The same head-scratching, stomach-turning reality again and again: Business owners putting their life’s work—their legacy, their retirement plan—into the hands of someone who just got the printer working last Tuesday. 

It’s like asking your bartender for heart surgery because he’s “great with a corkscrew.” 

Your Business Deserves Better Than Printer Guy 

You know the one. He’s always “working on it,” never closes a ticket without three follow-up calls, and thinks “firewall” is a brand of vodka. But sure, let’s trust him with protecting the digital keys to the kingdom. 

Here’s the reality: Every breach reduces the value of your company. 

And I’m not talking about short-term hits. I’m talking about the multi-million dollar whack to your company valuation—the kind that torpedoes your retirement plans. When you go to sell your business, that data breach is going to haunt your P&L like a ghost in QuickBooks. 

Security Isn’t Optional—It’s Strategic 

If your IT support can’t show proof they’re trained in: 

  • Communicating cyber risk
  • Building a security stack with strategic overlap
  • Creating Incident response playbooks for ransomware, stolen devices, and BEC, as a start

…then you’re not running a security program. You’re playing roulette. And when you lose? You won’t just lose data. You’ll lose customers, revenue, your insurability, and possibly the legal right to stay in business. 

Ask This One Simple Question 

Ask your IT person for their certification number. Every certification someone has gets a number. Look it up. Is it current? Or did it expire back when TikTok was still “that dancing app”? 

Then ask for your incident response plan—the written one. If they can’t produce it, you don’t have one. And when ransomware hits (not if, when), you’ll be Googling “how to pay in Bitcoin” while your phones go dead. 

Then ask them to map your security stack to the CIS framework or your cyber insurance requirements. If they can’t show you the overlap, you don’t have protection. You have hope. And hope is not a strategy. 

Still Think It’s Too Much Work? 

Let me ask you something: Is your retirement plan worth a second opinion? 

We’ll give your security stack a third-party assessment. We’ll show you where the holes are. Then we’ll work with your team to fix them. 

It’s not about paranoia. It’s about double checking. It’s also about evidence. Because when the lawsuit hits, the insurance fails, or the deal falls apart—you’ll need documentation that proves you did the right thing. 

And if you can’t produce it? Well, you better hope your printer guy can afford to buy your business.
