Cybersecurity
A security conversation is easier when it stays with the controls that decide whether the business can keep operating.
This note does not score your organisation, and it does not say MergeIT holds a certification. It is the list we use to keep an assessment in business language.
The controls to understand first
Identity is who can sign in, and to what. Shared logins and unused accounts are usually the first place a growing business is more open than it thinks.
Email is still how money and files move. Protection matters, and so does the habit of what people do when a message looks almost right.
Devices are the other half of sign-in. A trusted person on an unknown laptop is a different risk from a managed one.
Backup is only useful if you know what you could restore. Monitoring is how you notice that something changed. An assessment should put these in an order, not hand you a catalogue.
