What is SMB1001?
SMB1001 is a streamlined cyber security framework designed to help SMBs strengthen their security posture with minimal resources.
By adhering to SMB1001, businesses can protect themselves from cyber threats like phishing, ransomware, and unauthorised access while demonstrating a commitment to data security. It is cost-effective, flexible, and tailored for smaller organisations.
The framework covers essential security areas, like:
- Access Control: Ensuring only authorised individuals have access to sensitive data.
- Data Protection: Implementing safeguards to protect customer and business information.
- Incident Response: Preparing for and managing cyber incidents to minimise damage.
- Patch Management: To help maintain a secure, stable, and efficient IT environment.
Why SMB1001?
Small and medium-sized businesses are increasingly targeted by cybercriminals due to their often-limited security measures.
SMB1001 is an entry level cyber hygiene framework that makes starting the data security journey easy for SMBs. It extends work undertaken for frameworks like the Essential Eight, and helps you to prepare for achieving ISO 27001 certification.
With de.iterate streamlining your SMB1001 certification, you’ll be well-prepared to manage cyber risks and safeguard your organisation’s data with minimal complexity.
