Technology Protection

    Small Business Tech Support in Stone Mountain, GA

    Cybersecurity guidance, technology risk audits, practical training, and secure remote support, delivered by a consultant with 30 plus years in IT infrastructure and systems management.

    Serving Stone Mountain, GA, Decatur, GA, Atlanta, GA and businesses nationwide, remotely.

    Cybersecurity Guidance

    We find the gaps an attacker would use first, then close them in the order that reduces your risk fastest.

    Most small business breaches do not start with sophisticated hacking. They start with a reused password, an unpatched laptop, an email account with no second factor, or a backup nobody has tested in two years. We review how your business actually works, identify the exposures that matter, and put layered protection in place without turning your day into a security obstacle course.

    Includes

    • Password and credential hygiene review
    • Multi factor authentication rollout on email and critical accounts
    • Endpoint and patch status check across your devices
    • Phishing and social engineering awareness for your team
    • Layered protection plan you can implement in stages

    Technology Education

    Plain language training for owners, staff, and seniors who want to use technology confidently instead of cautiously.

    Tools only protect you if the people using them understand them. Our sessions translate complex topics into practical steps: what a suspicious message looks like, why updates matter, how to keep personal and business accounts separate, and what to do in the first ten minutes after something goes wrong. Sessions are scheduled around your work, delivered remotely, and paced for the room.

    Includes

    • One on one or small group sessions
    • Senior friendly pacing and written takeaways
    • Scam, phishing, and fraud recognition
    • Safe use of cloud storage, email, and mobile devices
    • Recorded recap notes you can share with your team

    Small to Midsize Business Risk Audits

    A structured assessment of device security, network protection, backups, and operational exposure, delivered as a prioritized action plan.

    This is the engagement most businesses should start with. We inventory what you run, test where it is weak, and hand you a written report ordered by impact rather than by alarm level. You get a clear picture of what would happen if a laptop was stolen, a server failed, or an account was compromised tomorrow, plus what it costs to fix each item. You can implement the plan yourself, use your current IT provider, or bring us in.

    Includes

    • Device and network security review
    • Backup existence and restore verification
    • Account access, admin rights, and offboarding gaps
    • Vendor and cloud service exposure
    • Written report with prioritized, costed recommendations

    Secure Remote Support

    Encrypted, scheduled, permission based remote sessions. You approve access, you watch the work, you end the session.

    Remote support should not mean handing a stranger a permanent key to your computer. Every session is scheduled, encrypted, initiated by you, and visible on your screen while it happens. Access ends when the session ends. We work under defined boundaries, document what was changed, and never install persistent access tools without telling you exactly what they do.

    Includes

    • Encrypted, session based access with no standing connection
    • Scheduled appointments, no unannounced logins
    • Written summary of every change made
    • Clear boundaries on what we can and cannot touch
    • Escalation path if an issue needs deeper work
