Security planning for small businesses

Small business cybersecurity assessments in Highland, IL.

Get a clearer picture of your everyday technology risks. Decker Tech Services reviews the agreed parts of your business setup and helps you decide which security improvements to tackle first.

Turn scattered concerns into practical priorities.

A new employee, an old administrator account, or uncertainty about Microsoft 365 settings can be a useful starting point. We agree on what to review and focus on changes that fit your business and existing equipment.

Accounts and Microsoft 365

Review multi-factor authentication, administrator access, inactive users, recovery options, and mail forwarding rules where access and licensing allow.

Workstations and Wi-Fi

Check operating system updates, security software status, local administrator rights, device encryption status, and basic router or guest-network settings.

Backups and everyday practices

Discuss what is backed up, who checks it, and whether restoration has been tested. Review device documentation and how staff handle suspicious messages.

How it works

A review built around your actual setup.

  1. Define the scope

    Tell us about your team, devices, applications, and main concerns. We agree on the systems, access, and price before paid assessment work.

  2. Review with permission

    We work through the agreed settings and practices. Access is authorized, and any configuration changes are discussed before implementation.

  3. Set priorities

    Review the findings and practical next steps together, including work your team can handle and any separately scoped help you may want.

A practical security review with a defined scope.

This service is not a penetration test, formal security audit, compliance assessment, or certification. A review cannot identify every vulnerability or guarantee protection from an incident. Ongoing maintenance and implementation are discussed separately.

Common questions

How is this different from the website’s security assessment?

The online self-assessment is an educational starting point based on your answers. A service assessment involves a conversation and an authorized review of the agreed systems and settings.

Do I need to replace my current technology?

The review starts with what you already use. Any suggested equipment, subscriptions, or configuration changes are discussed before you decide what to implement.

Will this prove compliance with a regulation or insurance requirement?

No. This is a practical security review, not a compliance opinion or certification. Share any specific requirements at the start so the scope and need for a specialist can be discussed.
