What Is a Security Audit — And Why Every Small Business and Individual Needs One
At Exploit Security, we specialize in one thing: helping people get a real handle on their digital and physical security without the noise, jargon, or unnecessary upsells. We built this service for individuals and small businesses who know they need protection — but don’t know where to start or who to trust.
Whether it’s your home Wi-Fi, business email, or the devices your family uses every day, most security issues go unnoticed until it’s too late. Our mission is to quietly and thoroughly find those weak points before someone else does.
You don’t need to be a tech expert to protect what matters — you just need the right eyes on your setup.
What Is a Security Audit?
A security audit is a professional assessment of your digital and physical setup to identify where you're most vulnerable — and how to fix it. It's not about scare tactics or selling you software. It's about getting a clear, expert view of how secure you really are.
At Exploit Security, we break it down into the areas that matter most:
Devices – Are your phones, laptops, routers, and smart devices properly secured?
Networks – Is your home or office network open to attack?
Cloud Accounts – Are your email, storage, and collaboration tools hardened?
Configurations – Are default settings exposing you without your knowledge?
Behavior – Are you or your team using risky habits like weak passwords or unsecured apps?
No two people or businesses are alike. That’s why we don’t use templates, recycled checklists, or bloated reports. Every audit is tailored to you — your setup, your needs, your risk.
Why It Matters
Cybersecurity isn’t just for big corporations—it’s crucial for everyone. Here’s why:
📊 Small Businesses Are Primary Targets
43–46% of all cyberattacks are aimed at small businesses.
Only 14% of SMBs feel prepared to defend themselves.
60% of small businesses close within six months of a breach.
💸 The Financial Fallout is Real
SMEs lose an average of $25,000 per incident, with some breaches costing up to $653,000.
The global average cost of a data breach hit $4.88 million in 2024 — a 10% increase from 2023.
In the U.S., scammers stole a record $16.6 billion in 2024 — up 33% from the year before.
🧍♂️ Human Error Is Almost Always Involved
95% of breaches result from human mistakes like misconfigured settings or weak passwords.
80% of attacks leverage stolen or reused login credentials.
🛑 Recovery Is Tough — Emotionally and Operationally
50% of SMBs take over 24 hours to recover; 51% experience 8–24 hours of downtime.
55% of consumers say they would stop doing business with a company after a breach.
Victims often suffer identity theft, lost productivity, and long-term stress.
🔚 The Stakes Keep Rising
Global cybercrime costs are projected to reach $10.5 trillion annually by 2025.
A cyberattack occurs every 39 seconds.
🧭 Bottom Line
Security audits are not optional — they’re essential. The numbers are clear:
You're a target. You can't fix what you don't know is broken. Every breach costs more than money — it costs time, trust, and peace of mind.
Who This Is For
Our Security Audit service is designed for real people facing real risks — not just tech teams or Fortune 500s. If any of the following sounds like you, you're exactly who we built this for:
👔 Small Business Owners
You're wearing every hat — and cybersecurity might not be one of them. Whether you handle client data, invoices, or work remotely, you can’t afford a breach that takes down your operations or damages your reputation.
🧑💻 Freelancers or Remote Professionals
You work from home or on the go, logging into critical platforms from unsecured networks or personal devices. One misstep — like a leaked credential — can compromise everything from your projects to your income.
🏠 Families with Smart Devices
Your home is connected — Alexa, Ring, iPads, TVs, thermostats. But is it secure? Most families have no idea their router, baby monitor, or gaming console could be an open door for attackers.
⚠️ Anyone Who’s Had a Breach or Privacy Scare
If you’ve been hacked, phished, impersonated, or compromised before — you know how disruptive it is. We help you make sure it never happens again, with clear guidance and tailored fixes.
Why We Do It This Way
🔐 Discretion First
Our clients often deal with sensitive data, financial risk, or personal privacy concerns. Working by referral helps us maintain a high level of confidentiality and focus.
🎯 Precision Over Templates
Every audit is built from the ground up. No generic checklists. No fluff. Just the exact work needed to help you reduce real risk — nothing more, nothing less.
❌ No Upsells. No Scare Tactics. No Bloat.
We won’t try to sell you managed services, overpriced tools, or “urgent” fixes you don’t need. You’ll get an honest, expert-driven assessment and a clear path forward — with zero pressure to do anything else.
