Clear priorities with practical next steps

What your Security Audit covers

Email security & deliverability

Protection against fake or impersonated emails, and whether your messages reliably reach inboxes.

Devices & work computers

The security and update status of laptops and work computers, including protection if a device is lost or stolen.

Cloud platforms & core tools

Whether your core business systems are set up securely to prevent unauthorised access or misuse.

Websites & social media

The security of your website, domains, and social media accounts, including anything that may be exposed publicly.

Data privacy & protection

Whether customer and business information is stored, shared, and protected across your systems.

Backups & recovery readiness

Your ability to recover important data if something goes wrong, such as ransomware or accidental deletion.

Guided by real security professionals who understand small business realities

Practical security guidance from people who’ve protected complex systems and understand the constraints small businesses operate under.

Experienced professionals, not generic advice

BrightShield is guided by real security professionals with hands-on experience protecting organisations where security truly matters.

We bring that judgement into every audit, focusing on what actually reduces risk.

Designed for how small businesses actually operate

Small businesses face real security risks, but without dedicated teams, spare time, or big budgets.

We design our guidance around that reality, prioritising clarity, sensible trade-offs, and changes that fit naturally into day-to-day operations.

Clear guidance, not a report you’re left to figure out

Security shouldn’t end with a report and a vague sense of “now what?”

We make it clear what matters and what to do next, so you can move forward with confidence.

Why small business owners choose BrightShield

We built BrightShield around the questions and concerns we hear most often.

“I knew security was important, but I didn’t know where to start.”
“Everything I found was built for big companies, not businesses like ours.”
“I just want peace of mind that nothing important was being missed.”
“I was already juggling a hundred other priorities.”
“Our business had grown, but our security hadn’t kept up.”
