Most businesses think a cyberattack won’t happen to them, until it does.
We often hear, “We’re just a small company,” or “We don’t have anything worth stealing.” Unfortunately, that’s exactly why cybercriminals target small and medium-sized businesses. They know defences are often lower, awareness is patchy, and budgets are tight.
At Johnson Technical Systems, we help businesses shift from reactive to proactive cybersecurity. Because waiting for something to go wrong is not a strategy, it’s a risk.
🔍 Why Small Businesses Are Big Targets
Cyberattacks on SMEs are rising every year. In many cases, hackers don’t even need to target you directly. They scan the web for exposed devices, weak passwords, unpatched systems, or vulnerable email accounts — and act fast when they find them.
Common entry points include:
Reused or weak passwords
Phishing emails to unsuspecting staff
Outdated operating systems
Insecure third-party apps
Even one compromised endpoint or login can lead to data theft, ransomware, business downtime, or reputational damage.
🧠 Prevention Is Always Better Than Cure
Cybersecurity is like insurance — only more important. Insurance helps after the damage is done. Cybersecurity stops it from happening in the first place.
Here’s how we help businesses take a proactive approach:
✅ Cyber Security Assessments
We run a detailed review of your current systems, controls, risks, and user behaviour. The result is a plain-English report with clear, actionable steps.
✅ Managed Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR)
This is next-generation antivirus. It monitors all activity on your devices, flags suspicious behaviour, and responds to threats in real time.
✅ Ongoing Monitoring & Alerts
We keep eyes on your infrastructure around the clock — so you don’t have to.
✅ Cybersecurity Awareness Training
Staff learn how to spot phishing emails, social engineering attempts, and common scams through short, interactive videos and simulated attacks.
In short: we help you spot gaps and close them before an attacker finds them first.
🔗 Are Your Suppliers Putting You at Risk?
Cybersecurity isn’t just about your systems. It’s also about who you work with.
From cloud apps and payment processors to outsourced services and logistics platforms — every third-party connection creates a potential doorway into your business.
If your supplier’s systems are hacked, could that affect your data? If your cloud storage provider is compromised, are your files at risk?
This is called supply chain risk — and it’s becoming one of the biggest cybersecurity threats for SMEs in 2025.
🔐 How We Help Manage Vendor Risk
We work with businesses to:
Identify and map their digital supply chain
Apply the principle of least privilege — only giving vendors the access they truly need
Set up multi-factor authentication and role-based access controls
Separate and protect sensitive data
Monitor third-party access activity
By locking down how vendors interact with your systems, we reduce the chance that a weak link breaks the chain.
📈 Cyber Resilience = Business Resilience
Your business doesn’t just need to survive cyber threats; it needs to stay confident, compliant, and operational no matter what.
That’s why cyber resilience is about more than firewalls and antivirus. It’s about:
Training your staff
Managing your digital supply chain
Monitoring your systems
Planning your response
Getting expert support
We help businesses build all five layers — and keep them strong as you grow.
