Cyber attacks on small businesses usually exploit simple gaps: a reused password, an unpatched laptop, a convincing phishing email. Compufix helps you close those gaps with practical, affordable controls that fit how your team works.
Common problems we help with
- Staff receive convincing phishing emails every week
- Some accounts still have no multi-factor authentication
- Devices miss updates for months
- Backups exist but have never been tested
- No plan for what to do if an attack happens
How Compufix solves it
We assess where you stand, then work through a prioritised plan. The first steps usually deliver most of the protection: MFA everywhere, managed updates, endpoint protection, email filtering and tested backups. We keep these controls maintained as part of managed support.
Practical security for Chester, Cheshire and North Wales businesses
Small businesses rarely have the budget for enterprise security, and they do not need it. Most attacks we see locally start with a phishing email, a reused password or an unpatched device. We focus on the controls that address these risks first, then build up protection in proportion to your business and the data you hold.
