It can be a disaster for any business to get hacked or have its computers
infected with malware. This is especially true for small businesses that don't have
their own IT department to fix things.

Whether you use computers as a core function of your business, to conduct day to day admin,
or to just run the social media accounts, it's vitally important that your computers are virus free and
your logins are secure.

HOW I CAN HELP

1. WEB SAFETY GURU TUITION

I can provide training on a one to one basis or for small groups. The training is aimed at both the small business owner and its employees. We'll cover the following topics.

Passwords. You'll learn not only about how to strengthen your existing passwords but how to implement a safer password regime. This will emphasize the importance of changing passwords regularly.

How to spot a scam email. Failing to spot a scam email could have serious consequences for a small business. It could lead to your passwords and business information getting stolen, or to malware disabling your computers. I'll run through some of the most obvious signs of a scam email that everyone working for your business should know.

Viruses and malware. Learn about the different types of malware and learn about the procedures you should follow to minimize the damage should your business computer get infected.

Shared computers. Learn about the dos and don'ts of using shared computers at work. It's vitally important that all staff using a work computer understand computer safety, otherwise one person's mistake could cause problems for all of you.

Social Media. Learn about the risks of Social Media to your business.

2. MY SPECIAL SMALL BUSINESS PACKAGE :
Security reviews for small businesses near Croydon

Perhaps it's not just training your business requires. If you require a security checkup, I can run a periodical security review for you. I'll visit your premises and we'll run through the following points:

Password audit. I'll check how strong your passwords are and when they were last changed and will make recommendations accordingly.

Email checkup. I'll examine any suspicious emails you may have received to determine whether they are genuine. I'll explain why any are not (this serves as a useful training exercise).

Malware audit. I'll assess how up to date your anti-virus and anti-malware protection is and make recommendations accordingly. I'll review any malware that has been detected on your system. I'll discuss the severity of the malware and make recommendations on how you can reduce the risks in future.

Shared computer audit. I'll review your shared computers from a security perspective.

Software audit. I will make recommendations as to software to keep your systems free of malware and unwanted tracking cookies. I will also advise you if you are running any software which shouldn't be running on your shared business computer. Read more
