Cybersecurity for SMBs: audit and protection | Bloonde Soluciones Tecnológicas

SMBs are the preferred target of cyberattacks: they hold valuable data but have less protection than large enterprises. A ransomware attack, a data breach or unauthorised access can shut down the business for days and cause irreparable reputational damage.

Cybersecurity for SMBs does not require million-dollar budgets. With an initial audit, proportionate protection measures and continuous monitoring, you can dramatically reduce risk without over-investing.

At Bloonde we offer cybersecurity services tailored to the size and budget of each company, covering everything from the initial assessment to incident response.

Cybersecurity audit and protection for SMBs

The problem it solves

Many SMBs believe cybersecurity is a problem for large enterprises. Yet 60 % of SMBs that suffer a severe cyberattack close within the following 6 months. Attackers look for easy targets, and unprotected SMBs are exactly that.

Without a risk assessment, security policies or monitoring, an SMB does not know what vulnerabilities it has or how exposed it is — until it is too late.

False sense of security

Having antivirus and a firewall is not enough. Without a real risk assessment you don't know what vulnerabilities exist in your infrastructure.

Employees as an attack vector

Phishing and social engineering are the most common entry point. Without training, any employee can compromise the company's security.

Inadequately protected data

Customer data, contracts, financial information and intellectual property without encryption, access control or verified backup.

Regulatory non-compliance

GDPR, ENS and sector-specific regulations require security measures that many SMBs have not implemented.

No incident response plan

When a security incident occurs, the company does not know what to do, whom to call or how to contain the damage.

How it works

We implement a cybersecurity programme in 4 phases:

01

Security audit

We evaluate your infrastructure, systems, access controls, policies and regulatory compliance. We identify vulnerabilities and prioritise risks by impact.

02

Remediation plan

We design a prioritised improvement plan: urgent measures, medium-term enhancements and strategic recommendations. Each measure has estimated cost and benefit.

03

Protection deployment

We deploy security measures: firewall configuration, access policies, encryption, secure backups, employee training and response procedures.

04

Monitoring and continuous improvement

Continuous threat monitoring, periodic vulnerability reviews, phishing simulations and measure updates as the threat landscape evolves.

Key benefits

Know your real risk level

The audit tells you exactly where you are exposed and the probability and impact of each risk. Decisions based on data, not assumptions.

Protection proportional to your company

You don't need the same measures as a bank. We implement security proportionate to your size, sector and budget.

Employees as the first line of defence

Training and phishing simulations that turn your employees into an active shield against social engineering attacks.

Regulatory compliance

GDPR, ENS and sector-specific regulations covered with evidence and documentation for audits.

Incident response plan

Clear procedures to contain, eradicate and recover from a security incident, minimising the impact.

Peace of mind for management

Periodic reporting on security status, managed incidents and risk evolution.

Technologies and tools

Vulnerability scanners

Professional tools to detect vulnerabilities in networks, servers and applications automatically and periodically.

EDR (Endpoint Detection & Response)

Advanced endpoint protection that detects and responds to threats in real time, beyond traditional antivirus.

SIEM / Security logs

Collection and correlation of security events to detect attack patterns and suspicious activity.

Phishing simulation

Controlled phishing campaigns to assess and improve employee awareness against social engineering attacks.

Case study: dental clinic with sensitive data

Scenario

A dental clinic with 3 locations and 50 employees stored patient records on a local server without encryption, with shared passwords and no verified backup. They had never undergone a security audit.

Challenge

Assess the real risk level, implement proportionate protection measures and comply with health data protection requirements (GDPR + healthcare regulations).

Solution

We performed a full audit, implemented data encryption, password policies, network segmentation, automated backup with verification, and staff training. We documented all measures for regulatory compliance.

Frequently asked questions

Is my company too small to need cybersecurity?

No. SMBs are a frequent target precisely because they have less protection. A ransomware attack does not discriminate by size — and the impact on an SMB is proportionally greater.

How much does a security audit cost?

The cost depends on the scope: number of devices, servers, networks and applications to assess. We offer accessible basic audits for SMBs and more thorough assessments for complex environments.

Is employee training really necessary?

Yes. 90 % of successful cyberattacks begin with a human error (phishing, weak passwords). Training is the measure with the best cost-benefit ratio.

What happens if we suffer a cyberattack?

If you have contracted our incident response service, our team acts to contain the attack, eradicate the threat and restore services following the established response plan.

How do I know if I comply with GDPR?

Our audit includes a regulatory compliance assessment. We identify gaps, implement the necessary measures and generate documentation that certifies compliance.

How often should security be reviewed?

We recommend a full annual audit and quarterly vulnerability reviews. Continuous monitoring complements periodic audits.
