Affordable Security is Our Goal
A security department is considered a luxury which is too costly for smaller companies and some government entities. Security issues are often ignored or relegated to a technician who is expected to be a security expert along with their other duties. We agree that even a mid sized company would balk at penetration tests costing tens of thousand of dollars, maybe more. Budgeting for a security group might not be possible in difficult economic times. Companies choosing between hiring a security consultant or a salesperson will almost always hire the salesperson. Increased market share versus the expense of a new fire wall seems a simple choice. The impact of a compromise because of poor security practices may significantly outweigh the gain from adding a salesperson. But that impact is difficult to measure unless you have experienced a publicly disclosed compromise. Managed security solutions spread the cost across many clients. However, the cost may still be significant for a small or even medium sized business. In addition, managed solutions focus one piece of the pie such as network security or web server security. Not knowing who to call if you have a security incident is bad. Not having a single point of contact capable of understanding your total risk may be worse. Businesses, school districts and other government entities need a simple, cost-effective security solutions. The cost to remediate a security issue whether discovered by an audit or by a compromise may be many times more costly than addressing the risk before it becomes a security issue. However, even large corporations trying to cope with the high cost of security can gain value from this site. We offer customized fixed cost security plans. If you only want a security expert for advice or if you want penetration testing for a large global corporation, we can meet your needs at a cost significantly less than you might expect.
