This assessment is built for Irish small businesses with 5-50 staff who rely on digital systems but lack dedicated IT security roles. We examine your current password practices, data backup routines, and access permissions against practical threats like credential theft or ransomware. The process starts with a 90-minute on-site or remote workshop where we map your critical data flows and existing controls. You receive a prioritised findings report detailing specific weaknesses, such as shared login credentials or untested backup restores. For example, a Drogheda retail client discovered their point-of-sale backups had never been verified, leaving them vulnerable to data loss. We then deliver a step-by-step remediation plan with clear timelines, assigning responsibility to available team members. This includes template policies for password rotation and access reviews that you can adapt immediately. The assessment concludes with a follow-up call to address implementation questions and ensure your team understands the trade-offs between convenience and security. It’s designed to give you visibility and confidence in your foundational cyber hygiene without overwhelming your operations.
Ideal for small businesses in sectors like hospitality, retail, or professional services where staff use shared systems and handle sensitive client data. If you’ve never formally audited your login or backup practices, this assessment surfaces the critical gaps before they cause downtime or data loss.
Deliverables include a confidential report with evidence-based findings, a risk matrix ranked by business impact, and tailored templates for policies and procedures. The report references relevant Irish data protection considerations and provides clear, actionable next steps your team can implement within weeks.
The engagement typically runs over two weeks, beginning with an initial scoping call. A mix of remote review and a half-day workshop allows us to observe real workflows without disrupting operations. You get direct access to the advisor during the assessment period for clarifications and practical advice.
