For small and growing businesses that want their security handled properly

Security Foundations is designed for businesses that want confidence in their security, but don’t want to spend time figuring out what to fix or how to fix it.
This service is a good fit if you:
Run a small or growing business
Don’t have a dedicated security specialist
Want security issues fixed, not just identified
Prefer practical outcomes over technical detail
Want a baseline that stands up in the real world
Many customers choose to combine the Security Audit and Security Foundations so they can move straight from clarity to action.

What Security Foundations gives you

Everything you need to move from your business from known security gaps to a strong, practical security foundation.

Real security improvements

The most important security gaps are addressed and protections are put in place across your core systems, rather than left as actions for you to implement later.

A stronger security baseline

Your business ends up in a meaningfully better security position, with sensible protections in place that reduce risk and stand up to real-world threats.

Hands-on professional delivery

Changes are implemented by someone who understands security and small businesses, with clear explanations of what’s being done.

A clear foundation to build on

You’re left with a solid baseline that makes ongoing security simpler, whether you continue with BrightShield or manage things internally over time.

What Security Foundations includes

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.

How Security Foundations works

Security Foundations is delivered as a guided, hands-on engagement focused on getting the most important security work done properly, without unnecessary disruption.

Confirm scope and priorities

We start with a short call to confirm your systems, priorities, and the areas we’ll focus on. If you’ve already completed a Security Audit, we use that directly. If not, we incorporate the necessary review as part of the engagement.

Plan the work

We identify the specific changes to be made and agree on a practical plan that fits your business, systems, and capacity.

You’ll know what’s being addressed, in what order, and why.

Implement the fixes

We carry out the agreed changes and see them through to completion.

This includes securing systems, tightening access, and putting practical protections in place across your environment.

Review what’s been done

Once the work is complete, we walk through what’s been fixed, what’s improved, and what’s now in place.

Everything is explained clearly, without unnecessary technical detail.

Leave you with a solid foundation

You’re left with a stronger, more defensible security baseline you can rely on.

From there, you can choose to maintain things internally or move into ongoing support with BrightShield.
