Is company data living on personal devices?

Employees may use personal phones, home computers, or tablets to access email, download files, or work in cloud applications.

That may be convenient, but unmanaged devices can make it harder to know where business information is stored and how it is protected.

A strong device strategy should help answer:

- Which devices can access company data?
- Are those devices properly secured?
- Can business information be removed when access is no longer needed?
- Is sensitive data being downloaded outside company-managed systems?

Convenience and security can work together, but there needs to be visibility.

If the device is outside your control, your data may be too.

Your security settings may have been configured correctly when they were first deployed.

But are they still configured correctly today?

Over time, environments change.

- Policies are modified.
- Exceptions are added.
- Users change roles.
- New applications are connected.
- Temporary changes sometimes become permanent.

That gradual change is known as configuration drift.

The problem is that your current environment may no longer match the security baseline you originally designed.

Configured once does not mean secure forever.

Security needs continuous review and validation.

AI agents can do more than answer questions.

They can access email, files, calendars, CRM systems, customer information, and even trigger business actions.

That makes one question increasingly important:

Should your AI be allowed to do that?

Before giving AI access to business systems, define clear guardrails around:

- Permissions
- Sensitive data
- Automated actions
- Human approvals
- Monitoring and accountability

AI can create enormous value, but access should always match the task.

Smart AI needs boundaries.

Cyber insurance is asking better questions.

Your business may already have MFA, endpoint protection, backups, and other security tools in place.

But can you show that those controls are actually working?

A strong readiness review should include:

✓ MFA
✓ EDR/MDR
✓ Backups and restore testing
✓ Privileged access
✓ Incident response
✓ Documentation

The goal is not just to check a box.

It is to make sure the controls protecting your business are properly configured, maintained, and ready when needed.

Prepare before renewal.

Who controls your business domain?

Your domain affects more than your website. It can also impact your email, customer communications, DNS, and online identity.

A few things every business should verify:

✓ Who has access to the registrar account
✓ Who controls DNS
✓ Whether the correct administrative contacts are listed
✓ Whether auto-renewal is enabled
✓ Whether MFA is protecting the account
✓ Whether SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are configured correctly

Your domain is a critical business asset.

Make sure the right people have the right access.

Your conference room technology could be creating security risks without you realizing it.

Many businesses focus on protecting employee computers and email, but shared office technology often gets overlooked. Conference room PCs, smart TVs, video meeting devices, tablets, and presentation tools can all become entry points if they are not properly secured.

Here are a few things every business should review:
• Shared logins and access permissions
• Device updates and patching
• Old or unused connected devices
• Network access for meeting room technology
• Default settings and weak passwords

Good cybersecurity is not just about firewalls and antivirus. It is also about making sure every connected device in your business is accounted for and protected.

If you would like help reviewing your environment, Vigil Cyber is here to help.

Your business may already have security tools in place.

But are they actually doing what you expect?

Strong cybersecurity depends on more than installing software. Security tools need to be:

✓ Configured correctly
✓ Monitored regularly
✓ Tested to confirm they work
✓ Maintained as your business changes

Having the tools is step one.

Making sure they are actually protecting your business is what matters.

Your business has backups—but have you tested whether they can actually be restored?

A complete backup and recovery plan should help protect critical systems, Microsoft 365 data, shared files, and important devices. It should also define who can access the backups and how quickly operations can be restored.

The best time to discover a recovery problem is during a planned test, not during an outage or cyber incident.

Downtime is expensive. Recovery should be planned.

Do you know how many browser extensions are installed across your business?

Extensions can be useful, but some may also have permission to:

✔ Read websites
✔ Access clipboard data
✔ View browsing activity
✔ Connect to outside services

Review extensions regularly and remove the ones your team no longer needs or does not recognize.

Small security checks can prevent bigger problems later.
