About this checklist
Most small business security problems start with something ordinary: a reused password, a missed update, an invoice email nobody double-checked. This checklist covers those everyday habits in plain English, with no jargon and no software to buy.
Next, the Security Policy Template Pack and Incident Response Plan Kit turn these habits into written policies and a response plan.
General information and templates only, not legal advice, a security audit or a guarantee. No checklist, policy or plan makes a business secure or compliant on its own; adapt every document to your business and have counsel review policies that affect employees or customers.
