Small Business Tech Budgeting Doesn’t Have to Be Complicated

Technology is essential to running a business, but without a plan, IT expenses can quickly become unexpected expenses.

As you build your technology budget, focus on a few key areas:

•Hardware lifecycle — Plan ahead for replacing aging computers, servers, networking equipment, and other devices.
•Software & subscriptions — Review recurring licenses regularly. Make sure you're paying for what your team actually uses.
•Cybersecurity — Security shouldn’t be an afterthought. Budget for backups, endpoint protection, email security, MFA, and employee training.
•Support & maintenance — Understanding your ongoing IT support and maintenance costs can help you plan more accurately.
•Future growth — Hiring employees, opening another location, or adopting new software?

Consider how those changes may affect your technology needs and costs.

Tip: A 12–36 month technology roadmap can give you a clearer picture of upcoming replacements, upgrades, and technology needs, making it easier to plan your own budget.

Security Tip Wednesday

Cyber threats don’t take a day off, and neither should your security strategy.

Protecting endpoints is critical, but identity-based attacks are rapidly increasing. Stolen credentials, MFA bypass attempts, and unauthorized account access are becoming some of the most common attack methods targeting businesses today.

Adding Identity Threat Detection & Response (ITDR) to your existing security strategy provides an additional layer of protection through continuous identity monitoring, suspicious login detection, and faster response to compromised accounts.

A layered approach combining endpoint protection and identity security helps businesses stay ahead of modern cyber threats and reduce overall risk.

⚠️ FRAUD ALERT ⚠️
Phone Scam Targeting Business Banking

We want to make you aware of an active phone scam currently affecting businesses and organizations nationwide. Cybercriminals are spoofing legitimate bank phone numbers to appear as though calls are coming directly from trusted financial institutions.

Example: A scammer going by the name of Adam Lewis is posing as an employee from Golden Valley Bank in an active phone scam targeting local businesses.

Scammers are spoofing real bank phone numbers and attempting to:
• Change ACH/wire instructions
• Request banking details or MFA codes
• Pressure employees into urgent financial actions
• Gather sensitive company information

🚫 Never trust the caller ID alone.
🚫 Never share passwords, MFA codes, or account info over the phone.
✅ Hang up and call your bank directly using a verified number.
✅ Verify all payment changes through a secondary contact method.

Please alert your accounting, payroll, HR, and finance teams immediately.

If you receive a suspicious call:
• End the call immediately
• Do not provide information
• Contact your bank directly
• Report incidents to [email protected]

Stay vigilant. Cybercriminals rely on urgency and deception.

Thursday Tech Tips: Telecom Spotlight

Is Your Phone System Still Compliant?

In today’s fast-evolving technology landscape, phone system compliance is more important than many businesses realize. Modern phone systems are no longer just for making calls; they’re connected to networks, store sensitive information, and support emergency services.

Here’s why compliance matters more than ever:

✔️ Emergency calls (911/E911) must route correctly with accurate location information
✔️ Outdated systems can create cybersecurity vulnerabilities
✔️ Federal regulations now require enhanced emergency calling protocols
✔️ VoIP and cloud systems must meet stricter security and data protection standards

The risks of doing nothing can include:
• Failed emergency response situations
• Costly downtime
• Compliance violations, fines, and liability exposure
• Security breaches from outdated technology

What should businesses do?
✅ Review your current phone system setup
✅ Verify emergency call routing and location accuracy
✅ Ensure regular updates and monitoring are in place
✅ Consult with a telecommunications specialist

Did you know? TCPA violations can result in fines ranging from $500–$1,500 per unauthorized call or text message.

Not sure if your phone system meets today’s standards? Let us help you assess your system to ensure it’s secure, compliant, and ready for what’s next.
