Without layered security, most small and midsize businesses carry three concrete risks at once.

1. Business email compromise. An attacker impersonates a partner or executive and reroutes a wire. Average loss per incident sits near $125,000.
2. Ransomware. Files encrypt, operations stall, and recovery takes weeks when backups were not isolated from the attacker's access.
3. Quiet data exfiltration. Client records, case files, or PHI leave the network and nobody notices for months.

CHK bakes the baseline into every plan. MFA enforcement, endpoint detection, patching, isolated backups, phishing training, and monthly reporting you can actually read.

Sure. Here's the short version.

Skipping core security controls is no longer a cost-saving move. A single phishing email can cost six figures, and insurers now expect MFA, endpoint protection, and tested backups before they will write a cyber policy. Partnering with a managed provider puts those controls in place at a fixed monthly cost and gives leadership clear monthly evidence that the work is getting done.
