Cybersecurity for small and mid-sized businesses
Most attacks on small businesses start with an email, a reused password or an unpatched computer. We close those gaps with layered protection sized for your company and budget.
The layers we put in place
No single product stops every attack. We stack practical protections so one mistake does not become a crisis.
Endpoint protection
Antivirus and endpoint detection and response (EDR) on every computer and server, watched for threats.
Firewall and network protection
SonicWall firewalls configured, updated and monitored, with secure VPN for remote staff.
Email security
Spam and phishing filtering, plus SPF, DKIM and DMARC so criminals cannot easily send mail as your domain.
Multi-factor sign-in
A second step at login for email, Microsoft 365, VPN and admin accounts, which stops most stolen-password attacks.
Backup and recovery
Local and offsite backups with restores that are tested, so you know you can get your files back.
Updates and patching
Operating systems, browsers and common applications kept current on a schedule.
Security awareness
Short, practical training so staff can spot fake invoices, payment requests and login pages.
Access reviews
Regular checks on who can see which files and systems, including former employees and vendors.
Security guided by credentialed people
Our team includes a CISSP-certified consultant, the security certification held by experienced information security professionals. That experience shapes how we set up every client, not just the ones who ask about security.
We also help with the paperwork side of security: answering cyber insurance applications, filling out vendor security questionnaires from larger customers, and writing simple policies your staff will actually read.
Think you have been hacked?
Call (517) 242-6500 right away. Disconnect the affected computer from the network, but do not turn it off or wipe it. Do not pay a ransom or reply to the attacker. The faster we start, the more we can usually recover.
Frequently asked questions
Are small businesses really targets for cyberattacks?
Yes. Most attacks are automated and aim at whoever is easiest to get into, not whoever is biggest. Small businesses are attractive because they often have weaker defenses, and email scams that redirect invoice payments hit companies of every size.
What is the difference between antivirus and EDR?
Traditional antivirus looks for known bad files. Endpoint detection and response (EDR) also watches behavior, such as a program suddenly encrypting files, and can stop and isolate the computer. We recommend EDR for most business computers.
Can you help with our cyber insurance application?
Yes. Insurers commonly ask about multi-factor authentication, backups, endpoint protection and employee training. We can help you answer accurately and close any gaps before renewal.
What are SPF, DKIM and DMARC?
They are email settings that prove messages from your domain are really from you. Without them, it is easier for criminals to impersonate your company, and your legitimate email is more likely to land in spam.
