Year-End Security Checkup: Is Your System in Good Health?

“Before you wrap up the year, ask yourself — is your system strong enough?”

As the year comes to a close, many organizations are busy finalizing projects, closing budgets, and planning for the year ahead.
But amid the year-end rush, one critical task should not be overlooked — your cybersecurity health check.

Conducting a Year-End Security Checkup helps ensure that your systems are patched, your data is safe, and your team is prepared to respond to potential threats.
Think of it as your organization’s annual “digital health screening.”

Year-End Cybersecurity Checklist

• Patch & Update
  Keep all systems and software up to date with the latest patches to close known vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them.
  
• Backup Your Data
  Secure your critical data both online and offline to stay protected against ransomware and accidental data loss.
  
• Access Review
  Reassess user permissions and access rights — especially for employees who have changed roles or left the company.
  
• Remove Unused Accounts
  Deactivate old or inactive accounts to minimize potential entry points for attackers.
  
• Review Your Incident Response Plan
  Ensure your response plan is up to date and that your team knows exactly what to do in case of a cyber incident.

Don’t wait for an incident to reveal the gaps.
Being proactive today means greater resilience tomorrow.
