Take a Closer Look:

Is Your IT Provider (or lack of) Leaving You Exposed?

What you cannot see in your IT can quietly drain six figures from your business.

You’re holding a magnifying glass for a reason:
What you can’t see in your IT could cost you your business.

If you run a 10 to 50 employee company, you sit in the most targeted segment in America.

You are large enough to be profitable.
Small enough to lack internal security oversight.
Busy enough to assume your IT provider is handling it.

That assumption is expensive.

Right now, someone has administrative control over your systems, backups, security configuration, and access to your data.

The real question is simple:

Is it verified, or is it assumed?

That is why we are offering a Free IT Reality Check, our Cybersecurity Risk Assessment, specifically for growing Oregon companies in the 10 to 50 employee range.

No pressure. No long term contract. No obligation. Just good information and clarity

For more than 30 years, we have helped business owners reduce risk, control downtime, and turn technology from a liability into an asset.

We do not wait for systems to fail.

We prevent the failure.

I’ll Even Put Skin in the Game
If we complete this assessment and you believe we found nothing meaningful or wasted your time, I will personally donate $200 to the nonprofit of your choice.

If we find gaps, you gain clarity.

If we do not, you gain confirmation.

Either way, you are in a stronger position than before.

Our expertise goes beyond simply keeping your computers running.

The Financial Reality Most Owners Never See

Let’s talk math.

If you have:

• 15 employees averaging $30 per hour
• A conservative burden rate of 1.3
• Just 3 hours of unplanned downtime

That is:

15 × $30 × 1.3 × 3 = $1,755 in labor alone.

That does not include:

• Lost revenue
• Missed deadlines
• Client dissatisfaction
• Overtime recovery
• Reputation damage

Now multiply that by 4 to 6 incidents per year.

You are easily looking at $7,000 to $12,000 in hidden productivity loss annually.

And that is assuming nothing catastrophic happens.

If ransomware hits?

The average recovery cost for small and mid sized businesses now ranges from $50,000 to $250,000 when you include downtime, remediation, legal exposure, and lost contracts.

Most 10 to 50 employee firms do not survive a major breach without serious financial strain.

What We Consistently Find

Over 97 percent of the 10 to 50 employee networks we assess have material security gaps.

Not theoretical risks. … Real exposure.

Common findings include:

• Backup systems that have never been tested for full restoration
• Firewall configurations that are outdated
• Excess administrative privileges
• Incomplete phishing protections
• Security controls that do not meet insurance requirements

These are preventable problems.

They simply go unverified.

Let’s Make This Easy: What This Assessment Delivers

This is not a sales presentation.

It is a Level 1 security review designed to answer one question:

Are you financially exposed?

We will present a “specific to you” assessment with:

• A clear outline of risk areas
• A breakdown of business impact
• Insurance alignment review
• Backup and restoration validation
• Phishing exposure analysis
• A prioritized action roadmap

A comprehensive review like this typically runs between $10,000 and $30,000.

We are offering this Level 1 review at no charge for qualified 10 to 50 employee companies.

It is remote.
It is non disruptive.
It can include or exclude your current IT provider.

The Real ROI

If this assessment prevents:

• One ransomware event
• One denied insurance claim
• Or even 10 hours of cumulative downtime

The return on time invested is exponential.

Fifteen minutes to start the process.

Potentially tens of thousands preserved.

That is rational risk management.

The Only Requirement

If you are the owner or financial decision maker, we ask that you attend the results meeting.

The findings affect liability, continuity, and capital risk.

They should not be filtered through a technician.

We will answer questions such as:

• Are your backups truly restorable?
• Are your protective controls insurance compliant?
• Is your team properly shielded against phishing?
• Are you paying for coverage that may not pay out?

Fresh eyes find what internal familiarity misses.

Let’s Keep This Simple

It begins with a 15 minute conversation.

If we are not a fit, we will say so.

If we are a fit, this could protect six figures in enterprise value over the next few years.

We have hosted statewide cybersecurity and business technology events.

Recognition matters less than results.

If you run a 10 to 50 employee company, you do not need more IT noise.

You need verified protection and financial clarity.

Best case? You walk away with clarity, control, and a clear next step.

Looking forward to hearing from you
