We're too small to be a target."

It's the most common thing we hear from Kiwi small businesses — and the most dangerous.

Here's the reality: most attacks today are automated. Bots don't hand-pick victims — they scan the internet for any open door and walk through it. A tradie, a café, a school, a plumbing firm... to a bot, you're just an IP address with a weak spot.

The good news? The mistakes we see most often are also the cheapest to fix.

In our latest article we break down the 5 we run into most on a free IT checkup — and exactly how to close each gap:

2. Weak and reused passwords
3. No multi-factor authentication (MFA)
4. Putting off software updates
5. Backups that don't actually work

No enterprise budget required — just the fundamentals done properly.
