OUR SERVICES
Cybersecurity
Small businesses are increasingly targeted by cybercriminals — not because they’re high value, but because they’re often unprotected. At Stratagem Technical Services we help home offices and small businesses understand their security risks and take practical, affordable steps to address them. No fear tactics, no unnecessary complexity — just honest guidance and effective protection.
“The best security is layered, practical, and understood by the people using it — not just the people managing it.”
What we provide
Security Assessments
A clear-eyed review of your current security posture — identifying vulnerabilities, gaps, and risks across your network, devices, and systems. You get a plain English report with practical recommendations, not a stack of technical jargon.
Firewall Configuration
Setup and configuration of hardware and software firewalls — properly securing your network perimeter and controlling what traffic is allowed in and out of your environment.
Virus & Malware Removal
Complete diagnosis and removal of viruses, malware, spyware, ransomware, and other threats — followed by hardening recommendations to prevent reinfection.
Employee Security Awareness
Practical guidance for you and
your team on recognizing phishing emails, safe browsing habits, password best practices, and how to avoid the most common
security mistakes — in plain
English.
Mobile Device Security
Security software selection, installation, and configuration for smartphones and tablets — Android and iOS alike. Your phone holds
your email, contacts, and business data and deserves the same protection as your PC.
Multi-Factor Authentication
Guidance and basic setup of multi-factor authentication on your key accounts and systems — one of the most effective and affordable steps any business can take to prevent unauthorized access.
Our approach: Two-layer desktop security
For desktop security we recommend a two-vendor approach — a primary security layer such as Symantec Security combined with a secondary layer such as Malwarebytes. No single security vendor can stay ahead of every threat in the wild. Using two complementary solutions from different vendors significantly increases the likelihood that emerging threats are caught before they cause damage.
This layered approach is a best practice we recommend to every client regardless of their size or budget — because the cost of prevention is always less than the cost of recovery.
Dark web monitoring
We also offer basic dark web monitoring — checking whether your business credentials or email addresses have been exposed in known data breaches. If your information has been compromised, knowing about it early gives you the opportunity to act before it’s used against you.
Small businesses are the most targeted — and the least protected
According to industry research, over 40% of cyberattacks target small businesses. Most small business owners assume they’re too small to be a target — but that’s exactly what makes them attractive. Cybercriminals look for easy targets, not big ones. Basic, well-implemented security measures significantly reduce your risk without requiring enterprise budgets or dedicated IT staff.
Practical security for real businesses
Good cybersecurity doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. For most small businesses the biggest risks come from a handful of well-known vulnerabilities — unpatched software, weak passwords, phishing emails, and unprotected devices. We focus on addressing those practical risks first, in plain English, at a cost that makes sense for a small business. No overselling, no fear tactics — just honest, effective protection.
