Happy Small Business Month!
This Month At Lockwell
May 5, 2025
May is Small Business Month — and we want to take a moment to say what we don’t say often enough:
You’re doing something incredible.
You’re building jobs, creating value, serving your community, and solving real problems — all while navigating an unpredictable world and wearing every hat in the closet.
At Lockwell, we work with small businesses every day. We see how hard you work.
And we know how often cybersecurity gets pushed to the bottom of the list — not because it isn’t important, but because you’re already handling so much.
This month, we want to make cybersecurity feel a little more doable.
And a lot more aligned with your goals.
You’ve Figured Out So Much On Your Own — But Cybersecurity Deserves a Better Plan
If you’ve been handling cybersecurity yourself — you're not alone.
It’s incredibly common for small business owners to DIY their protection:
A few strong passwords here
A free antivirus tool there
Maybe some advice from a tech-savvy friend
And honestly? That was smart.
In the early days, doing something was better than doing nothing.
But as your business grows, those pieced-together solutions stop being enough.
You’re hiring more people. Handling more data. Chasing bigger opportunities.
Cybersecurity can’t be an afterthought anymore.
It has to grow with you.
And that’s where we come in.
Why Now Is the Right Time to Get Serious About Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity isn’t just about preventing bad things.
It’s about protecting what you’ve built, earning trust with the people you serve, and setting your business up to grow stronger.
Today, bigger clients, partners, and investors are looking at cybersecurity as a key part of doing business — and small businesses that can prove they take security seriously are winning the opportunities that others miss.
Whether you're:
Trying to land your next big contract,
Hiring your first employees,
Handling sensitive customer or financial data,
Or just ready to sleep better at night...
...now is the time to move from good intentions to strong protection.
5 Small Changes That Can Make a Big Impact
If you’re not sure where to start, here are five quick wins from our blog series this month:
Use a password manager to stop reusing logins across tools
Turn on multi-factor authentication (MFA) everywhere you can
Update all your devices and apps — it matters more than you think
Audit who has access to your accounts and systems
Schedule a cybersecurity risk assessment to find your biggest gaps
These steps don’t take much time — but they show clients, partners, and cybercriminals alike that you take protection seriously.
