A zero trust roadmap tailored for SMB budgets, covering MFA, least privilege, device hardening, backups, and incident response.
Zero trust is one of the highest-searched cybersecurity topics in 2025 because ransomware and phishing keep rising. Here is a realistic, SMB-friendly plan that does not require enterprise budgets.
Explore security or contact to review your current setup.
List every device, app, and cloud account. You cannot protect what you cannot see. Classify critical systems like email, finance, and customer data first.
Turn on multi-factor authentication for email, CRM, accounting, and admin consoles. Use authenticator apps or passkeys instead of SMS wherever possible.
Give users only the access they need, and review permissions quarterly. Remove shared admin accounts and create separate elevated roles with approvals.
Use a modern endpoint security platform and automate updates for OS and browsers. Most breaches start with unpatched devices.
Separate guest Wi-Fi, employee devices, and servers. In cloud apps, restrict access by role and device posture, not just passwords.
Enable SPF, DKIM, and DMARC. Add advanced phishing protection and train teams on high-risk lures like invoice or payroll changes.
Keep offline or immutable backups and test restores monthly. Recovery speed is your true defense.
Set alerts for admin changes, new device logins, and large data downloads. Log everything to a central system that the team can review weekly.
Write a one-page plan: who to call, how to isolate devices, and how to restore systems. Run a tabletop test each quarter.
