Security readiness checklist
Check your basic cybersecurity readiness before problems happen.
Use this checklist to review accounts, devices, backups, website access, hosting, staff habits, and sensitive information before requesting cybersecurity or ICT support from Necuva.
Cybersecurity areas to review
Security does not begin with expensive tools. It begins with knowing who has access, what devices are used, where data lives, how backups work, and how staff respond to risk.
- ✓List who has access to email, website, hosting, social media, systems, and devices
- ✓Remove old staff access and unused administrator accounts
- ✓Use strong passwords and multi-factor authentication where possible
- ✓Check computers, phones, routers, printers, and shared devices
- ✓Update operating systems, browsers, antivirus, and key business software
- ✓Track who owns each device and what it is used for
- ✓Identify important files, systems, emails, websites, and databases
- ✓Confirm backup location, frequency, and who can restore data
- ✓Test recovery before a problem happens
- ✓Check domain, hosting, SSL, admin users, plugins, forms, and backups
- ✓Remove unused plugins, weak passwords, and unknown admin accounts
- ✓Confirm who receives form messages and security alerts
- ✓Train staff to recognize suspicious links, payment changes, and login requests
- ✓Use approval steps for payments, procurement, supplier changes, and sensitive data
- ✓Create a simple process for reporting security concerns quickly
- ✓Know where client, student, patient, donor, supplier, or staff data is stored
- ✓Limit who can view, edit, export, or delete sensitive information
- ✓Prepare basic rules for sharing files, passwords, and documents
