A security risk assessment shows you what could hurt your Atlanta business, how likely it is and what to fix first. You get a plain-English report, a ranked action list and a price for each fix.
Get a Free IT AssessmentA security risk assessment is a structured review of how your business could lose data, money or time to a cyber problem. It looks at your people, your devices, your accounts, your network and your vendors. The goal is not a scary report. The goal is a short, ranked list of what to fix first, so you spend money where it matters most.
Most Atlanta offices we would expect to see share the same weak spots. Shared passwords on sticky notes. Former employees whose accounts still work. A firewall nobody has updated in three years. Laptops that skip updates for months. A backup that has never been test-restored. None of these are rare, and none are hard to fix once someone points at them.
The assessment ends with a written report you can hand to your bookkeeper, your insurance agent or your board. Each finding has a plain description, a risk rating, the likely cost if it goes wrong and the typical cost to fix it. You decide what to do, in what order and with whom. There is no pressure to buy anything else.
Atlanta is a busy business city, and that makes its companies a steady target. Phishing emails reach law firms in Midtown, wealth managers in Buckhead and small clinics in Decatur the same way. Attackers do not pick by neighborhood. They pick by who is easiest to reach. A review of your own setup tells you whether that is you.
Cyber insurance applications and client security questionnaires now ask detailed questions about MFA, backups, patching and staff training. Answering them honestly without a review is guesswork. An assessment gives you real answers and a dated document to show. It also keeps you from paying for tools you do not need, because you see which risks are actually yours.
Everything below is part of one monthly plan. Pick a topic to see what is handled for you and how it works in a Atlanta office.
Most breaches start with a person clicking the wrong thing. The review looks at how your team handles email, passwords, file sharing and unknown requests. It also checks who has access to what, and whether that access still makes sense for their job.
We look at what happens when someone joins, changes roles or leaves. Old accounts and extra permissions are some of the most common findings. The result is a simple picture of where habits help you and where they put you at risk, with training suggestions where they make sense.
The review lists every device on your office network, from laptops and printers to cameras and guest phones. It checks firewall settings, Wi-Fi security, remote access and whether old equipment is still running. Unknown devices are flagged for follow-up.
Atlanta offices often grow in stages, so setups pile up over the years. A router from one move, a switch from another, a printer nobody remembers buying. We document what exists, what is out of date and what should be replaced first, in order of risk.
You cannot protect data you cannot find. The assessment maps where client records, financial files and email are stored, who can reach them and how they are protected. It also checks whether data sits on personal devices or unapproved apps.
Backups get a hard look. We ask whether they run, whether they are separate from your main systems and whether anyone has tested a restore. A backup that has never been tested is a hope, not a plan, and the report will say so plainly.
The review asks simple, practical questions. Who do you call first? Who decides whether to shut systems down? Where is the list of vendors, passwords and insurance contacts? Many offices find they have no written answer, and that gap costs the most time in a crisis.
We check logging, alerts and whether anyone would notice a problem at 2 a.m. The report suggests the smallest useful response plan for your size, so your team knows its first five moves before anything goes wrong.
Contracts, insurance policies and industry rules often set security requirements for your business. The assessment compares your current setup with what those documents ask for, using plain wording instead of legal language.
Where gaps exist, the report shows what would close them and roughly what it would cost. If you need a deeper review for a specific standard, we say so and explain why. You never pay for a framework you do not need.
Lots of companies can fix a computer. These are the reasons Atlanta businesses give for choosing Stack Atlanta and sticking with us.
Our team knows which Midtown towers need paperwork before anyone enters the riser room, how summer storms affect power across the metro and how long it really takes to get from Downtown to Alpharetta at 5 p.m. That local knowledge turns into faster, calmer fixes.
Your network, devices and backups are watched day and night. Most problems are handled before anyone notices, and you get a plain explanation when something needs your decision.
A free assessment ends with a per-user quote listing every included service. No hourly surprises, no unexpected after-hours charges and no fine print about what counts as extra.
Risk looks different from one part of Atlanta to the next. A review is built around how your office really works, wherever it is.
