NCSC Cyber Toolkit

This pack has been created to help you amplify and promote NCSC’s new
online service – the Cyber Action Toolkit, which is designed to help sole
traders and small businesses take their first steps in cyber security.

Small businesses are often at risk from cyber threats, but many don’t have
the time, resource, or specialist knowledge to deal with them.

The Cyber Action Toolkit provides small businesses with clear, bite-sized
actions to work through at their own pace, helping protect their business’s
money and reputation from cyber criminals.

Inside this pack you’ll find:
Details about the service – what the Cyber Action Toolkit is and why it
matters.
The ask – how you can help us spread the word.
Assets – ready-to-use wording and images for different channels, from
social media to newsletters.
Our aim is to make it simple for you to get involved and help small
businesses become more resilient. Thank you for being part of this effort.
