If your network, software, or email systems haven’t been reviewed in over a year, your business might be sitting on hidden risks. Cybersecurity vulnerabilities, outdated systems, and inefficient processes can cost you money, productivity, and in the worst case your reputation.
An IT Health Check from RutterNet is designed specifically for Boston small and mid-sized businesses. We uncover weaknesses in your technology infrastructure, improve your defenses, and give you a roadmap for smarter, more secure operations.
And no this isn’t just for tech companies. Any SMB that relies on technology (which is most businesses today) needs to ensure their systems are healthy, secure, and future-ready.
Think of it like an annual physical for your IT systems. Just as you’d visit a doctor to catch health problems early, an IT Health Check helps you identify and address technology issues before they become expensive crises.
Our process involves a detailed review of your:
According to a 2024 Verizon Data Breach report, 43% of cyberattacks target small businesses often because they have weaker defenses. A professional IT audit ensures you’re not an easy target.
We go beyond a quick scan. Our IT Health Check is a comprehensive assessment that covers every critical part of your technology ecosystem.
Are you running outdated or unsupported applications? Outdated software is one of the top causes of data breaches. We’ll:
Example: A Boston accounting firm we worked with was running an outdated version of QuickBooks that no longer received security patches. We helped them upgrade to a cloud version with built-in security features — reducing their cyber risk overnight.
Security isn’t just about antivirus software. Our cybersecurity scan looks for:
We also run simulated phishing tests to see how employees would respond to real-world threats — and provide immediate training where needed.
If you use Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, or another cloud platform, we’ll ensure you’re using it to its full potential.
In many cases, SMBs are only using 40–50% of the features they’re already paying for. We help you unlock the rest.
What would happen if your office was hit by a fire, flood, or ransomware attack tomorrow?
We simulate recovery scenarios so you know exactly how long it would take to get back online and what it would cost in downtime.
If you handle sensitive data, compliance isn’t optional. We provide guidance for:
We’ll create a compliance checklist so you can meet requirements without overcomplicating your processes.
You might assume that your business is “too small” to attract cybercriminals. The reality? SMBs are often more attractive targets because attackers know smaller companies may lack the resources for strong cybersecurity.
An IT Health Check can:
With Boston’s competitive business environment, a well-maintained IT infrastructure isn’t a luxury, it's a survival tool.
Once the assessment is complete, we’ll give you a detailed report outlining:
We’ll walk you through the report in plain language, without technical jargon. You’ll leave with a clear action plan whether you want to fix issues in-house or partner with us for ongoing managed IT services.
We’re not just another IT provider. We’re local, which means:
Q1: How often should I get an IT Health Check?
At least once a year, or before major technology changes like cloud migrations or office relocations.
Q2: Can we do this ourselves?
You can handle basic checks in-house, but a professional IT audit uses tools and expertise that most SMBs don’t have internally.
Q3: Is this going to disrupt my business?
No. Most of the work is done in the background with minimal impact on your daily operations.
Q4: What’s the difference between an IT Health Check and Managed IT Services?
An IT Health Check is a one-time assessment. Managed IT Services provide ongoing monitoring, updates, and support.
Q5: How much does it cost?
Costs vary based on company size and complexity. RutterNet offers a free initial consultation for Boston SMBs.
