The checkup
We review your domain records, email authentication, who has access to what, how backups work, and how you would recover each critical account if it was lost tomorrow.

Secure foundations
Boring risks should stay boring.
Nobody starts a bakery to think about email authentication records. But when your invoices land in spam, when an old employee still has the keys to your Google account, or when the only copy of your customer list lives on one aging laptop, the boring stuff stops being boring very fast. We check the basics, fix what is weak, and write it all down so it stays fixed.
Where the money goes
The quiet risks every small business carries
Email is the one most owners feel first. Without proper SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records on your domain, your quotes and invoices drift into spam folders and you never know. Customers think you went silent. You think they did. Both of you are wrong, and the deal dies in a junk folder.
Then there is access. The bookkeeper who left two years ago, the marketing intern from one summer, the web guy you stopped using. If their logins still work, your business has doors standing open that nobody watches. Add a missing backup and a forgotten recovery email, and one bad day can take down accounts you cannot get back.
How the system works
Four steps. No mystery box.
The plain English findings
You get a short list. What is solid, what is risky, what is urgent. No fear selling, no jargon, no padding.
The fixes
We close the gaps. Email records corrected, stale access revoked, backups made real, recovery paths tested while nothing is on fire.
The handoff
Everything gets documented so your team knows what exists and why. The next person you hire should not need to call us to understand your own setup.
What you get
Installed, documented, and yours to keep.
For every small business, honestly. Especially ones handling customer data, taking payments, or relying on email to win work. Clinics, firms, and shops with staff turnover get the most immediate value.
Included in this system
- Domain and email authentication review with corrected SPF, DKIM, and DMARC.
- Access audit covering staff, former staff, and third parties.
- Backup and account recovery check, tested rather than assumed.
- Security header and basic website hardening review.
- A written record of your setup that belongs to you, not to us.
Fair questions
Asked by owners just like you.
We are too small to be a target, right?
Small businesses are targeted precisely because the basics are usually weakest there. Most incidents are not movie style hacks. They are an old password, an open door, a missing backup.
Will this disrupt our email or systems?
No. The checks are read first, and fixes are scheduled carefully with you. Email record changes are done gradually so delivery never breaks.
Is this a one time thing?
The cleanup can be. Many clients then keep a light periodic recheck, because access and records drift over time as people come and go.
Website trust
Website health monitoring
Monitor uptime, SSL, forms, key pages, speed, mobile usability, and broken customer paths before they silently cost you leads.
