How We Help Small Businesses
Security Risk Assessment
A plain-language assessment of your current security posture — what you have, what you're missing, and what to fix first based on your specific business risks.
Phishing Awareness Training
Simulated phishing campaigns and interactive training that teach your employees to recognize and report social engineering attacks — your last line of defense.
Security Policy Development
Practical, enforceable security policies tailored to your business — acceptable use, password management, incident response, and remote work guidelines.
Endpoint & Network Hardening
Configuration review and hardening of your workstations, routers, firewalls, and cloud services to close common attack vectors without disrupting operations.
Cloud Security Review
Audit of your Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, or cloud storage environment for misconfigured sharing, weak authentication, and data exposure risks.
Incident Response Planning
A documented, tested incident response plan so your team knows exactly what to do when — not if — a security incident occurs.
Our Approach
Discovery Call
We learn about your business, your industry, the data you handle, and your current security posture — no jargon, no pressure.
Risk Assessment
We identify your most critical assets and the realistic threats against them, then prioritize recommendations by impact and ease of implementation.
Remediation & Implementation
We work alongside your team — or handle it ourselves — to implement the controls that matter most, on a timeline that works for your business.
Ongoing Support
Security isn't a one-time project. We offer retainer-based support, quarterly check-ins, and on-call guidance as your business grows and threats evolve.
