This letter arrives in the mail with a magnifying glass because sometimes, what matters most is what you can’t see.

Right now, you trust your IT company with everything: your business data, your productivity, your reputation, and even your financial stability. But is that trust well-placed?

We’re offering a FREE Cybersecurity Risk Assessment so you can take a closer look and confidently answer that question. There is no pressure and no strings attached (well, there is one catch; read on), just honest answers from a local, award-winning IT company that knows how to secure Oregon businesses.

I’m David Hodgert, co-founder of 10D Tech. My Co-Founders and I have been helping organizations sort through technology for over 30 years. We’ve turned IT from a cost center into a competitive advantage across Oregon. We’re not another vendor on call to fix it (IT) when it breaks. We operate as your outsourced IT department, with faster response, proactive solutions, always on, and high accountability built into everything we do.

We are proud to be one of Oregon’s leading outsourced IT service providers, earning national recognition as a Titan of the Industry. We hosted the Oregon Small Business Tech Day, which featured experts in business management, artificial intelligence (AI), cybersecurity, and even a Shark entrepreneur (Robert Herjavec) sharing how he built his business.

But here’s what I can assure you: Like a skilled detective, our IT team consistently uncovers significant and preventable security vulnerabilities during our audits. I believe that, right now, your organization likely has critical gaps in IT security and data backup and recovery … gaps that could prove costly if left unchecked.

Our expertise goes beyond simply keeping your computers running.

And here’s what we’ve learned: Over 97% of networks we assess have major gaps that their IT provider missed. These are preventable risks that leave businesses vulnerable to:

• Ransomware attacks and financial loss
• Insurance claim denials
• Long periods of unplanned downtime
• Permanent data loss
• Reputational harm

That might sound extreme. But if you think your team has it handled, you’re exactly who needs this assessment the most.

I’ll Even Put Skin in the Game
If we can’t show you meaningful security gaps or improvements and you feel we wasted your time, I’ll donate $200 to the nonprofit of your choice.

Why? Because the stakes are high. And because we’re that confident in what we’ll find.

What Your IT Provider Might Be Missing

1. "We Thought We Were Covered"
   Most CEOs are shocked by what we found. We routinely uncover outdated firewalls, poorly configured backups, unsecured remote access, and more. You don’t want to find out the hard way that your IT provider missed something.
2. Insurance Claim Denied
   Cyber insurance policies often require specific security protocols. If those aren’t in place, even if you thought they were, your claim can be denied. We’ve seen it happen.
3. Downtime You Don’t Know You’re Paying For
   Chronic IT glitches, lagging systems, and recurring help desk tickets are more than annoying. They quietly eat away at your productivity, frustrate your staff, and cost you money. We help eliminate those issues so your team can focus on actual work.
4. Phishing Is Still the #1 Way Hackers Get In
   Your entire business is vulnerable if your staff isn’t trained and protected against phishing threats. Our audit checks your exposure and provides a clear plan to lock it down.

Let’s Make This Easy

Schedule your Free IT Security Assessment today. It takes less than 15 minutes to get started:

• Book a call online at: www.10dtech.com/discoverycall
• Call our offices: (541) 243-4103 or (971) 915-9103 (Portland/Salem)
• Email me directly: dave@10dtech.com
• We’ll call you this week to ensure you receive this letter, and you can schedule then.

This assessment is valued between $10,000 and $30,000. It can be conducted entirely remotely without involving your current IT provider, or we can include them in the process. If they choose to participate, we’ll provide a professional and constructive review of the systems they manage, highlighting areas that need improvement, attention, or upgrades.

Here is the one important catch: As the business decision-maker, we ask that you participate in the results meeting. The insights uncovered during this assessment often go beyond technical fixes and involve business risk, operational continuity, and liability. Your involvement ensures that nothing gets lost in translation and that any next steps reflect your company’s best interests.

We’ll answer questions like:

• Are there gaps in your current cybersecurity protections?
• Is your backup system actually restorable in an emergency?
• Are your users trained and protected against phishing threats?
• Are you fully compliant with your cyber insurance policy?

Fresh eyes find what others miss.

The worst that can happen is that we donate $200 to a great cause. The best? You gain clarity, peace of mind, and a real plan to move forward with confidence.

Looking forward to hearing from you,
