What this site is
SME Digital Advisor is a reference site for non-technical business owners. Most cyber and IT advice is written for the IT person, not the person paying for IT. This site fills that gap.
Use it to identify what worries you (Risks), know what to do when something happens (Scenarios), copy ready-made policies (Policies & Starters), understand web-app risk (OWASP), study with flashcards (Flashcards), and find external advice (Resources).
Who runs it
Written and maintained by Andrew Rea & Associates, an independent technical architecture and cyber-security consultancy.
How to use the site
- Browse Risks by theme.
- If something happened, jump to a Scenario.
- Copy a policy starter.
- If you have a website or customer portal, work through OWASP Top 10.
- Use Flashcards to test understanding.
- Check Glossary for jargon.
- Bookmark Resources.
