Why Even Small Businesses Need Basic Protection
You don’t need to be a big company to be affected by a security problem. Most attacks are simply looking for easy opportunities—and small businesses often look the easiest.
“We’re Small—Why Would Anyone Bother With Us?”
Most attacks are not personal. Attackers run automated tools that scan the internet looking for simple weaknesses.
They’re Looking For Easy Wins
- Old software that hasn’t been updated
- Simple or reused passwords
- Unprotected remote access
- Missing or weak email filters
- Backups that don’t actually work
- Employees who can be tricked by a convincing email
You don’t have to be “important” to be hit. You just have to be easier to break into than the next business.
“Our IT Company Handles That… Don’t They?”
Your IT provider keeps things running—resetting passwords, setting up computers, fixing issues, and keeping the lights on. That’s important work, but it doesn’t always mean someone is actively watching security.
Common Gaps No One Is Owning
- Checking that backups can be restored, not just that they exist
- Making sure only the right people have access to sensitive data
- Turning on stronger login protection where it matters most
- Watching for risky settings that were “temporary” but never cleaned up
- Reviewing what outside vendors and tools can see and do
- Writing down what to do—and who does what—if something goes wrong
Blu3berryPi helps fill that gap by focusing specifically on security basics and helping you and your IT provider stay aligned.
What a Security Problem Can Really Cost
A single incident doesn’t just create an IT headache—it can disrupt your entire business.
- Downtime where you can’t serve customers or access systems
- Unexpected bills for recovery work and emergency help
- Lost trust from customers and partners
- Higher insurance costs or tougher renewal questions
- Stress and burnout for you and your staff
- Weeks or months spent untangling the mess
Many of these costs can be reduced—or avoided—by putting simple protections in place ahead of time.
The Good News: Simple Steps Go a Long Way
You don’t need fancy tools or a huge budget. A handful of basic, thoughtful steps can block most common attacks.
We help you put in place foundational protections, such as:
- Stronger logins and extra checks for important accounts
- Reasonable updating habits for computers and software
- Safer email settings to catch common scams
- Reliable, tested backups stored in the right places
- Cleaner access so only the right people see sensitive data
- A simple, written checklist for “what to do if something happens”
These are common-sense protections—nothing extreme—but together they make your business a much harder target.
