Quick one for everyone in here. As a member of this community, you get free early access to every episode of The Small Business Cyber Security Guy podcast, typically 24 hours before it goes public. That means you hear the breakdown first, you get first shot at the discussion, and you can bring your questions into the community before the wider audience has even pressed play. How it works: New episodes land here in the community a day ahead of release. Keep an eye on the feed (or turn on notifications) and you'll catch them as soon as they drop. Why we're doing it: This community is where the real conversations happen. If an episode raises something that applies to your business, your charity or your clients, this is the place to dig into it, and you should have the time to do that before everyone else catches up. No extra cost. No sign-up. Being here is enough. See you in the comments on the next one. 👇

Ever asked a simple cyber security question and regretted it three acronyms into the answer? You’re in the right place. Welcome to The Small Business Cyber Security Guy community. I’m Noel. I’ve spent nearly 40 years helping businesses make sense of technology, security and the decisions that come with them. Along the way, I’ve learnt that people make better decisions when someone explains the problem properly. Ideally before sending the invoice. This community gives business owners and the people they rely on a place to ask questions, share experiences and work out what deserves their attention next. Expect plain English, practical learning and the occasional raised eyebrow at industry nonsense. Our starting point is GRC Made Simple: governance, risk and compliance. Still with me? Good. The names sound more painful than the ideas. Who makes the decisions? What could upset your plans? Which rules and promises do you need to meet? Those questions touch everything from taking on a new customer to paying wages, choosing suppliers and protecting information. Our introductory course explores them through ten short lessons and a fictional plumbing business facing some very familiar decisions. You don’t need a technical background. Bring your curiosity and the questions you’ve been putting off. Let’s start with yours. Introduce yourself in the comments. Tell us what your business does and finish this sentence: “The one thing I’d like to get my head around is…” No pitch needed. No polished biography. What would make this community useful to you?
