Find the gaps before
attackers do.
Most small businesses have no idea what's exposed on their network. A security audit finds the vulnerabilities and fixes them — before they become a breach.

What we cover
Security that actually protects you.
Security audit
Full scan of your network, devices, and accounts. We document every vulnerability and prioritize them by actual risk.
Infrastructure hardening
Close the open ports, update the outdated firmware, enforce MFA, deploy a password manager — the fixes attackers actually exploit.
Incident response planning
A written plan for what to do if something goes wrong. Who calls who, what gets shut down, how you recover — before you need it.
Compliance baseline
If you handle patient data, payment cards, or financial records, we map your environment to HIPAA or PCI-DSS requirements and close the gaps.
Written security report
Everything documented in plain English. What we found, what we fixed, and what remains — useful for insurance, auditors, or your own records.
Ongoing monitoring
Monthly security check-ins, patch monitoring, and alerts when your environment changes in ways that matter.
Client Result
“I had no idea how exposed we were until they ran a security audit. They found two open ports and outdated firmware on our router that we'd had for years. Fixed it same day, no drama.”

Common questions
Is my small business really a target?
Yes — and you're often easier to hit than large companies. Attackers run automated scans looking for open ports, outdated firmware, and reused passwords. Most small business breaches aren't targeted — they're opportunistic.
What does a security audit actually involve?
We run network scans, check all device firmware and patch levels, review account access controls, test for open ports, and audit your password and authentication practices. The whole process usually takes 2–4 hours on-site.
Do you handle HIPAA compliance?
We can establish a HIPAA security baseline — technical safeguards, access controls, audit logging, and documentation. We're not attorneys and can't provide legal compliance opinions, but we handle the technical controls that make up the bulk of HIPAA's security rule.
How much does a security audit cost?
A standard small business security audit runs $400–$800 depending on size and complexity. Ongoing monitoring is available as a monthly add-on to a retainer.
What if you find something serious?
We fix critical issues immediately where possible — same-day for most network-level vulnerabilities. You'll have a written remediation report regardless. We don't just identify problems and leave.
Know where you stand.
A security audit takes a few hours and gives you a clear picture of your risk — and a path to fix it. Most findings are resolved same day.
