SME Cybersecurity Review

A practical cybersecurity review for Swiss SMEs that want to understand their exposure, fix the basics, and prioritise the improvements that matter most.
This is designed for organisations that do not need a large audit programme, but do need clear, independent guidance and a realistic action plan.

Who this is for
This review is a good fit if:
- you run or support an SME and are unsure where your main security risks are,
- your systems have grown over time without a recent security review,
- you have received suspicious emails, phishing attempts, or unusual account activity,
- you want to improve security before investing in tools, vendors, or larger projects,
- management needs a clear explanation of practical risks and next steps,
- you need an independent technical view without long-term lock-in.
Typical triggers
SMEs usually ask for help when something makes security feel more urgent:
- a phishing email reaches employees,
- a password or account may have been exposed,
- a website, server, or cloud tool has not been reviewed for a while,
- backups, access rights, or patching are unclear,
- cyber insurance, customers, or partners ask security questions,
- an internal IT or automation project raises security concerns.
The goal is to turn uncertainty into a short, prioritised action plan.
What can be reviewed
The exact scope depends on your environment, but a practical SME review can cover:
Email and phishing resilience
- SPF, DKIM, and DMARC configuration
- suspicious email and header review
- phishing exposure and basic awareness gaps
- account-protection recommendations
Access and identity basics
- password and multi-factor authentication practices
- privileged account handling
- user access review priorities
- basic account-recovery risks
Systems, patching, and configuration
- operating system and application patching practices
- website or server hardening basics
- exposed services and unnecessary access paths
- encryption and certificate configuration checks
Backups and recovery readiness
- backup presence and separation
- basic restore-readiness questions
- ransomware resilience priorities
- practical recovery documentation gaps
Management-friendly prioritisation
- which risks matter most,
- what can be fixed quickly,
- what should be planned next,
- where specialist or vendor support may be useful.
What you receive
Depending on the agreed scope, the output can include:
- a short findings summary,
- a prioritised action list,
- quick wins and medium-term improvements,
- clear explanation of business impact,
- recommendations suitable for management and technical teams,
- optional support to coordinate implementation.
The focus is practical: clear next steps, not unnecessary complexity.

-
Initial conversation
Clarify your situation, urgency, systems, and goals. -
Lightweight scope definition
Agree what should be reviewed and what should stay out of scope. -
Review and analysis
Check the agreed systems, configurations, processes, or evidence. -
Prioritised recommendations

Optional follow-up
Support implementation, vendor coordination, or management communication.
Important: do not send secrets through forms
