Cyber security guide for SMEs

March 25, 2025

As part of its Cyber Security Strategy, the Government published a guide specifically for SMEs. This guide includes practical and evidence-based security measures to help protect businesses against some of the most common cyber security threats. The guide is designed to help improve your business’s cyber security protection defence. There are six key measures that it focuses on which includes:

  1. Identify what matters most
  2. Keep devices and software up to date
  3. Implement basic protections
  4. Turn on multi-factor authentication (MFA)
  5. Back-up your information
  6. Create strong complex passwords

The SFA strongly recommends that you implement the recommended measures contained within the guide.
