IT security solutions that are easy to understand and live with
IT security is not about buying “as many tools as possible”. It’s about getting a pragmatic level of security that fits your risk, your everyday life and your budget.
In short, you should get:
- Protection against phishing and ransomware
- Updates/patching, encryption and endpoint protection
- Backup and a recovery plan
- Overview and documentation (so you can explain what you do and why)
SOLID IT provides IT security solutions for small and medium-sized businesses and NGO’s, combining security with operations and support so that protection is maintained and not forgotten. We help these companies, among others
Who are IT security solutions for?
This page is relevant if you:
Is an SME without its own security resource but with a need to reduce risk
Have an internal IT manager but lack time to work on security in a structured way
Have experienced (or fear) downtime, data loss or compromised accounts
Must be able to document security measures in practice (e.g. in relation to GDPR – and where relevant: NIS2)
What makes an effective IT security solution?
IT security is only strong when it’s layered and operational. Here are the elements that typically make the most impact in everyday SME life.
1. Identity and access
So the right people have access to the right things
- Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) on all critical accounts
- Clear roles and admin access (minimise who can do “everything”)
- Good onboarding/offboarding routines (so accesses don’t get stuck)
2. Devices and updates (patching, antivirus and encryption)
When devices are not updated, they become an easy entry point for attacks.
- Continuous updates/patching of Windows-based PCs and servers
- Endpoint protection (antivirus/antispam, depending on your setup)
- PC encryption (typically Windows 10 Pro+ and TPM chip)
3. Backup and restore (so you can move on quickly)
Backup is only valuable if it works when you need it.
- Backup of critical data and a recovery plan
- Recovery testing (so you know what happens in case of failure or attack)
- In relevant packages: backup of Microsoft 365 data (email, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams)
4. Monitoring and responding (when something deviates from normal)
Safety is ongoing maintenance – not a one-off task.
- PC and server monitoring (hardware/software/incidents) with a focus on prevention
- Practical incident management: what do we do if something seems “wrong”?
5.Awareness (man as the strongest or weakest link)
Many attacks start with one click.
- Simple awareness training and concrete rules in everyday life
- Focus on the most common traps: fake login pages, ‘rush’ emails, attachments

Compliance and documentation (GDPR/NIS2) – in practice
In practice, compliance is not about having a great PDF. It’s about being able to respond:
- What data is most important – and where is it located?
- Who has access – and how do we control it?
- What do we do if we are hit by an attack or crash?
SOLID IT can help translate requirements into concrete actions and routines. If you need documentation or declarations, this should be clarified in onboarding (to suit your industry and risk profile).

FAQ (IT security solutions)
Typically: updates/patching, encryption, endpoint protection, backup and a clear plan for how to handle incidents. The specific scope depends on your needs and agreement.
Yes – but it’s best to combine prevention (checks, updates, awareness) with a recovery plan so you can move quickly.
No, it isn’t. It’s often SMEs that suffer because security is not maintained. The solution just needs to fit your size and risk profile.
We can help translate requirements into concrete actions and routines. Which requirements apply to you should be clarified in a safety check.
When talking about IT security, many organisations end up asking: “What should we buy?” It’s a natural question – but the right place to start is often: “What do we need to protect – and what are the consequences if it goes wrong?” For an SME, the consequences can be very real: downtime, lost revenue, inaccessible files, breach of trust or an urgent need to recover data. That’s why it makes sense to think of IT security solutions as a combination of technology, process and human behaviour.
A practical principle is layered security. One tool can rarely stop everything, but multiple layers can stop an attack early – or at least limit the damage. A typical scenario starts with a phishing email where an employee is tricked into entering login details or opening an attachment. If there is no MFA, an attacker can get straight in. If the device is not updated, known vulnerabilities can be exploited. If there is no backup, recovery can be slow and expensive. And if there’s no plan for who does what, even a small incident can turn chaotic.
That’s why “boring” things are often the ones that create the most security: updates, access management, encryption and backup. They’re not exciting, but they work. Updates and patching close known holes. Encryption ensures that data on a lost or stolen PC is not easy to read. Backup allows you to restore operations after failure, deletion or ransomware. And access management (with MFA and clear roles) reduces the risk of one compromised account becoming a full compromise.
At the same time, security must be operational. This means not just ‘setting it up’ once, but having routines to maintain the level: who follows up, when are incidents reviewed and what do you do when something goes wrong again? In many organisations, it makes sense to combine operations, support and security in a model where security becomes part of ongoing maintenance. That way, security becomes a habit instead of a project that is never really finished.
Finally, you have to take people seriously. Awareness doesn’t have to be long courses. It can be short, concrete rules and examples: “What does a fake login page look like”, “What do we do when in doubt?”, and “Who do we contact in case of suspicion?” When employees know they can ask and that there is a simple process, the number of critical errors typically drops significantly.
A good IT security solution is therefore not just a list of products – it’s a combination of controls, routines and a collaborative approach that suits your organisation.
