When a cyber incident happens, the first hour goes better if the plan already exists. Decide the basics now.

🔸Who is in charge of the response, and who is their backup?
🔸Who do employees contact if they suspect something is wrong?
🔸Where is your IT provider’s after-hours number, and does everyone know it?
🔸Where are your backups, and has anyone tested restoring from them?

Write it down and keep a printed copy somewhere you can reach if systems are offline.

Most small businesses do not have a security problem so much as an ordering problem. The advice is everywhere, all of it sounds urgent, and none of it says what to do on Monday.

So we put the work in order and made it a worksheet. Thirteen steps across 90 days, with a blank next to each one for who owns it and when it is due. Fill it in during one meeting and pin it up.

The article behind it explains why the order matters, what each phase accomplishes, and where businesses usually get stuck: https://bit.ly/4yz4EJb

A behind-the-scenes piece of software called PHP, which helps power most websites on the internet, just received emergency security fixes. In plain terms, a flaw in a site you use could put your personal information at risk, even if your own password is strong.

Here’s what everyday users can do:

🔸Stick to sites you trust, and be cautious with unexpected emails, texts, or messages claiming to be from sites you use.
🔸Turn on two-factor authentication for important accounts like email and banking.
🔸Keep your operating system and browser up to date.
🔸If your browser blocks a site as a security risk, leave the page right away.

If you own a website, log into your hosting control panel or contact your hosting provider today to confirm your servers are running the latest patched version of PHP.

Most owners have never seen an incident response plan, which makes it hard to know whether the one you do not have is a big problem or a small one.

Yesterday we wrote about how to build one. Today, here is a sample so you can see the pieces a working plan contains:

🔸Four roles with primary and backup names, because a title is not a person at 6am on a Saturday
🔸The potential call list: IT provider, cyber insurer and policy number, attorney, bank fraud line, FBI reporting
🔸Six actions for the first hour, including the ones people get wrong, like wiping machines before evidence is preserved
🔸Message outlines for employees and clients, written calmly in advance
🔸The recovery sequence, in order, with verification before anyone touches a restored system

Every page is marked SAMPLE, and that is deliberate. It is an illustration, not a completed or legally reviewed plan. Use it to see the shape of the thing, then build yours with your IT provider so it reflects your actual systems and obligations.

Yesterday we walked through how to build a cyber incident response plan. Today, here is what one actually looks like.

The sample shows the pieces: the four roles with backups, the call list to assemble before you need it, the first-hour actions, message outlines for staff and clients, and the order systems come back online.

It is marked SAMPLE on purpose. It is an example to picture your own against, not a finished plan to adopt. The real one should reflect your systems, your people, and your insurance requirements.

Four questions decide how bad a cyber attack gets, and all four get asked in the first hour. Who is in charge? What do we shut down? What do we tell clients? How long until we are working again?

If the answers are being invented on the spot, every hour of confusion adds to the bill. If they were written down on a calm afternoon months ago, the same morning goes very differently.

Our newest article walks through building a cyber incident response plan for a small business: the four roles you need, what belongs in the plan, what you say and when, and the order systems come back online. It takes an afternoon, not a consultant.

That “remind me tomorrow” button can leave a known security hole open for weeks. Software updates often include fixes for flaws attackers already know about.

🔸Turn on automatic updates for operating systems and web browsers.
🔸Do not forget phones, tablets, and office equipment like routers and printers.
🔸Restart devices when prompted, since many updates only finish after a restart.

"We use OneDrive, so we're backed up."

That one comes up in almost every conversation, and it is the most expensive misunderstanding on the list. Cloud storage syncs your files, which means it faithfully copies your ransomware encryption and your accidental deletions right along with everything else. A real backup is a separate copy, somewhere your main systems cannot reach.

Our newest article covers the three protections that actually do the work for a small business, along with the eight myths that keep owners from putting them in place: https://bit.ly/4h90yBj

Long beats complicated. A passphrase made of several unrelated words is easier to remember and harder to crack than a short string of symbols.

🔸Use a different password for every account, so one breach does not open every door.
🔸Let a business password manager create and store them for you.
🔸Change a password right away if a service reports a breach.
