Same threats, less capacity
Commodity ransomware, invoice fraud, and credential stuffing hit SMBs hardest because there is no one watching overnight.

Security that fits how
you actually operate.
Small organizations face the same automated attacks as enterprises — without a dedicated security function. The answer is a short list of correctly configured controls and a plan for the day something goes wrong.
The reality
Maturity without the enterprise tax
Most small businesses do not need a security operations centre. They need email that resists phishing, endpoints that are patched and protected, backups that restore under pressure, and someone who can say which three risks matter this quarter. Budget is finite; every tool that sits unused is money that should have gone to hardening or recovery rehearsal.
CyberSafe works to that constraint. We assess what you run today, rank exposure by business consequence, and implement only what your team can maintain. Documentation is written for the person who will inherit it — not for a binder that never opens.

Capabilities
Built for lean IT
Four priorities that remove the most exposure without hiring a security department.
Time is the scarce resource
Your IT lead already owns everything. We design work that fits maintenance windows — not multi-year transformation programmes.
02
People are the perimeter
Attackers know small teams skip MFA and reuse passwords. Awareness plus enforceable defaults closes that gap faster than another dashboard.
03
One incident can end the year
Limited cash reserves and customer trust mean downtime is existential. Recovery readiness is treated as a first-class control.
04
Process
How we engage
A practical sequence that respects budget and avoids tool sprawl.
- 01
Map what you run
Inventory systems, vendors, and who has access — including the cloud apps nobody formally owns.
- 02
Rank by consequence
Prioritise findings by operational and financial impact, not raw severity scores.
- 03
Harden the essentials
Email defence, MFA, endpoint protection, patching cadence, and backup verification.
- 04
Write the playbook
A short incident plan: who to call, what to isolate, how to restore, what to tell customers.
- 05
Stay lightly covered
Optional monitoring and periodic check-ins so posture does not silently decay.
