About this support
NCSC's SME CORE site publishes free cybersecurity advice specifically for Irish SMEs, covering six recommended measures: identifying what matters most (key assets and data), keeping devices and software updated, implementing basic protections such as firewalls and anti-malware, turning on multi-factor authentication, backing up information regularly, and creating long, strong passwords. The guidance is also available as a downloadable PDF for businesses to keep and refer to. The wider NCSC site additionally provides an incident-reporting route for organisations that believe they have suffered a cyber attack. It is aimed at small and medium businesses wanting a practical, non-technical starting point for improving their cyber resilience.
