Phishing & fake invoices
One convincing email can move money or hand over a password. Most small-business breaches start here.
Shared & reused passwords
Staff sharing one login, or reusing personal passwords, means one leak opens every door.
Ex-employees with access
Accounts that never get turned off when someone leaves are an open back door.
Unprotected devices
Laptops, phones and point-of-sale terminals without updates or protection are easy targets.
No working backups
Ransomware is a nuisance with good backups — and a business-ending event without them.
Open Wi-Fi & networks
Guest Wi-Fi on the same network as your registers or office computers puts everything at risk.
