The real cyber risks facing small businesses
Attackers target SMEs because defences are often thinner, and one click can stop the business.
Phishing & email fraud
Fake invoices and look-alike emails trick staff into paying or sharing logins.
Ransomware
One infected laptop can lock every file and stop the business for days.
Account takeover
Stolen Microsoft 365 passwords give attackers your inbox, files and contacts.
Unprotected devices
Home working and personal devices leave gaps that basic antivirus misses.
Customer & insurer demands
Clients and cyber insurers now ask for Cyber Essentials and proof of controls.
No one owns security
Without a named owner, updates, backups and alerts get missed.
Untested backups
Backups that have never been restored often fail when you need them most.
Supplier & software risk
IT suppliers, cloud apps and add-ons can open a way in if they are not secured.

No. The UK government’s Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2025/26 found that 42% of micro businesses and 46% of small businesses identified a breach or attack in the previous 12 months. Most attacks are automated and aimed at whoever is easiest to get into.
Start with the five Cyber Essentials controls: firewalls, secure settings, access control, malware protection and software updates. Then add MFA, email filtering, tested backups and short staff training. Those basics stop most attacks on small firms.
