Email Configuration & Deliverability

Do you know what an MX record is and what it does?

MX records direct incoming email to your mail server. Most businesses have these configured correctly (otherwise you wouldn't be receiving emails), but understanding your email infrastructure is important when troubleshooting delivery issues or migrating systems.

Do you have SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records configured?

This is critical. These authentication protocols are required in 2025 to send email reliably. Without them, your legitimate business emails land in spam folders or get blocked entirely. SPF verifies sending servers, DKIM adds digital signatures, and DMARC tells receiving servers what to do with emails that fail authentication. Missing these records also leaves your domain open to spoofing attacks where criminals send fake emails pretending to be your company. This is where most businesses have serious gaps.

Security & Access Controls

Is multi-factor authentication (MFA) enabled on all business accounts?

Passwords alone are no longer sufficient protection. 81% of data breaches involve stolen or weak passwords. MFA adds a second verification step, making it exponentially harder for attackers to access your systems even if they have your password.

When was the last time you reviewed user permissions?

Former employees with active accounts, users with excessive permissions, and shared passwords create security vulnerabilities. Regular permission audits prevent unauthorized access and limit damage from compromised accounts.

Backup & Recovery

When did you last test your backups?

Having backups is meaningless if they don't work when you need them. Many businesses discover their backups are corrupted or incomplete only after a ransomware attack. Regular testing ensures you can actually recover your data.

Do you have immutable backups protected from ransomware?

Modern ransomware specifically targets and encrypts backup systems. Immutable backups cannot be altered or deleted, even by ransomware, ensuring you have a clean recovery point.

How long would you be down if your server died today?

Without a disaster recovery plan, businesses face days or weeks of downtime. Every hour of downtime costs money in lost productivity, revenue, and customer trust.

Network & Infrastructure

Is your firewall configured with proper rules and monitoring?

A firewall with default settings provides minimal protection. Proper configuration includes intrusion detection, content filtering, and logging. Without monitoring, you won't know if you're under attack until it's too late.

Are your network devices receiving security updates?

Routers, switches, and access points have vulnerabilities that need patching. Outdated firmware is a common entry point for attackers who can then move laterally through your entire network.

Do you have network segmentation separating critical systems?

If everything is on one flat network, a single compromised computer can access all your servers, financial data, and customer information. Segmentation contains breaches and limits damage.

Endpoint Security

Are you still using traditional antivirus?

Traditional antivirus only catches known threats using signature databases. Modern threats use evasion techniques that bypass signature-based detection. You need behavioral analysis and AI-driven detection (EDR) to catch new and evolving threats.

Can your security solution roll back ransomware damage?

Detection alone isn't enough. Advanced endpoint protection can automatically reverse file encryption and system changes caused by ransomware, minimizing damage and recovery time.

Operating System Support

Are you still running Windows 10?

Windows 10 support ended October 14, 2025. Systems without security updates accumulate vulnerabilities that attackers actively exploit. Cyber insurance may deny claims, and you're likely out of compliance with industry regulations. Migration to Windows 11 or purchasing Extended Security Updates is now urgent.

Do you have unsupported server operating systems?

Older Windows Server versions (2012, 2016) are approaching or past end-of-life. Running unsupported servers creates liability and puts your entire business at risk.

If you're not sure about most of these, let's talk.

This stuff isn't optional anymore. It's what you need to stay in business.
