How it works

Simple, and on your schedule.

Most of it happens without anyone setting foot in your office or installing anything. Here's the whole thing.

01

Free external check

Starting from public information only, we check your email security and whether your logins have turned up in known data breaches. You see real findings before committing to anything.

02

Quick questionnaire & walkthrough

A short, plain-English questionnaire, then a screen-share where we review the basics together — accounts, backups, devices. We look at settings; we don't change them.

03

A report you can act on

A clear write-up: what's working, what needs attention, and a short list of fixes in priority order. Yours to keep, and to share with your insurer if they ask.

The free external check

What you get for free, before committing to anything.

The free check looks only at public information — nothing touches your systems and you don't have to grant any access. It's a real read on your email security and exposure, and you see the findings before deciding whether to go further.

Email spoofing protectionWhether someone can send fake invoices or emails in your business's name (SPF, DKIM, DMARC).
Breach exposureWhether your staff logins have shown up in known data breaches.
Mail setup & providerHow your email is hosted and whether it's configured correctly.
Public footprintWhat's visible about your domain and internet-facing services from the outside.

The full Health Check

The basics that matter most.

If you decide to go further, the full health check adds a short questionnaire and a screen-share walkthrough — covering the handful of things that account for most of the real risk a small business carries, measured against the CIS Controls, a recognized baseline for organizations your size.

Logins & accessMulti-factor authentication, who has admin, shared passwords.
BackupsWhether your data is backed up, stored separately, and actually restorable.
Devices & updatesAntivirus, security updates, and laptop encryption on work computers.
Insurance readinessHelp answering the security questions on your cyber-insurance renewal.

Pricing

Clear pricing, no surprises.

Start free. Most businesses I check are missing one specific thing, so the most popular next step is simple: I just fix it for you.

Email Protection Setup $149 flat done for you · no subscription

Nearly every small office I check is missing protection against someone sending email in its name. I set up SPF, DKIM, and DMARC correctly so scammers can't impersonate you, usually within a few days, for one flat fee. The free check tells you if you need it.

Brandon Williams
Founder · NW Ohio Security · Findlay, Ohio

I've spent about a decade in cybersecurity, with a degree in Cybersecurity and Digital Forensics from Oklahoma State University. I've worked across managed service providers, government contractors, and CMMC compliance, and these days I secure systems for an aerospace and defense company. I do the full range of the work myself, from hands-on threat monitoring and closing gaps to scripting and automation.

NW Ohio Security is how I bring that same discipline home to small businesses, in language that actually makes sense. I'm local. When you call, you reach me, someone in Findlay who can meet you in person, not a ticket queue in another time zone. No pushy sales and no fear tactics. Just a straight read on where you stand and what's worth doing about it, starting with a free check that costs you nothing but a few minutes.
