Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers, in plain English.

What type of businesses do you help?+

Small and growing businesses that need practical cybersecurity guidance, and organizations that need additional cybersecurity expertise alongside an existing IT team.

What does a cybersecurity assessment involve?+

A structured review of your environment, current security controls, key risks and business priorities — followed by a prioritized set of practical improvements.

Do small businesses really need cybersecurity services?+

Yes. Smaller businesses are frequent targets precisely because attackers assume defenses are lighter. Practical controls make a measurable difference.

How often should vulnerabilities be assessed?+

Continuously, in some form. The right cadence depends on your environment, exposure and business impact — that's part of what we help define.

Why is MFA important?+

MFA is one of the highest-impact, lowest-cost controls a business can put in place. It significantly reduces the risk of stolen passwords becoming full account takeovers.

What is least privilege?+

It means giving each user and system only the access they truly need to do their job — no more. It limits the damage of a compromised account.

How should a business protect its backups?+

Have them, isolate them, protect them from being modified or deleted by attackers, and — critically — test that you can actually restore from them.

What happens if an employee falls for phishing?+

The impact depends on your controls: MFA, endpoint protection, monitoring and a clear incident reporting path can turn a click into a contained event instead of a breach.

How does cybersecurity awareness training work?+

Regular, practical, relevant training grounded in real-world examples — not a one-off lecture. The goal is a security-aware culture, not a memorized checklist.

Can Kennyvicops work with an existing IT provider?+

Yes. We regularly work alongside internal IT teams and external providers to add security expertise where it's needed.

Do you provide remote cybersecurity consulting?+

Yes. Most of our engagements can be delivered remotely, with on-site work when it adds value.
