Security Basics

Know what needs attention

Review updates, access, network boundaries, and recovery readiness.

Review usually covers

  • Core firewall, switch, and access point firmware review
  • Admin access, shared credential, and MFA review
  • Microsoft 365 and identity basics review
  • Remote access and VPN review
  • Unsupported or aging hardware risk review
  • Backup coverage and recovery readiness

Common findings

  • Old networking gear that quietly fell behind support
  • Former vendors or staff with lingering access
  • Shared admin accounts and missing MFA
  • Flat networks where guest and business traffic mix too freely
  • No clear patching rhythm for core infrastructure
  • Backups that exist in theory but not in a tested, usable way
