Recently, an associate reported that their business didn’t need to engage regular technology support, because they only have ten workstations in their company.
It sounds like they have been talking to too many large Managed Service Providers that don’t have a referral partnership set up with a team like KnowIT!
Our mantra is helping people have better technology experiences, and we don’t only mean people that run firms of 15+ or companies that can pay $1500/month for IT support.
We understand that some companies are paying thousands of dollars to rent office space in empty buildings and have difficulty accepting even $600/month for holistic managed services.
If you’re a small business of ten people, a group of four, or a solo practitioner, please keep in mind that you’re still at risk for cyber attacks and need to protect your assets.
Regardless of the size of your network, it’s time to be one of the 67% of small businesses planning to devote more resources to cybersecurity in 2020 and help us increase that number in 2021 and beyond. 1
Any industry that handles and retains sensitive client data, including names, addresses, and Social Security numbers, or financial information should be taking steps to keep it safe.
In 2019, 15% (one-fifth!) of small businesses experienced a data breach, hack, or virus and this number is only expected to increase with more companies transitioning to work-from-home this year.
How does KnowIT help revolutionize IT by bringing enterprise-grade resources to small businesses?
We have partnered with reputable organizations like Microsoft, WatchGuard, SolarWinds, and KnowBe4 to offer their services at-cost to our clients, ensuring the price is reasonable for our clientele.
When you create a business partnership with KnowIT, it means that you’re finding a technology partner that you can turn to for any IT challenges.
If you’re feeling ready to take your security to the next level, let’s take a look at the benefits you can receive from engaging KnowIT to help you have better technology experiences:
- Business-grade devices that are within the hardware lifecycle and support encryption at-rest
- Installation of business-grade firewall (hardware at no cost with monthly management fee)
- Patch management to keep the software up to date on your systems
- Secure, business-grade email, with options for encrypted messaging
- Cybersecurity awareness training, completed annually by all staff
- Technology policy creation and implementation, including Incident Response and Disaster Recovery
- Remote management and access, to allow our team to complete updates and troubleshooting, no matter where you are located.
Our goal is to change the landscape of small business security and help more business owners feel like technology is a beast that can be tamed and understood, rather than one that should be locked in the closet and hidden away, hoping it will never break through and attack.
It truly doesn’t matter if you’re a one-person shop, someone thinking about launching their own side hustle to break out of the office life, or a business owner of 10+ years that has survived without IT help before now – we can guarantee that even a quick phone consultation with our team will add value almost immediately.
Our white-glove solutions come from experience in the industry, experience as end-users, and experience as small business owners ourselves.
Every business would benefit from the extra layer of protection offered by KnowIT, tailored to your unique needs and challenges.
