What to expect

Quick risk review
We look at the actual devices and accounts in use, the browsers and email clients you live in, and the recent suspicious messages you've seen - so the fix matches your real exposure.

Lock down the basics
Antivirus, browser hardening, password manager, and 2FA on the high-value accounts. We do the setup with you, not for you, so you can do it again on a new device later.
