Use Strong, Unique Passwords — and Store Them Securely
Reusing the same password across multiple logins is one of the easiest ways for attackers to get in. Use a password manager to generate and store strong, unique passwords for every account — and protect them with two-factor authentication (2FA).
Why it matters: One compromised login can put your entire system at risk.
Keep Your Devices and Software Updated
It’s easy to click ‘Remind me later,’ but software updates often include vital security patches. Make a habit of updating devices, apps, and operating systems as soon as new versions are available.
Why it matters: Cyber attackers often exploit known vulnerabilities — and updates are your first line of defence.
Back Up Your Data — Regularly
Whether it’s human error, a hardware failure, or ransomware, things can (and do) go wrong. A secure cloud backup means your files can be restored quickly and with minimal disruption.
Why it matters: Backups give you options — and peace of mind.
Be Cautious with Emails and Links
Phishing emails are getting more convincing. Look out for unexpected links, poor spelling, or odd sender addresses. If you’re unsure, don’t click — and never enter personal information into suspicious forms.
Why it matters: Most breaches start with a simple mistake. Training your team to spot risks is essential.
Limit Access Based on Role
Not everyone in your business needs access to everything. Keep things tidy by assigning user permissions based on job function — and remove access for old accounts or former staff members.
Why it matters: The fewer people who can access sensitive information, the less risk you carry.
