Enterprise-grade protection for businesses that can't afford downtime. We help you lock down your network, stop ransomware before it starts, and sleep easy knowing hackers can't break in.
These aren't theoretical risks — they're what's actively targeting businesses like yours every single day.
Malicious software locks your files and demands payment. Small businesses pay an average of $312,000 in downtime, recovery costs, and lost data — even if they pay the ransom, there's no guarantee the attackers release your files.
How to protect against it →Fake emails from 'your bank' or 'a client' trick employees into giving up login credentials, transferring money, or downloading malware. 91% of all breaches start with a phishing email.
Still using passwords like password123? Credential attacks are extremely common — the same password on different sites means that one compromised site puts everything else at risk.
Every computer and server runs software with known security holes. If you don't stay up to date with patches, hackers use those holes like a door without a lock.
Enterprise-grade firewalls that filter incoming and outgoing traffic, block known threats at the network edge before they reach your computers.
Included in Managed IT plans →Next-gen antivirus on every computer in your business. Catches zero-day threats, scans for suspicious behavior, blocks malicious downloads before they execute.
See endpoint protection details →We assess your entire security posture — find vulnerabilities you didn't even know existed and give you an honest report with prioritized fixes.
Get a free audit →Spam filters, link scanning, attachment blocking, anti-phishing. Your email is a primary attack vector; we make it safe.
Strong unique passwords for every account, enforced across your whole team, stored securely in an enterprise-grade password manager.
Learn about IT consulting →Most breaches happen because someone clicked the wrong link. We train your employees to spot phishing attempts and bad actors — so they stop being your weakest link.
View training programs →Professional IT and cybersecurity for small businesses in the Portland metro for over two decades.

It usually doesn't look like a Hollywood movie. Most breaches follow this exact pattern:
An employee receives an email that looks exactly like it's from Microsoft or the bank
The urgent tone creates anxiety — 'Your account will be locked unless you act now'
They click the link and enter their credentials on a perfectly fake login page
Attackers now have access. They move through your network, find shared drives, and deploy ransomware
At 6 AM on a Monday, every computer at the office displays: 'YOUR FILES ARE ENCRYPTED. PAY US $15,000 IN BITCOIN TO GET YOUR DATA BACK'
Every single one of those steps is preventable with the right security setup — and free during your assessment.
We protect small businesses in Gresham, Sandy, Troutdale, Estacada, Canby, Clackamas, Oregon City, and SE Portland. Remote monitoring available for any location.
Honest answers about cybersecurity for small businesses.
Here's the truth — hackers don't target specific companies. They use automated tools that scan every computer on the internet looking for weak spots. Your small business is just as likely (or unlikely) to be hit depending on your security setup. The good news: with the right protections, you're basically invisible to these attacks. 43% of cyber crimes target businesses with fewer than 250 employees.
Ransomware is malware that locks your files and demands payment to unlock them. It's become extremely common — attackers get in through email links, infected downloads, or unpatched software, encrypt everything they can reach (including shared drives and backups), then demand $5,000–$50,000+ to give you back your data.
Most business owners don't — until something goes wrong. That's exactly what our security audit is for. We look at all the pieces: firewalls, antivirus coverage, passwords being used, open access points to your network and patch levels. We'll give you an honest assessment of where you stand.
Yes. Small businesses are primary targets because they tend to have weaker defenses. The smaller you are, the more one breach can hurt your bottom line.
Everything you'd get from a full $2,000 consulting engagement — no catch. We review your firewall configuration, check endpoint antivirus coverage, audit password hygiene, scan for patch compliance gaps, and test your email defense against phishing. You'll walk away with a prioritized report and zero obligation.
For clients in the Gresham and Portland metro area — typically within 1–2 hours. We have remote access prepared in advance and will be on-site the same day if needed. Time is critical in a breach.
Both. Some businesses need one-off security audits; others want ongoing monitoring where we proactively hunt for threats before they impact your operations. We recommend continuing service for active defense — reactive security costs far more than proactive.
If your industry requires HIPAA, PCI-DSS, or other cybersecurity frameworks — yes. We can audit your current practices and create a remediation plan that aligns with those standards.
At least quarterly if you handle sensitive data (customer info, financial records, payroll). Annual reviews are the bare minimum. Threat landscapes change constantly; frequent proactive checks save far more than reactive cleanup.
It depends on your environment — number of endpoints, current vulnerabilities, and what needs remediation. The free assessment gives you a clear prioritized list so you can budget accordingly. Most Gresham businesses start with $200–$500/month for active defense vs. tens of thousands in breach recovery costs.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. During our audit we'll review what you have and whether it's enterprise-grade enough to meet your threat model. Free tools and budget antivirus often don't catch modern ransomware or targeted attacks.
In everything. Every breached credential starts with one person using a weak or recycled password. Your team may not want to hear it, but password management isn't optional anymore — it's the first line of defense when firewalls can't stop social engineering.
That's one of the smartest fears to have, because it puts you ahead of most businesses that learn about ransomware too late. The protection is simple but requires layering: regular tested backups stored separately from your network, email phishing defense so clicks don't start the chain, endpoint software that catches unknown threats, and firewall rules that stop lateral movement. If you want all of this set up, we do it in a day. Your free assessment covers all four.
First stay calm — knowing there's an issue is already ahead of most small businesses that live with it for weeks without realizing it. Call us directly and describe what you're seeing (unusual pop-ups, files disappearing, password failures). While we talk through next steps we'll remotely connect to the affected systems, isolate them from your network, identify how they got in, and clean the infection before any data spreads elsewhere.
Schedule your free security assessment today and find out where your business stands. There's zero obligation and no lock-in contracts — ever.
We review your current setup — firewall, endpoints, email defense, and patch compliance — in a simple walkthrough.
Automated scanning across all endpoints to identify gaps in antivirus, password hygiene, and patch levels.
You get a clear, honest list of what needs fixing — ranked by risk. No lock-in contracts or sales pressure.
"Because true cybersecurity isn't about selling a service — it's about solving a business problem. That takes homework, listening, and respect for the work you've done to get here. I'm the student in this conversation until you decide I'm worth bringing on as your partner."
