Cybersecurity services for small and mid-size businesses
Attackers do not target small businesses less — they target them because the doors are easier. Most of the breaches we see start with a reused password, an unpatched plugin or an email that looked real. Fixing those is not glamorous, and it is where we start.
What we do
- Security reviewAccounts, MFA, email (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), endpoints, backups, cloud configuration, website and plugins. A written report ranked by real-world risk, not by scanner noise.
- Vulnerability assessmentAuthenticated and unauthenticated scanning of your web apps and infrastructure, with each finding verified by hand and paired with a fix.
- HardeningPassword manager rollout, MFA everywhere, least-privilege access, patching, WordPress and server lockdown, secure DNS and email configuration.
- Phishing & social engineeringSimulated campaigns with short, specific training for the people who clicked — and the mail-filtering changes that stop the next one.
- Incident response planningWho does what in the first hour, how to isolate, how to restore from backup, who to notify. Tested with a tabletop exercise.
- Compliance groundworkControls and evidence for SOC 2, HIPAA and ISO 27001 — the practical parts, before you pay an auditor.
Ground truth. We secure our own production systems and our clients’ sites daily: OAuth-gated admin access, login-activity monitoring, bot protection on public forms, encrypted off-site backups, and audits of WordPress installs where “nulled” premium plugins had introduced known vulnerabilities. We write up what we find in plain English, with the fix next to the finding.
How an engagement runs
- Scope. What systems, what level of access, what you are most worried about. Written authorization before any testing.
- Assess. Review and testing over one to three weeks depending on size. No production disruption.
- Report and fix. Findings ranked critical to low, each with a concrete remediation. We can do the fixes, or hand them to your team.
- Re-test and maintain. Verify the fixes, then optional quarterly reviews so the posture does not drift.
Frequently asked questions
We are a small company — do we really need this?
Small companies are the majority of ransomware victims because attacks are automated and look for easy targets. A one-week review that closes the obvious gaps removes you from the easy-target list.
Is this a penetration test?
A security review and vulnerability assessment covers most of what small businesses need. If you need a formal penetration test for a customer contract or audit, we scope that separately with written rules of engagement.
Will testing break anything?
No. Assessment work is non-destructive, scheduled with you, and never runs denial-of-service or data-altering tests against production.
What happens if we are already breached?
Call us. We help isolate affected systems, preserve evidence, restore from clean backups and work through notification requirements. Then we fix the root cause.
