NIST publishes cybersecurity guide for businesses too small to have IT staff

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has released cybersecurity guidance tailored for solo business owners and freelancers who operate without dedicated IT staff. The resource addresses a large segment of the U.S. small business population, representing approximately 82% of the nation's 34.8 million small enterprises.

Why it matters: Solo proprietors and independent contractors lack in-house security expertise and must understand foundational protections to secure their operations and client data.
