Security for small business
that makes sense

You know you should be doing more to protect your business from cyber threats. But where do you start? Security Foundations understands small business and what makes our businesses different. We will give you a clear picture of where you stand, a practical roadmap for what to do next, and guidance on how to get there.

Sound familiar?

"I know security is important, but so are so many other things in my business."

"I want to ask the right questions. But I don't know what the questions are."

"Enterprise security solutions are way too expensive and complicated for us."

"My IT guy handles things, I think. I can't say for sure if we're actually protected."

You're not alone. Most small business owners feel the same way. That's exactly why we built Security Foundations — to give you clarity and confidence without requiring a dedicated IT department.

Everything you need to understand and improve your security

Nine integrated modules that work together to give you a complete picture and a practical path forward.

Domain Security Scanning

We automatically check 15 different aspects of your domain's security — email configuration, SSL certificates, exposed services, and more. You get a clear report showing what's working and what needs attention.

Runs monthly, automatically

Email Security Testing

We will send specifically crafted test emails to see how your mail server handles potential threats. Find out if suspicious messages are being blocked or if they're landing right in your inbox where they could fool your team.

Interactive, real-world test

Foundational Assessment

Start by answering essential questions about how your business handles security basics — passwords, backups, access control, and more. Based on industry-standard controls that are critical for small businesses.

About 15 minutes

Extended Assessment

Ready to go deeper? Our extended assessment adds more questions covering advanced topics like vendor management, incident response readiness, and network security — still in plain language.

Additional 20 minutes

Based on your scan results and assessment answers, we create a personalized list of improvements — sorted by what will make the biggest difference. Check items off as you go.

For organizations that want to go deeper with expert guidance

Built by people who understand small business

Security Foundations is a service of Net Reaction, a consultancy that has spent over 20 years helping organizations understand and manage risk. We've worked with businesses of all sizes, from sole proprietors to rapidly growing companies, and we've learned what actually moves the needle for companies without dedicated IT security staff.

We built this platform because we've seen too many small businesses either ignoring security entirely (because the right guidance is hard to find) or spending money on solutions designed for enterprises ten times their size.

There is a better way, and we're excited to help you find it!

Frequently asked questions

Our 15-point scan examines your domain's email security (SPF, DKIM, DMARC records), web security (SSL certificates, TLS configuration, security headers), domain configuration (registration status, transfer lock, privacy settings), and network exposure (open ports, remote access services). You'll receive clear explanations of what each finding means and what to do about it — no technical degree required.

Your first scan runs automatically within minutes of signing up. You'll receive your initial security report by email and can access your dashboard immediately. The full security assessment typically takes 30-60 minutes to complete, and you can do it at your own pace over multiple sessions.

Each roadmap item includes step-by-step guidance written for non-technical users. Many improvements can be made by your existing IT person, contractor, or even a tech-savvy employee. For items that need professional help, we explain what kind of help to look for and what questions to ask. If you want hands-on assistance, our Facilitated Assessment option provides expert guidance directly.

Absolutely. We collect only the information necessary to provide the service — your email address, domain name, and assessment responses. We use industry-standard encryption, don't sell your data to anyone, and follow the same security practices we recommend to you. Our full privacy policy is available for review.

If you're not satisfied with our service - we'll refund you in full. That's it. If Security Foundations isn't right for your business just let us know. Likewise, you can cancel your subscription anytime and it simply won't renew at the end of the year.

Not at all. We designed Security Foundations specifically for business owners and managers, not IT professionals. Everything is explained in plain language. The assessment asks about your business practices (not technical configurations), and the roadmap items tell you what to do without assuming you know how DNS works. If you do have technical staff or contractors, they'll find the detailed information they need too.

Yes! You can delegate access to one additional person — your IT contractor, internal IT staff, or even "your brother's kid who's good with computers." They'll be able to see your security status and work through the roadmap items, while you maintain control of the account.

Most security tools are built for large organizations with dedicated IT security teams. They're expensive, complex, and generate reports full of jargon that require an expert to interpret. Security Foundations is built specifically for small businesses without those resources. We focus on what actually matters for companies your size, explain everything in plain language, and give you practical next steps you can actually take.
