Riverbank IT Systems has published a practical cyber security checklist aimed at small businesses in Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Newcastle, Sheffield and Belfast.
The checklist covers multi-factor authentication on admin accounts, regular patching, tested backups, email filtering and a written incident response plan.
"Cyber attacks are not just a big-bank problem," said the company. "Small businesses in Northern England are targeted because basic controls are often missing. Our checklist is free and the first security review carries no obligation."
Riverbank provides 24/7 remote IT support, managed services, cyber security and cloud migration from Glasgow & Edinburgh, with planned on-site work across Northern England and Northern Ireland.
The checklist is available alongside the company’s cyber security services at https://www.riverbank-systems.com/cyber-security/.
