🎯 Know Your Risk Level

Stop guessing. The self-audit gives you a concrete security score and shows exactly where your vulnerabilities are.

⚡ Implement Quick Wins

Get immediate security improvements without massive cost or complexity. Phase 1 fixes: $0-500.

📋 Create an Action Plan

Know which improvements to tackle first based on your specific risk profile and budget.

🚨 Prepare for Incidents

Have a tested incident response plan ready to minimize damage and downtime when (not if) an attack happens.

🛡️ Meet Insurance Requirements

Implement the necessary security controls to qualify for cyber insurance and reduce premiums.

💪 Protect Business Continuity

Establish backup and recovery processes so you can survive ransomware, hardware failure, or natural disaster.

✅ Perfect if you:

• Run a small business or farm in Kansas with 1-50 employees
• Store customer data, financial records, or business-critical information digitally
• Worry about ransomware but don’t know where to start
• Need to meet cyber insurance requirements
• Want to protect your business without hiring a full-time IT security team
• Are tired of generic cybersecurity advice written for Fortune 500 companies

❌ Not right if:

• You already have a dedicated IT security team and comprehensive systems
• You’re looking for compliance certification (this is a practical guide, not a certification program)
• You want someone to do everything for you (this is DIY-focused with clear guidance)

Is this really free?

Yes. We normally sell this playbook for $99 to businesses outside Kansas. For Kansas businesses, it’s completely free – no credit card required, no strings attached. We’re investing in the cybersecurity of our local business community.

Will I get sales calls?

No. We’ll send you the playbook and self-audit immediately. You’ll also receive our occasional email newsletter with IT tips for rural businesses (maybe once a month). That’s it. You can unsubscribe anytime. If YOU want to talk to us about implementing improvements, our contact info is in the playbook.

I’m not very technical. Will I understand it?

Absolutely. We wrote this in plain English for business owners, not IT professionals. If you can use email and Excel, you can use these resources. The self-audit spreadsheet is point-and-click simple – it does all the scoring calculations automatically.

How long does the audit take?

Plan on 4-6 hours for your first complete audit. You can break it into chunks – do one or two sections per day. Once you’ve done it once, quarterly reviews take about an hour.

Can I really do this myself, or will I need to hire you?

Most of the Phase 1 improvements (the highest-priority, lowest-cost fixes) are DIY-friendly. We provide step-by-step instructions. For more complex improvements like implementing EDR or setting up proper network segmentation, you might want professional help. The playbook tells you exactly when DIY makes sense and when to call in pros.

What if I score really low on the audit?

Don’t panic. Most small businesses score in the 40-60 range on their first audit. That’s exactly WHY we created this – to give you a clear roadmap to improve. The playbook includes prioritized action plans based on your score. Start with the quick wins, then tackle bigger improvements over time.

Do I need the self-audit if I already read the playbook?

Yes. The playbook gives you the knowledge. The self-audit tells you where YOU specifically need to focus. It’s the difference between reading a book about fitness and actually measuring your current fitness level. You need both.
