Life is busy and there's just so many things to remember. What tools do you use to help you keep on top of ALL the things?
It's easy to react or respond quickly to messages and the like. It's better to do that mindfully. That's why I try to Practice The Pause.
Most small business owners file IT security under “IT will handle it” and move on. But with nearly half of all cyber attacks targeting small businesses, treating security as someone else’s problem is a risk you cannot afford to take.
In this episode, Charly covers:
✅ Why IT security sits alongside building security, insurance and compliance as a core business function
✅ The staggering stat that over 40% of cyber insurance claims are denied because controls were not actually in place
✅ How your security posture directly affects your premiums, coverage terms and claim outcomes
✅ Three practical steps you can take right now: schedule regular reviews, document what is being done and know when to bring in expert help
If you would not leave your premises unlocked overnight, why leave your digital assets unprotected?

Google is quietly changing the legal terms behind reCAPTCHA, and after April 2nd, the liability for data collection shifts from Google to you as the website owner. If your site runs reCAPTCHA v3, it is already collecting visitor data on every page, and your privacy policy almost certainly does not reflect that.
In this episode, Charly covers:
✅ What the data controller and data processor roles mean for your website
✅ Why Google is handing you the legal accountability without the technical control
✅ How reCAPTCHA v3 collects data site-wide, not just on forms
✅ How to check if reCAPTCHA is active and what to update in your privacy policy
If you are running reCAPTCHA, you need to act before April 2nd or consider alternatives like Cloudflare Turnstile.

You have set up SPF, DKIM, and DMARC for your domain, but how do you know they are actually doing their job? If you are using Cloudflare for your DNS, their DMARC management dashboard gives you a clear view of who is sending email on behalf of your domain and whether those emails are passing or failing authentication.
In this episode, Charly covers:
✅Where to find DMARC reports inside your Cloudflare dashboard
✅How to read the summary table and spot failures at a glance
✅What to do when an unknown service is sending email as your domain
✅The difference between monitor, quarantine, and reject DMARC policies
✅A real example of a misconfigured Mailgun setup caught by DMARC reporting
Even if you are not the one fixing it, knowing where to look means you can hold your tech team accountable and stay on top of your email security.
