Small Business IT Security Workbook

What it is

A 34 page printable workbook plus a companion spreadsheet that walk you through the same areas a professional IT assessment covers, in plain English: what you own, how your accounts are protected, whether your backups actually restore, and what happens on the bad day. You finish with filled in records, a written update policy, an incident contact card on the wall, and a 90 day calendar that keeps the work from sliding.
