Why a ten-minute check matters

Most cyber incidents aren't sophisticated attacks. They start with something small: a missed update, a weak password, an account nobody closed down when a member of staff left. The good news is that these are exactly the things a short, regular check can catch.

Preventative maintenance is almost always cheaper than recovery. A morning spent fixing the basics costs far less than a day of downtime, a lost mailbox or a data breach you have to report.

The businesses that avoid trouble aren't the ones with the biggest budgets. They're the ones that get the basics right, consistently.
