Free Cyber Action Toolkit

Published on: 29th October 2025

The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), part of GCHQ, has launched a free Cyber Action Toolkit to help sole traders and small businesses strengthen their online security.

With 42% of small businesses reporting cyber breaches in 2024, the toolkit offers simple, tailored steps to protect against common threats. It provides personalised guidance, progress tracking and practical actions suited to different business sizes.

It’s a great starting point for businesses looking to boost resilience and work towards Cyber Essentials – the government-backed certification for cyber security. Access the toolkit: https://cybertoolkit.service.ncsc.gov.uk/personalise
