Small office security checkup

These are the eight gaps we find most often when we first look at a small office. Answer honestly. Your score and fix list update as you go.

This checkup runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you answer is sent, stored or tracked.

Does everyone sign in to email with a second step, like a code or an app prompt?

A password alone is a key anyone can copy. The second step is the deadbolt. Start with email, because email can reset every other password.

Have you restored a file from your backups in the last three months?

A backup you have never restored is a spare tire you have never checked. Test it before the day you need it.

Do your computers and phones install updates automatically?

Updates patch holes that attackers already know about. Every postponed update is a window left open.

Has your team had phishing training in the past year?

Many break-ins start with an email that looks routine: an invoice, a shipping notice, a password reset. People who have seen real examples spot them faster.

Does each person have their own login, with no shared passwords?

With shared logins you cannot tell who did what, and one leak opens everything. A password manager makes unique passwords painless.

Is your guest Wi-Fi separate from the network your office computers use?

Guests on your main network sit in the same room as your files. A guest network is a waiting room with its own door.

When someone leaves, is all of their access removed the same day?

Old accounts are keys that were never returned: email, shared drives, apps, the alarm code and the Wi-Fi password.

Are your laptops encrypted, so a lost one does not expose your files?

Encryption scrambles the drive for anyone without the sign-in. A laptop left in a rideshare becomes lost hardware, not readable files.

Any answer of no or not sure is worth fixing. The note under each question tells you why and where to start.

What we look after, grouped by what it protects

Good small business IT is not one product. It is a set of habits kept up every week across three things: the people who sign in, the devices they use and the data your office cannot rebuild. We also handle the everyday support that keeps a front desk moving, from new computers and printers to the question that cannot wait.

People

Many break-ins start with a person, not a machine.

  • Accounts and access

    One login per person, the right permissions for each role, and access removed the day someone leaves.

  • Multi-factor sign-in

    A second step on email, banking and business apps, set up so it protects you without slowing the day down.

  • Password manager

    Strong, unique passwords your team can actually use, with shared folders for the logins a team needs.

  • Phishing awareness

    Short, practical training with real examples, and an easy way to report an email that feels off.

Devices

Every laptop, phone and router is a door into the office.

  • Computers and phones

    Setup, standard security settings and ongoing care for Windows, Mac and the phones your team uses for work.

  • Updates and patching

    Operating systems, browsers and apps kept current on a schedule, not whenever someone remembers.

  • Encryption and threat protection

    Drives encrypted, and business-grade protection watching every machine for malware and ransomware.

  • Network and Wi-Fi

    Firewall, office Wi-Fi and a separate guest network, on equipment that handles a full waiting room.

Data

The files, email and records you could not rebuild from memory.

  • Backups

    Automatic backups of computers, shared files and cloud email, with a copy kept where ransomware cannot reach it.

  • Tested recovery

    Regular test restores, so we know your backups work and how long getting back to work really takes.

  • Email security

    Filtering for phishing and impersonation, plus the domain records that prove your email is really from you. How we set up business email

  • Your website

    The site is data too. Secure hosting, updates and backups keep it from becoming the easy way in. About our website hosting

HIPAA-aware IT for medical and dental offices

Patient information raises the stakes. HIPAA expects offices to protect it with administrative, physical and technical safeguards. We handle the technical side and help you keep the records that show the work was done.

HIPAA-aware means we build with these rules in mind from day one. It is not a certification, and nobody can sell you compliance as a product. Your policies, training and legal review stay with your practice and its advisors.

Law firms and med spas get the same discipline for confidential client files. Thinking about AI tools around patient data? See how we approach AI

Access controls
Unique logins, role-based permissions and automatic screen locks, so each person sees only what their job needs.
Audit trails
Sign-in and access logs turned on and kept, so you can answer who opened what, and when.
Business associate agreements
A signed BAA with every vendor that touches patient data, from email and backups to phones. We help you keep track of which ones you have.
Encrypted devices
Laptops, phones and backups encrypted, so a lost device is far less likely to turn into a privacy incident.

When something goes wrong

A clicked link. A ransom note on the screen. A laptop left in a rideshare. The first hour shapes everything after it, so this is the sequence we follow, every time.

  1. Call us

    Tell us what you see. Do not wipe anything and do not pay anyone. We start working with you while you are still on the phone.

  2. Contain

    We disconnect affected machines, reset exposed passwords and lock the accounts involved, so the problem stops spreading.

  3. Recover

    We restore files and systems from clean backups and check that everything works before your team gets back to it.

  4. Fix the cause

    We find out how it got in, close that door and write down what happened, including anything you may need to report.

If you think something is wrong right now

  • Disconnect the computer from Wi-Fi or unplug its network cable. Leave it powered on.
  • Do not pay a ransom and do not reply to the sender.
  • Take a photo of the screen and note the time you noticed it.
  • Call us, or whoever handles your IT today, before trying to fix it yourself.

IT and security questions, answered

We are a small office. Would anyone really target us?

Most attacks are automated. They scan for weak passwords, missing updates and open doors, and they do not check the size of the business first. Small offices get hit precisely because the basics are often missing.

Do you replace the person who helps us with IT today?

Not necessarily. We often work alongside whoever helps you now, or take over fully if that is easier for you. Either way, we document your setup so no one person is the only one who knows it.

What happens if we get hit by ransomware?

We isolate the affected machines, restore from backups the attacker could not reach and close the way in. Recovery depends on having backups that were tested before the attack, which is why testing them is part of our routine.

Can you make us HIPAA compliant?

No one can sell compliance as a product, and anyone who promises it is overselling. We set up HIPAA-aware systems, handle the technical safeguards, help with your security risk assessment and track your vendor agreements. Policies, training and legal review stay with your practice and its advisors.

Is the checkup on this page a full security assessment?

No. It covers eight basics that matter in almost every small office. A real review looks at your actual devices, accounts, backups and network, and it usually finds things a questionnaire cannot.

Do you support both Mac and Windows?

Yes, both, plus the phones and tablets your team uses, Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, and the printers nobody else wants to touch.

Do you work on-site or remotely?

Mostly remotely, because it is faster for you. For jobs that need hands on the hardware, like new equipment, network or Wi-Fi work, ask us about an on-site visit.

Can you work with the software we already use?

Usually, yes. We support offices running practice management, dental, legal and point of sale software. For problems inside a vendor's product, we work with their support team so you do not have to sit on hold.
