Sound Familiar?
You Already Know You Need
Better Security. The Gap is
Getting it Done.
😰
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.
💸
Can't Afford Enterprise Consultants
$300-$500/hour security consultants aren't built for your budget. And free advice doesn't come with someone who helps you actually do it.
⚠️
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.
Pro Package: Example Module
Starting with ClickFix and BEC. New package every other Wednesday.
PART ONE
Threat Brief
Plain-English breakdown of the threat: what it is, how attackers use it against businesses like yours, and why it matters to you. Written for a business owner, not an IT team.
What the attack looks like
Why small businesses are targeted
Statistics
Real-world examples with red flags
PART TWO
Protection Protocol
Processes your business follows to address the specific threat. No tech background required to start. Built around what you actually have, not what enterprise IT has.
Steps to implement immediately, no guessing
Guidance that addresses common attacks
Written for a business owner
Scales from a 5-person shop to 50+ employees
PART THREE
Employee Micro-Training
Short, practical guidance your team can act on. Not a 40-slide deck they'll forget. Covers the human side of each threat so your people know what to watch for and what to do.
Short enough to actually read
Covers the human behaviors attackers exploit
Clear "what to do if" guidance for your team
Share directly with employees
Pro Exclusive
Threat briefs have greater depth, attack mechanics, and real-world examples.
Where this Goes
Twelve Months from Now, You'll Have a Complete Foundational Security Program.
Built with you, not bought off the shelf.
Security tools installed and configured
A curated stack vetted for small businesses, actually in use.
An incident response plan based on your critical business processes
Know exactly what to do if something goes wrong.
Security awareness training in bite-sized nuggets
You and your team know what to watch for and what to do, no boring compliance training.
Threat protection processes in place to minimize business impact and financial risk
Written processes your team follows to address common threats.
Most small businesses never get here. Small Biz Circle Pro members can.

The ladder exists to get there.

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. Each includes the full threat brief, the protection protocol, and the employee micro-training. Ready to read and implement the day you join.

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.

Your Expert
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 the threat landscape for over a decade, I noticed the same pattern.
Small businesses are getting hit hardest because no one was helping them take action. 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.
