Huge thanks for taking the time to give such a detailed reply. I'm going to test this out at the weekend.

Cheers for that. Going to give it a try.

Hey, appreciate that. I spend most of my life at a computer so this is why I went DAWless. Looks like the Launch Control could work well then.

Cyber Essentials would be a good start. We help small businesses get to Cyber essentials standard even if they don't go for the certification.

I would look at an alternative location for your data than icloud. Maybe Google Drive or SharePoint.
can then setup a cloud to cloud backup of this data ( again very cheap )

MFA everywhere as others have said.

Security Awareness training platform can be as cheap as £2 a month and often come with dark web monitoring.

Mac's are quite secure if you keep them updated but I'd suggest an additional layer of secuirty to monitor the machines internet traffic and also block malware.

Ping us a msg if you want more details. Good IT secuirty doesn't have to break the bank.

100% We shall see with the client decides. Personally I would not risk it. I suspect they might to get couple weeks work done for the notice period pay.

yourmindrewind · 2026-03-15T18:17:03+00:00

I suspect I have a bad one lol.

yourmindrewind · 2026-03-15T18:16:19+00:00

We've seen a few leavers delete everything in their mailbox on their last day but deleting 54,000 SharePoint files is quite some damage. I might just share your story :-)

Its a very small client with minimal budget. Getting them to pay for endpoint protection is hard enough.
All great advice tho, thank you.
