For small businesses
Owner-operated, no security team, and every hour spent on this is an hour not spent trading.
You have no IT department, the systems arrived one at a time as the business grew, and nobody has ever drawn the whole thing on one page.
What matters, in order
Wi-Fihigh relevance
The equipment is probably fine
The router your provider supplied is not the reason the video call broke. In a building with concrete, foil-backed insulation or steel, the signal is being absorbed long before it reaches the far room — and adding a second box on the same channel as the first can make both worse. The cheap diagnosis is to measure what the devices actually experience where people actually sit, which costs a visit rather than new hardware.
Start hereBefore buying anything, write down where and when it fails. A pattern in time or place is worth more than any speed test.
Digital identitymedium relevance
The copies you are holding are the problem
You almost certainly hold scans of driver licences and passports — collected to verify a contractor, a tenant or a customer, then never deleted. That folder is a liability with no upside: you gain nothing by keeping it and you own the consequences if it leaks. Nothing here requires you to adopt new technology this year, but it does make the cleanup worth doing now rather than after an incident.
Start hereFind every place your business stores a copy of someone else's identity document, and delete what you no longer need.
Where to start
None of this needs to be done at once, and the right first move is usually smaller than people expect. A conversation costs nothing.
