In the wake of recent cyberattacks on major UK retailers including M&S, Harrods and the Co-operative, it’s more important than ever to support your team in staying vigilant online.

Hygiene guide (1)

In recent weeks, several clients have asked us directly what they can do to strengthen their cyber security at team level. These questions often come in the wake of media reports about major breaches, and it’s clear that staff awareness is a growing concern for many businesses.

That’s why we’ve created a simple, clear and non-technical Cyber Hygiene Guide, designed for your staff to use day to day. It covers practical steps they can take to help keep your business protected from phishing, data breaches, and device loss.

What’s Inside the Guide?

  • How to spot phishing emails and deep-fake voicemails
  • Why passphrases are safer than passwords (and easier to remember)
  • What to do if something seems suspicious – no blame, just quick action
  • Good habits for working remotely or on the move
  • Real-life examples your team will remember
  • Clear, human explanations (no tech speak)

“We’ve seen a real increase in clients asking how they can help their staff stay secure. This guide is a response to that. It’s short, friendly, and designed to make cybersecurity something everyone feels confident about.”
– Mark Williams, Head of Client Relations, b2b IT services (Personic is part of the b2b IT Services Group)

Why Now?

The recent breaches at household names like M&S and the Co-op show that no organisation is immune. But strong cyber hygiene at staff level remains one of the most effective ways to reduce risk. A well-informed team can stop threats at the inbox before they ever reach your systems.
