Does Your Business Know Which Systems It Depends On? (2026/767)

You can’t include a system in a security and access review if you don’t know your business is using it.

An enquiry reaches your CRM, a payment appears in your accounting system or a document moves into the right folder. You see the result, but do you know what’s making it happen and who controls the account behind it?

Everything may work perfectly until you need to change something, recover access or deal with a security problem. That’s when you may discover:

✅ The account was created in someone else’s name
➡️ The recovery email is an inbox nobody can access
⚡ MFA is connected to a phone that’s been replaced
⭐ An API key exists, but nobody knows where it’s used or what will break if it’s removed

There are lessons here for any business owner who thinks a list of known systems is enough for a security and access review.
Could you trace what happens between an input entering your business and the result appearing at the other end?

How Does Calendar Phishing Put Your Business At Risk? (2026/785)

Calendar phishing is a real thing. A meeting invite from someone you don't know inviting you to something you've never heard of, appears in your inbox.

It also appears in your calendar - but you might miss that at first.

Calendar phishing is another form of phishing and it's something Business Owners should be aware of.

Charly discusses the process today:

✅ How does it end up in your calendar automatically?
➡️ Why use a Calendar Invite?
⚡ Why deleting the email might not be enough?

How Can Technology Improve Your Cold Outreach? (2026/786)

Cold contacting can bring new customers to your business, but how you approach someone can lose you the opportunity before they’ve even considered your service. Where does technology help, and how much of the conversation would you hand over to AI?

Charly has a few thoughts about cold contacting today:

✅ What the “LinkedIn Sales Pitch” actually does.
➡️ Why the relationship matters in selling.
⚡ How technology can aid the process as much as hinder it.
⭐ Why setting the objective for your first contact matters.

There are lessons here for business owners on both sides of a sales approach, along with ways to use technology to make cold contacting less stressful and, hopefully, more rewarding.

What do you or don't you like about a cold approach?

How Do You Share Passwords Securely? (2026/784)

Password managers are useful for sharing login details, although a temporary password for a new account might not need a permanent home in one.

Sometimes the information isn’t a password at all, or the passcard’s sharing period doesn’t give the recipient enough time.

Charly’s new One Time Secret tool (thanks to onetimesecret.com) provides another way to share those details. This Walkthrough Wednesday puts it to work, with a look at:

✅ Where one-time sharing fits alongside your password manager.
➡️ How to share sensitive information you don’t want saved in a passcard.
⚡ Why one-time sharing isn’t just for passwords.
⭐ How to use One Time Secret, from creating a secret to opening the shared link.

If you need to pass sensitive details to a client or colleague, this walkthrough will help you decide whether One Time Secret suits the job.

What information do you need to share once, without keeping it on file?
