OM DENNE EPISODE
Antivirus, backups, and MFA are a start. They won't tell you how payroll runs when the check printer is inaccessible or keep your risk register current six months later. This week, Jared and Mike talk about what a small business actually needs and how to keep that work going.
- Identify the client's critical data and the processes that keep the business running.
- Check the less obvious dependencies, from break-glass accounts to the payroll check printer.
- Use CIS Implementation Group 1 as a starting point, then keep improving.
- Schedule user audits, policy reviews, and risk assessments as recurring work.
We answer:
- What should a 50-person company with antivirus, backups, and MFA be doing repeatedly to have a minimum viable security program?
- How do you keep that program alive when policies go stale, evidence goes missing, and nobody updates the risk register?
