A simple way to see if your IT is truly protecting your business—or just getting by
January is when most business owners take stock.
Last year went fine. No major disasters. No obvious red flags.
But in our experience, "fine" often hides quiet risks that don't show up until they're expensive, disruptive, or stressful.
This quick January IT Sanity Check isn't a technical audit or a sales pitch. It's a short set of questions designed to help you spot where "fine" might be leaving your business exposed.
The January IT Sanity Check
Take a moment and see how confident you feel answering these:
- Do you know when your backups were last tested, not just run?
- If someone clicked a bad link today, how quickly would you know?
- Are former employees completely removed from systems and access?
- Do you know which devices or apps pose the biggest risk right now?
- If your core system went down for a full day, do you know what it would cost the business?
If any of those gave you pause, that's normal—and exactly the point.
Why "Fine" Can Be Risky
Most IT problems don't start as emergencies.
They start as small gaps:
- Updates that get postponed
- Security tools that aren't fully monitored
- Assumptions that no one has revisited in years
Everything works… until it doesn't.
And when it breaks, it usually happens at the worst possible time.
What This Is (and Isn't)
This is:
- A quick, business-level sanity check
- A second opinion on your current setup
- A chance to ask questions without pressure
This is not:
- A long audit
- A technical deep dive
- A high-pressure sales call
Most conversations take about 15 minutes.
