Small offices face the same WiFi threats as large enterprises but often lack the security measures to defend against them. Cloudswitched makes wireless security simple, effective and affordable.
We implement security measures that are proportionate to your risk - effective enough to stop real threats without adding unnecessary complexity.
Most small-office WiFi security improvements can be implemented within a single visit, with immediate effect on your protection level.
We explain what each measure does and why it matters in plain language - no jargon, no fear tactics, just honest advice.
In a small office, everyone shares the same network. Without proper security, a compromised device - whether it is a visitor's phone or an employee's laptop - can potentially access every file, printer and system on the network. Simple, well-implemented security measures like strong encryption, network segmentation and access controls dramatically reduce this risk at a cost that even the smallest business can afford.
We assess your current WiFi configuration, identify vulnerabilities and rank them by risk. Many small offices have quick wins that deliver immediate improvement.
We do not recommend enterprise-grade solutions for a ten-person office. Our measures are practical, proportionate and designed to deliver maximum protection for minimum cost.
We provide clear guidance for your team on WiFi best practices - strong passwords, recognising rogue networks and safe BYOD behaviour.
The most common risks are weak or shared passwords, outdated firmware with known vulnerabilities, flat networks where all devices can see each other, and rogue access points brought in by staff. All of these are straightforward to fix.
WPA2 with a strong, unique passphrase is acceptable for small offices, though WPA3 is preferred where hardware supports it. The key is to avoid WPA2 with short or easily guessed passwords.
Yes, if you ever allow visitors to connect to your WiFi. A separate guest network with VLAN isolation prevents guests from accessing your files, printers and internal systems.
For a small office using WPA2-Personal, we recommend changing the password every three to six months and whenever a staff member with knowledge of the password leaves the company.
Some changes like password updates and firmware upgrades can be done remotely if your access points support cloud management. Others like VLAN configuration may require an on-site visit, particularly if your current hardware needs replacing.
