Security for SMEs
SMEs are not immune. Ransomware, phishing, data breaches: we break down the real risks and the defenses that actually work.
Security: what you need to know
SME security should be based on a current risk assessment, layered controls, tested recovery and clearly assigned responsibilities. The articles explain controls and questions to verify without promising a universal result.
Security controls should be selected from documented risks, then tested and reviewed.
Risk levels and suitable controls depend on the organisation and its systems.

How can I protect my SME against cyberattacks?
SME cybersecurity relies on multiple layers: next-generation firewall (Fortinet, etc.), externalized and tested backups, multi-factor authentication on all access points, and regular phishing awareness training for teams. An initial security audit identifies priority vulnerabilities.
What are the GDPR obligations for an SME?
Obligations depend on the processing activities, risks and role of the organisation. Use current CNIL guidance and legal advice for the applicable records, security measures, roles and incident duties.
