What should a small-business cyber security policy cover?
Useful policies should address the risks that actually affect day-to-day work: account security and MFA, passwords and access, supported and updated devices, backups, remote working, personal devices, staff responsibilities and what happens when a security incident occurs.
Turn security practices into documented processes
Having technical controls is important, but documented policies explain what the business expects people to do and who is responsible. This is especially useful as a company grows, takes on staff or contractors, works with larger customers, or receives supplier security questionnaires.
