How to Protect a Small Business from Phishing

Practical steps to reduce phishing risk in a small business, combining technology and staff awareness.

Phishing emails try to trick staff into revealing passwords, paying fake invoices or opening malware. No single control stops all of them, but layers work well.

Technical steps

  • Turn on multi-factor authentication so stolen passwords are less useful
  • Use good email filtering
  • Configure SPF, DKIM and DMARC
  • Keep devices updated

People steps

  • Teach staff to pause on urgent payment requests
  • Always verify bank detail changes by phone using a known number
  • Make reporting easy and blame-free

Our phishing protection service brings these together.
