💼 Why Solopreneurs Need Enterprise-Level Protection (Without the Price Tag)

As a consultant, coach or creative professional, your business runs on trust. Clients rely on you to protect their strategies, finances, and sensitive information. But what happens when your inbox, cloud storage or laptop is compromised?

The truth? Small businesses are often targeted more than big ones — because attackers assume your defences are weaker.

That’s why at Covenant Defence, we provide enterprise-grade cybersecurity tailored for solopreneurs. No huge IT team needed — just a smart, layered strategy.

🧠 The Real Risks Facing Solo Professionals

Think you’re too small to be targeted? Think again.

  • Email compromise – Hackers hijack your email to send fake invoices to clients.

  • Ransomware – One malicious attachment can lock down your files and demand a payout.

  • Cloud storage leaks – Weak passwords and no MFA? Your IP could be exposed.

  • Phishing scams – Clever attacks can trick you into giving away passwords or installing malware.

  • Client data breaches – Privacy laws (like the Australian Privacy Act) make YOU responsible.

🚀 What You Really Need as a Solopreneur

Good news — you don’t need a corporate budget, just a clear plan.

At Covenant Defence, we secure consultants, creatives, and coaches with:

✅ Affordable

✅ Non-technical

✅ Scalable cybersecurity solutions

🔐 1. Secure Your Devices with Endpoint Protection

Your laptop is your livelihood. We protect it with SentinelOne’s AI-powered security, which:

  • Blocks ransomware in real-time

  • Detects suspicious activity

  • Isolates infected devices

  • Rolls back your system if something goes wrong

➡️ This isn’t antivirus — it’s next-gen defence.

🛡️ 2. Strengthen Passwords & Identity

Most solo pros use dozens of tools — Canva, Stripe, Notion, Gmail, socials… but reused passwords = big risk.

We’ll help you:

  • Set up Proton Pass (secure password manager)

  • Turn on Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) everywhere

  • Audit your digital footprint to reduce exposure

➡️ Ditch the sticky notes and spreadsheets.

☁️ 3. Protect Your Cloud & Communications

Your “office” lives in the cloud. We harden it with:

  • Strong MFA and access policies

  • Encrypted email via ProtonMail or Proton Business Suite

  • Backups to secure, private storage

  • Cloud security audits for misconfigurations

👨‍🏫 4. Training That Makes Sense

Cybersecurity = behaviour.

We provide clear, non-jargony training to help you:

  • Spot phishing

  • Avoid sketchy apps and tools

  • Respond if your accounts get compromised

  • Meet client expectations for data security

➡️ Simple, practical, and human-focused.

💼 5. Work Securely from Anywhere

Frequent café trips or travel? That increases risk.

We help you:

  • Use ProtonVPN on public Wi-Fi

  • Secure your phone and laptop

  • Avoid travel scams and theft

  • Keep your business running even when things go wrong
