Frequently asked questions
How do I know if my small business is secure?
Check the basics attackers exploit most: multi-factor authentication on email, tested and offsite backups, supported and patched computers, monitored endpoint protection, staff phishing training, email domain authentication, same-day offboarding, a written incident plan, and separated guest Wi-Fi. This free check scores all ten in about two minutes.
Is this the same as a cybersecurity risk assessment?
No. This self-check is a quick screen based on your answers. A full risk assessment, which Vail Valley IT includes in its free cybersecurity assessment, inspects your actual systems, accounts and configurations and documents the findings.
What are the most common ways small businesses get hacked?
Phishing emails that steal passwords, accounts without multi-factor authentication, unpatched computers, and fraudulent payment-change requests sent by email. Most can be prevented with a handful of basic controls.
Is my information stored?
No. Your answers are scored in your browser. Nothing is sent unless you choose to email yourself the results.
