We close the most common entry points in your business: calmly, traceably, without jargon and without fear selling. From someone who learned security at enterprise level.
Baseline protection is not a major project and not a reason to panic. It is three stages that we walk together, understandable and at your pace. They apply to a store as much as to pure online retail: the entry points are the same.
No blame, simply reality in most small businesses: accounts and access grew over the years and nobody had time to clean up. That is exactly where the most common entry pointsare, not in Hollywood hacking scenes.
We look at them together, in your language: what is open, what matters, what can wait.
The same three lines, only closed: two-factor sign-in for your most important accounts, secured email, so your messages actually reach the inbox and are far harder to spoof in your name, and a properly configured Office 365.
You do not get a checklist, you understand at every step what it does and why it comes first.
Technology is half the battle, the other half is the people at the register and in the office. A short training in store language makes sure security lands in everyday work instead of disappearing into a binder. We also tell you in plain language which handful of measures actually matter for a business your size (the basics, done right): as orientation, not as a checklist.
The most important settings are set correctly once, the day-to-day administration of your IT stays with you: we are deliberately not a replacement for a managed IT provider. We do not audit, we do not certify and we do not guarantee completeness. What we do promise: the most common entry points are closed, and you understand your own protection.
The path does not end at a list, it ends at a business that understands its own protection.
Baseline protection for a specialty retailer does not need enterprise tooling, it needs someone who knows both worlds: security and the store.
Knows from more than ten years of running retail himself that between goods receiving and the register there is no time for IT projects. That is why we translate every measure into store language and into steps that work alongside the daily business.
Comes from enterprise-level IT security and therefore knows which handful of measures really count in a small business. Solid baseline protection instead of security theater, explained without jargon.
Deliberately labeled as examples: they show the approach, not a specific client.
A store with grown-over IT: shared passwords, one email account for everything, Office 365 exactly as it shipped. We clean up together, in a clear order: first the accounts, then the email, then Office 365. In the end the owner understands his own protection for the first time.
A team that works with orders, supplier emails and customer data every day should recognize the typical tricks without having to cram jargon. The awareness training meets everyone at the register, not in the server room. Security becomes an everyday routine instead of a special topic.
Number of accounts, email setup, team size: that determines the scope. Which is why the flat rate comes after the intro call, up front and binding, instead of a number pulled out of thin air.
We look at your business together and say openly what is worth doing and what can wait.
Optional, for anyone who wants to know precisely: a prioritized analysis of where things get stuck and in which order they are worth fixing. Credited when you hire us.
MFA, secured email, hardened Office 365 and team training, scaled to your business.
For small retail businesses, in store as much as online, the baseline comes first: secure sign-in with two factors (MFA), secured email (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), a properly configured Office 365 and training your team can actually follow. That is exactly what we set up. We do not audit and we do not certify, we close the most common entry points.
The scope depends on your business: number of accounts, email setup, Office 365 environment, team size. That is why we name the flat rate after a free intro call, up front and binding. Anyone who wants more detail starts with the Deep-Dive Check for $430, which is credited when you hire us.
No, and we say so openly: an audit or a certificate is explicitly not part of what we deliver. We close the most common entry points, explain every step and tell you honestly where our limits are. If you need a formal attestation, you need a specialized auditor, and we will tell you that instead of selling you something else.
No, and we say that openly on purpose: we set the most important security settings of your Office 365 correctly once, the day-to-day administration stays with you. For the website and the AI assistant we offer long-term support; for your internal IT we are not a replacement for a managed IT provider.
A conversation between equals, free and without obligation: we look at your business together and say openly what is worth doing and what can wait. Honest, concrete, no fear selling.
