Free Cybersecurity Assessment for Montana Businesses

Phenicie Business Management is a Montana-based IT and cybersecurity provider working with small businesses that don't have — and usually don't need — a full-time IT department. We offer a free baseline security assessment to give you a clear, honest picture of where you stand.

Many of the businesses we work with run lean — an owner-operator handling sales, operations, and often IT decisions all at once. The assessment is built around that reality: practical priorities, not an enterprise security checklist that doesn't fit a 12-person company.

• Email security and phishing exposure — how well your current setup would catch what TrustCan catches.
• Endpoint protection — what's actually installed and monitored across your devices.
• Microsoft 365 configuration — MFA coverage, admin account hygiene, and risky app permissions.
• Backup verification — not just whether backups run, but whether they've actually been tested.
• Cyber-insurance readiness — the specific controls carriers increasingly require to bind or renew a policy.

Cyber-insurance carriers have tightened requirements significantly in the last few years — MFA, verified backups, and endpoint detection are now common conditions of coverage, not nice-to-haves. Meanwhile, phishing volume aimed at small businesses keeps climbing, precisely because attackers know smaller companies often have fewer defenses than the enterprises that get all the headlines.
