Sound Familiar?

You Already Know You Need
Better Security. The Gap is

Getting it Done.

🔒

One Lost Account From Disaster

Your Facebook page is your storefront. Your QuickBooks is your bank. One takeover, and you're appealing to a chatbot, a fraud line, or both, while the damage compounds.

💸

Can't Afford Enterprise Consultants

$300-$500/hour security consultants aren't built for your budget. Free advice doesn't come with someone who helps you actually do it.

😰

Overwhelmed by the Complexity

Cybersecurity advice feels like it was written for corporate IT departments, not a 15-person retail shop trying to keep the lights on.

⚠️

Knowing isn't the same as being prepared

You probably already know you should have multi-factor authentication and tested backups. The gap isn't awareness, it's having expert guidance and someone to walk you through it.

No One's Talking to You

Threat news is everywhere but none of it tells you what to do about it: in plain language, for a small business, with a clear next step you can actually take.

How it Works

You Shouldn't Need an

IT Team to Take Action

Against Real Threats.

Real Pro Package: Funds-Transfer Fraud (BEC)

Starting with fake captcha (ClickFix) and funds-transfer fraud (BEC). New package every other Wednesday.

PART ONE

Threat Brief

Plain-English breakdown: what the attack is, how it hits businesses like yours, and why you should care.

PART TWO

Protection Protocol

The written process you put in place to defend against the threat. No enterprise stack required.

PART THREE

Employee Micro-Training

Short, practical guidance your team can act on. Not a 40-slide deck they'll forget.

Pro Exclusive

Threat briefs have greater depth, breadth, and real-world examples.

Where this Goes

Twelve Months from Now, You'll Have a Complete Foundational Security Program.

Built using Center for Internet Security (CIS) IG1 Controls as the reference framework and current threat intelligence as the priority. Focused on the controls small businesses are actually getting hit on, and what cyber insurers list as essential.

Curated Security Tools

DNS filtering, password manager + multi-factor authentication, computer and email security, firewall, backups, and more. Vetted for small businesses.

Incident Response Plan

A short owner-readable plan tied to your critical business processes. Insurers list it as a recommended control. It makes recovery faster and cleaner when something goes wrong.

Training

Short, bite-sized, 6-8 slides. Your team knows what to watch for, what to do, and what not to ignore. Insurers list documented training as an essential control.

Threat Protection Processes

Protocols your team follows to defend against funds-transfer fraud (BEC), fake captcha (ClickFix), ransomware, account takeover, and more. Stronger defenses often mean better renewal terms and faster recovery when something happens.

CIS IG1 Controls informed · Cyber-insurance aligned · No software required to start

Most small businesses never get here.

Small Biz Circle Pro members do.

Common Questions

Questions Worth Answering
Before You Decide.

Do I need a tech background to use the protocols?

No. The protection protocols are written process controls: things like verification steps before any funds transfer, or a response checklist if an account gets compromised. No software required to start, no IT team needed. The technical video walkthroughs (coming soon) add the tool configuration layer for members who want it.

What are the 2 packages available on day one?

ClickFix and Business Email Compromise (BEC). Two very active threats targeting small businesses right now. Each includes the full threat brief, the protection protocol, and the employee micro-training. Ready to read and implement the day you join. A new complete package drops every other Wednesday from there.

How does the Q&A work exactly?

Post your question in Small Biz Circle Pro (Ask the Expert) about a threat you heard about, a protocol you're implementing, anything relevant to cybersecurity and your business. Derek reads every question and responds personally, typically within 24 hours. Pro-exclusive. Free members have access to the peer community.

What happens when the founding spots are gone?

ClickFix and Business Email Compromise (BEC). Two very active threats targeting small businesses right now.

Is there a contract or commitment?

No contract. Cancel anytime. Pro members also have a 14-day money-back guarantee: if it's not right for you and your business in the first 14 days, reply to your welcome email and we will refund you in full. No questions asked.

25 Years on the Front Lines. Now I'm on Yours.

My mission is simple: to give you a fighting chance.

I've been building security programs since 2001, for the DoD, Fortune 500 companies, and enterprises of every size. While tracking attacker behavior for over a decade, I noticed the same pattern.

Small businesses are getting hit hardest because the help they could get was written for IT departments, not owners. So I built Cybersecurity 4 Small Biz to change that. AI has made attacking cheaper, faster, and easier.

The volume and velocity of attacks continue to increase. The businesses without a strong security foundation are paying the price. Everyone is a target.

Questions Worth Answering

No software required to start, no IT team needed. The technical video walkthroughs (coming soon) add the tool configuration layer for members who want it.

What do I get on day one?

The full pro library is yours the moment you join, starting with fake captcha (ClickFix) and funds-transfer fraud (BEC). Two very active threats targeting small businesses. Every package includes the full threat brief, the protection protocol, and the employee micro-training. Ready to read and implement that day. A new complete package drops every other Wednesday.

Will this help me with cyber insurance?

Four ways. (1) If you have a policy: answer the renewal questionnaire honestly, possibly a lower premium. (2) If you've been declined or non-renewed: use the control set to reapply. (3) If a claim is ever filed: you have documented controls and training records. (4) If you don't carry insurance yet: the foundation makes a policy affordable.

We don't audit, certify, or sell insurance. We help you qualify for a policy.

Do you take affiliate fees from tools you recommend?

No software sales. Every tool recommendation is what I'd deploy myself, vetted for small businesses. If a vendor offers an affiliate program, members get both the affiliate link and a clean link, so the choice is yours. 25% of any affiliate revenue goes to charity along with everything else.

How does the Q&A work?

Post your question in the (Ask the Expert) channel. I read every one and answer it right there in the community, usually within one business day, so every member learns from it too. Some questions need research, and a complex one might take an extra day. I'll tell you when that's the case. Anything that crosses into an active breach, legal advice, or forensic investigation, I'll point you in the right direction. The full how-it-works post is pinned in the community.

Pro-exclusive. Free members have access to their peer community.

What happens when the founding spots are gone?

The 100 founding spots are priced at $49/mo, locked in at joining. Once they fill, the price moves to $59/mo for the next 400 spots, also locked in at joining. Whatever price you join at is your price locked in. It never increases for existing members, as long as you stay a member.

How do you use Center for Internet Security (CIS) Controls IG1?

IG1 is our reference framework, the Center for Internet Security's foundational safeguards. We don't map every safeguard one-for-one. Threat-informed defense drives the priorities: what's actually losing small businesses money - BEC, ransomware, account takeover, ClickFix. You get the protocols and tools that address threats. Sometimes that means a CIS safeguard. Sometimes it means going above. The goal is stronger where it matters, not compliance for the sake of compliance.

Is there a contract or commitment?

No contract. Cancel anytime. Pro members also have a 14-day money-back guarantee: if it's not right for you and your business in the first 14 days, reply to your welcome email and we will refund you in full. No questions asked.
