National Cyber Security Centre - New guidance for small organisations
Created: 18/01/2024
News/Events Category: TechnologySmall organisations have become increasingly dependent on online services for their day-to-day IT tasks. Many organisations adopted these online services (also known as ‘cloud services') as staff transitioned to home-working as a result of the pandemic, and they continue to rely on them for home (or hybrid) based work.
The National Cyber Security Centre have launched new online services guidance tailored for small organisations. The guidance is written specifically for small and medium sized enterprises to use online services more securely, so that they're less likely to be the victim of a cyber attack.
Organisations are reliant on online services for day-to-day tasks, even of they're not aware of it. This includes e-mail and instant message communications, cloud storage, website/shop hosting, online accounting and invoicing or simply using social media to engage with their audience.
If you rely on any of these services, it’s important that they are set up in such a way that they’re safe from online risks, whilst also reflecting your organisation’s priorities. Reputable service providers make it easy for you to do this, and will often provide useful ‘getting started’ tutorials and guides, such as for organisations using Google Workspace (Security checklist for small businesses) or Microsoft 365 (Top 10 ways to secure your data with Microsoft 365).
