Cybersecurity Services for Small Business
Practical cybersecurity for small offices.
Small businesses get breached through unlocked basics: no MFA, flat networks, backups nobody has tested. AITGD secures the fundamentals: firewall, remote access, endpoints, backups. AITGD decides what's worth doing and what's security theater, based on how your office actually works. You won't get scare tactics or enterprise tools your office will never use.

Scope / 01–09
Firewall, VPN, MFA, endpoint protection, and backups: what's included.
- Business firewall configuration with intrusion prevention, geo-blocking, and sane rules
- VPN and secure remote access for staff working from home or on the road
- Multi-factor authentication across email, VPN, and critical apps
- Endpoint protection on every workstation and server, managed rather than just installed
- Content filtering that blocks known-malicious sites at the network level
- Backup setup with both local and cloud copies
- Disaster recovery planning: what gets restored, in what order, and how fast
- Periodic restore testing, because a backup you haven't restored is a guess
- Security documentation for insurance applications and audits
When small business cybersecurity stops being optional.
The polite trigger is a cyber-insurance renewal or a client security questionnaire. Suddenly someone official wants to know about your MFA, your backups, and your firewall, and you don't have answers. The impolite trigger is an incident: a phished mailbox, a ransomware note, a vendor telling you your account sent them something nasty. You also need this when remote work crept in without a plan. Staff hitting office machines over remote desktop with no VPN is one of the most common ways small businesses get hit.
Common questions.
We're a small company. Are we really a target?
You're not targeted. You're scanned. Attacks against small businesses are automated and indiscriminate: bots probing for open remote desktop, mass phishing, recycled passwords. Small firms get hit because they're soft, not because they're chosen. Locking the basics removes you from the easy pile.
What does a real backup setup look like?
Two copies, two places: a local backup for fast restores, and a cloud copy that ransomware on your network can't reach. Then test restores on a schedule. If your current "backup" is a USB drive someone swaps on Fridays, when they remember, that's the first thing we fix.
Our staff work from home some days. What's the secure way to set that up?
A VPN into the office, with MFA on the connection. The common shortcut we replace is remote desktop left open to the internet, which is how a large share of small-business ransomware gets in. We configure the VPN on your firewall, set up each laptop, and close the risky doors behind it.
Can you fill out our cyber-insurance questionnaire?
We do this regularly. We review the application, fix the controls you can't honestly check yes on (MFA, endpoint protection, and backups are the usual gaps), and document everything so the answers hold up if you ever file a claim. Wrong answers on those forms can void coverage.
