The Security Audit Revelation

🔍 ‘We think we’re secure’ – Famous last words from a 30-person law firm.

Their security setup:
❌ Shared admin passwords (written on sticky notes)
❌ No endpoint detection or response
❌ Windows updates ‘whenever we remember’
❌ Client data stored on personal Dropbox accounts

Our 60-minute security assessment revealed multiple vulnerabilities.

The immediate fixes:

✅ Implemented multifactor authentication across all systems
✅ Deployed endpoint detection with real-time monitoring
✅ Set up automated patch management
✅ Migrated to secure SharePoint with proper access controls
✅ Conducted security awareness training for all staff

3 months later: Zero security incidents, improved compliance, and staff who actually understand why security matters.

The investment? Less than what one data breach would have cost them.

SMB owners: You can’t protect what you don’t know is vulnerable. When’s the last time you had a real security assessment?
