Small Business Cybersecurity Policy Template

Quick answer

A short policy makes expectations clear for accounts, devices, data, access, updates, reporting, and recovery.

Who this is for: Small businesses that need a practical policy starting point.

What to do

  1. 01Name the systems and people covered by the policy.
  2. 02Set minimum expectations for MFA, passwords, devices, data, and reporting.
  3. 03Assign an owner and review date.
  4. 04Explain the policy to the team and update it when the business changes.

What this does not cover

A template does not make a business compliant or secure by itself. Adapt it to your systems, contracts, and legal advice.