Downtown offices sit in older towers with shared risers and strict building access. Managed IT here means coordinating with property management, keeping remote access reliable for MARTA commuters and scheduling heavier work after hours.
Law firms, agencies and tech teams in Midtown run on fast Wi-Fi, video calls and secure file sharing. They need dependable networks in busy high-rises and tight access control for client data.
Wealth managers, insurance agencies and professional offices in Buckhead hold sensitive financial data. Managed IT keeps that data protected, backed up and documented for audits and insurers.
Design firms, showrooms and production companies in West Midtown move large files every day. They need strong networks, solid backups and workstations that keep up with demanding software.
Corporate offices and medical groups around the Perimeter often connect several locations. Managed IT monitors those links and gives every site the same help desk.
Fast-growing tech and fintech companies in Alpharetta add people every month. Managed IT makes every new hire’s laptop, accounts and access ready before the first day.
Clinics, nonprofits and small professional offices in Decatur need dependable systems without a big IT budget. A managed plan covers updates, backups and security for one monthly fee.
Regional offices near the Galleria and The Battery often support staff across the northwest suburbs. Managed IT keeps those offices connected and supported without long waits for a visit.
You can get a review from a managed provider, a one-off consultant or a free online checklist. Each has a different depth and a different follow-up.

|---|---|---|---|
| Typical cost | Free first assessment, quoted fixes | Fixed project fee, often higher | Free |
| Depth of review | People, network, data & response | Often deep on one area | Surface questions only |
| Report style | Plain English, ranked, priced | Technical, sometimes dense | Generic score |
| Local knowledge | Atlanta offices & buildings | Varies by consultant | None |
| Fix help available | Yes, same team can do the work | Usually a separate vendor | No |
| Ongoing follow-up | Re-check on a schedule you pick | Usually one-time | None |

With our old provider, a broken laptop meant a ticket and a long wait. Now somebody picks up right away and most problems are gone before the call ends. The constant IT complaints in our office simply stopped.
We were worried about changing providers during our busiest season. The handover took about three weeks, email and files never stopped working and we received full documentation at the end.
Every repair used to come with its own invoice. Now it is one monthly amount, a short report and a conversation about upgrades before anything breaks. Budgeting for IT finally makes sense.
After a free assessment you get a written quote with each fix priced separately. No pressure and no surprise add-ons.
It is a structured review of how your business could lose data, money or time to a cyber problem. It covers people, devices, accounts, networks and backups. You receive a ranked list of risks with plain explanations and typical costs to fix each one.
Most small business assessments typically range from a free initial review to a few thousand dollars for a deeper, documented project. Price depends on staff count, number of locations and how much detail you need. You should get a written quote before any work starts.
Most small offices take one to three weeks from kickoff to final report. Staff interviews and system checks happen in a few short sessions. Larger or multi-site companies take longer. You will be told the timeline and what we need from you at the start.
Very little. Most checks run quietly in the background, and interviews take about 20 to 30 minutes per person. Anything that could affect users, like a scan, is scheduled outside busy hours so your team keeps working.
We need read-level access to review settings, accounts and logs. We do not need to change anything to assess it. You stay in control of what is shared, and access is removed when the review ends.
An assessment reviews your setup and habits to find weaknesses. A penetration test actively tries to break in to prove one can be exploited. Many small businesses need the assessment first, because it finds the easy problems at lower cost.
Most businesses review once a year and after major changes, like a move, a new system or a large hiring round. Insurers and clients may also ask for a recent report. A yearly cycle keeps your fix list short and current.
Yes. It gives you accurate answers on MFA, backups, patching and training, plus a dated document. That helps with applications and renewals. We cannot promise any insurer will accept it or lower your premium.
That is common and not a reason to panic. Findings are ranked, so you start with the few that matter most. Many of the top fixes are quick and low cost, like turning on MFA or removing old accounts.
Yes, if you want us to. Each finding comes with a typical fix cost, and you can use our team, your own staff or another vendor. The report is yours either way, and there is no obligation to buy more.
