How AI-Ready Is Your Business — Really?

Because we onboard each client personally. Mark and the team are directly involved in every engagement — from the initial assessment to deploying the security stack, configuring the AI tools, and building the compliance evidence library. We cap each quarter at 9 new clients to make sure every engagement gets the attention it needs. The application is a short conversation to confirm we're the right fit before either side commits.

Everything in the Suite list — multi-factor authentication, 24/7 managed endpoint and network defense, automated patching, ransomware-proof backups, email security, the pre-secured AI tool suite, AI usage monitoring, continuous compliance evidence collection, audit and insurance documentation, ongoing Security Awareness Training, a dedicated point of contact, and monthly reporting. Onboarding is quoted separately based on your environment. Your full Cyber Risk Analysis is part of onboarding.

Especially yes. Most of our clients felt the same way. The free Cyber Foundation Check has nothing to do with AI — it shows you whether your business meets one of the most basic security controls every modern business needs, AI or not. If you decide AI isn't for you, you'll at least know where you stand on security and compliance. If you decide AI is worth exploring, you'll be starting from a real foundation.

You're not wrong — that's exactly how most businesses are using it. The real opportunity isn't the chat box; it's automating sales workflows, integrating AI into your existing tools, and replacing hours of work. But none of that is safe to do until your security and compliance foundation is in place. That's what we build.

That's a legitimate fear and a real risk with consumer AI tools. The AI tools we recommend and configure are enterprise-grade, contractually protected, and integrated with your security stack so data stays where it belongs. We also help you create policies and monitoring so employees can't accidentally leak data through unapproved tools.

Every Analysis includes an external vulnerability scan, a dark web credential scan, and a framework gap analysis showing where you stand against the standards your insurance carrier, customers, or regulators care about. You can add endpoint scans (5 included, $30 each up to 30 total) and a Microsoft 365 security scan for deeper visibility. The 15-minute scoping call confirms what you actually need, sets expectations, and ensures we're not running scans on the wrong things. Your invoice goes out after the call so you know exactly what you're paying for. If you're accepted into the Suite, the full Analysis is included free as part of onboarding.

No. The external scan is a complete product on its own — we look at what attackers can see from outside your network and check the dark web for stolen credentials. This alone gives you real, useful visibility into your security posture. Adding the endpoint scans and Microsoft 365 scan gives you a much more detailed picture — they reveal risks the external scan can't see, like outdated software inside your network, misconfigured admin accounts, and security gaps on the machines that handle your sensitive data. You decide how deep to go.

Because the right 5 endpoints tell us more than the wrong 50. We focus on the machines that touch your money, your sensitive data, and your admin accounts — typically the owner, the controller, the IT admin, and 1-2 key managers. That's where attackers focus, and that's where your real risk lives. We'll help you pick which machines to scan. Need to scan more? Additional endpoints are $30 each, up to 30 total. Larger environments get the full-scope assessment as part of Suite onboarding.

The Microsoft 365 portion of the Cyber Risk Analysis requires consent from a Global Admin or Security Admin in your organization. We use Microsoft's standard delegated-access flow — you grant read-only consent through Microsoft directly, no passwords are ever shared with us. We can walk you through this during the scoping call, and the actual scan takes about 15 minutes once consent is given. If you can't get admin consent right away, no problem — we can run the external and endpoint scans first, and add the M365 scan whenever you're ready.

Most IT providers install tools and walk away. They don't document, automate compliance evidence, or build for AI readiness. They may secure you technically, but if you can't prove it on demand to an auditor or insurance carrier, you have undocumented security — which in 2026 increasingly counts as no security. We close that gap.

Then take the free Cyber Foundation Check and prove it. If you're already secure, you'll have the report to show your insurance carrier. If you're not, you'll know exactly what's at stake before you decide. Either way, you'll be making a real decision instead of a default one.
