Helping small businesses with free, hands-on cyber consultancy
Cyber Advisors can also help you with other free tools from the NCSC. The Early Warning service, for example, warns you about potential viruses and vulnerabilities on your network, so you can act on them before they become bigger problems. If you employ a Cyber Advisor, they will also be able to help set up Early Warning and use the alerts you’ll receive to improve your cyber security.
Another tool, the NCSC’s free Cyber Action Toolkit, is a new way of providing advice in a manner that engages small businesses and, more importantly, encourages you to take action. As you work through the toolkit, you’ll build layers of protection around your organisation that defend against common cyber threats such as email hacking, data breaches, and ransomware.
Ultimately, initiatives like these demonstrate that cyber security is within reach for organisations of all sizes, working across all sectors. With the right support, small businesses don’t need to tackle cyber security alone. You can confidently take practical steps to protect your operations, customers, and data with the support and expertise that’s perfectly tailored to you.
