, do you?

Cybercriminals Don’t Need to Guess

Attackers use automated tools to scan the internet for exposed services and misconfigured domains. If your business hasn’t run a basic cyber health check recently, you might be signalling vulnerabilities without even realising it.

Read CISA’s Bad Practices Advisory. It outlines exactly what weak signals attackers look for when scanning SMBs.

The Fastest Way to Check If You’re a Soft Target

An SMB Cyber Essentials Health Check scans your domain for key security controls and alerts you instantly. What gets scanned:

  • Missing or Misconfigured Email Authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC).
  • Unsecured Ports & Protocols (RDP, FTP, SMB).
  • Expired or Invalid SSL Certificates.
  • Security Header Misconfigurations.
  • Known Blacklist Status or Email Delivery Issues.

Quick Action Beats Delayed Response

In cybersecurity, speed and visibility are everything. A domain check provides both in less time than it takes to send an email.
