Most cyber attacks on small businesses are not sophisticated. They are mass, automated attacks looking for open doors. With the right measures in place, an SME can drastically reduce its exposure without needing a large-enterprise budget.

What this service includes

Initial security audit. A complete review of your infrastructure: servers, workstations, network, backups, password policies and remote access. You receive a report with findings prioritised by risk and a realistic action plan.

System hardening. Secure configuration of Linux servers following recognised standards (CIS Benchmarks). Unnecessary services disabled, privilege management, SSH configuration, fail2ban, automatic security updates.

Access and password management. Deployment of password managers such as Bitwarden, activation of two-factor authentication (2FA), rotation policies and role-based access control.

Protection against ransomware. A combined strategy of offline backup, network segmentation, early detection and a documented response plan for worst-case scenarios.

Basic staff training. Practical sessions on phishing, email handling and secure password management. The human factor is usually the weakest link.

Who is this service for

Freelancers, professional practices, small businesses and SMEs that handle sensitive data (clients, finances, intellectual property) and want to protect it without hiring a full security department.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a security audit take?

It depends on the size of the infrastructure. For an SME with one server and 10–20 workstations, the initial audit typically takes 2–3 days. The report and action plan are delivered the following week.

Does my business need to comply with GDPR?

If you process personal data of clients or employees, yes. Although this service is not legal consultancy, the technical measures we implement are part of what GDPR and the Spanish LOPDGDD require.

Do you also work with Windows?

My speciality is Linux and networking, but security is a holistic approach. I assess your entire environment and collaborate with Windows specialists where required.

How much does it cost?

Every case is different. After an initial no-obligation conversation, I prepare a fixed-price quotation tailored to your situation and budget. I do not work with mandatory annual contracts.
