Small teams can get strong protection quickly by standardizing device controls and automating updates.
Baseline Controls
- MFA for email, VPN, and admin consoles; block legacy authentication.
- Disk encryption on laptops; enforce screen lock under 5 minutes.
- MDM policies to manage Wi-Fi, certificates, and app allowlists.
Patch & Protect
- Automate OS and browser updates; quarantine devices older than 30 days.
- Deploy EDR with behavioral detections; alert to a shared inbox/Slack.
- Remove local admin where possible; elevate via just-in-time access.
Email & Web Hygiene
- SPF/DKIM/DMARC on all domains; flag external senders.
- Safe links/attachments where available; block high-risk file types.
- Phishing simulations quarterly; track click and report rates.
Response Basics
- Isolate the device (network block or EDR containment).
- Collect triage data: processes, autoruns, recent downloads.
- Rebuild from gold image; reset creds and review MFA activity.
