What does a cyber security consultant do for a small business?
A cyber security consultant finds where your business is vulnerable to hacking, scams and data loss, fixes the most important gaps, and helps you prove it to customers and insurers. For most small businesses that means getting Cyber Essentials certified, securing email and Microsoft 365, training staff to spot phishing, and having tested backups — without needing a full-time IT security team.
