Cyber Security for Small Businesses in Kent
Cyber security is no longer just a concern for large organisations. SMEs are targeted precisely because attackers know that smaller businesses often lack the policies, processes and protections that larger companies have in place.
ClearPath provides practical, no-nonsense cyber security support that's right for the size and budget of your business.
What We Offer
Cyber Security Assessment
A review of your current IT environment to identify vulnerabilities and gaps in your security posture. We'll give you a plain-English report with prioritised recommendations.
Cyber Security Policies
Most SMEs don't have a security policy. We'll help you create one: acceptable use, password policy, data handling, incident response. Documentation that protects you and gives your team clear guidance.
Safe Online Working Practices
Guidance and documentation on phishing awareness, safe email habits, secure remote working and device management.
Staff Training
Practical security training for your team. How to spot phishing emails, how to handle sensitive data, what to do if something goes wrong.
Cyber Essentials Guidance
Cyber Essentials is the UK government-backed certification for business cyber security. Many insurers now require Cyber Essentials as a condition of cyber insurance cover, and larger clients and public sector organisations increasingly ask for it before entering contracts. I guide you through the five technical controls, help you identify any gaps, and support you through the self-assessment process.
Ad-hoc Compliance Testing
Basic testing to check your defences: simulated phishing, password hygiene checks and review of your current controls.
43% of businesses experienced a cyber attack in the past year (UK Government Cyber Security Breaches Survey, 2025). For small businesses, the most common entry points are phishing emails, weak passwords and unpatched software - all fixable without a large budget.
Most SMEs Are More Exposed Than They Think
The most common cyber security gaps we see in smaller businesses:
- No documented security policies
- Weak or reused passwords (and no MFA)
- Staff who wouldn't recognise a phishing email
- No process for what to do when something goes wrong
- Outdated software and unpatched systems
None of these require expensive enterprise security tools. They require good practices, properly documented and followed.
Cyber Security Without the Complexity
We don't sell enterprise security products to businesses that don't need them. We help you implement the right level of protection for your size and risk profile, clearly explained and practically implemented.
