Security and compliance
How do I know if my business has cybersecurity gaps?
Start with the basics: user access, multi-factor authentication, backups, software updates, devices, vendor access, sensitive data, and incident response. Look for places where there is no clear owner or where controls exist only by assumption. Prioritize gaps that could expose important accounts or stop operations.
What to check
- Are important accounts protected with multi-factor authentication?
- Are backups tested and separate from live systems?
- Do former staff and vendors lose access promptly?
