Sample deliverables
What you actually get, shown with a made-up office.
Owners ask what a checkup or a restore test hands them at the end. These four samples show the format. The business, the people, and every number on this page are fictional.

Office checkup findings
From a $350 office checkup at Sample Tax and Accounting, a fictional 9 person office. Most important first, with a price next to each fix.
| Priority | What we found | Why it matters | Fix and price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Two-step login is off for 4 of 9 mailboxes, including the owner's | Email takeover is a common start to payment fraud | Turn it on for everyone, part of Microsoft 365 setup from $1,200 |
| 2 | Backups run nightly, but nobody has ever restored from them | An untested backup may not bring the business back | Recovery testing, quoted after a short review |
| 3 | The domain is registered under the former IT company's account | A missed renewal notice could take email offline | Move it to an account the business owns, part of a handover |
| 4 | Two computers run Windows 10 without Extended Security Updates | They no longer receive regular security fixes | Upgrade one, replace one, quoted in writing |
| 5 | Guest Wi-Fi uses the same network as the office computers | A visitor's device can see the office computers | Separate guest network, part of Wi-Fi and network from $2,500 |
Real findings lists are written for your office and are yours to keep, whether or not you hire us.

Restore test record
From a recovery test at Sample Tax and Accounting, a fictional 9 person office. Times are what the test measured on the day, not a promise for the next time.
| System | What we restored | Result | Time measured | Depends on |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shared client files | One client folder, 2,300 files, to a spare laptop | Complete, files opened | 38 minutes | Backup login with two-step code |
| Owner's mailbox | Full mailbox to a test account | Complete | 1 hour 10 minutes | Microsoft 365 admin access |
| Desktop tax software | Program plus last night's data to a spare computer | Partial. Data restored, program needed a license reset from the vendor | 2 hours 45 minutes including the vendor call | Vendor support line and license key |
Each real record also lists the recovery steps for the tested system and the fixes the test turned up.

Security evidence summary
The kind of summary we assemble for a customer questionnaire or an insurer at Sample Tax and Accounting, a fictional 9 person office. Each line points to proof kept on file.
| Control | Status | Evidence on file | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|
| Two-step login on all email | In place for 9 of 9 mailboxes | Admin report screenshot | Sample date |
| Security software on every computer | In place on 11 of 11 computers | Management console export | Sample date |
| Backups kept separate and tested | In place, last test restore passed | Restore test record | Sample date |
| Staff security training | Held once this year | Sign-in sheet | Sample date |
| Former staff removed | No active accounts for former staff | Account list review | Sample date |
| Supported software | Not yet. One computer on Windows 10, replacement scheduled | Device list with versions | Sample date |
A real summary reports what is true, including the gaps, and you approve it before it goes anywhere.

Network and account handover checklist
From an IT provider handover at Sample Tax and Accounting, a fictional 9 person office. Every account ends up owned by the business, with recovery details it controls.
| Account or system | Owner before | Owner after | Recovery contact | Renews |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Domain registration and DNS | Former IT company | Business account, owner as admin | Owner email and mobile | Sample month |
| Microsoft 365 global admin | Former IT company email | Two named business admins | Owner email and mobile | Sample month |
| Firewall and Wi-Fi console | Unknown, password on a sticky note | Business account, password in the password manager | Office manager | No renewal |
| Camera recorder | The camera company's account | Business account | Owner | No renewal |
| Backup service | Former IT company | Business account | Owner | Sample month |
| Former provider access | Active | Removed and confirmed | Not applicable | Not applicable |
Real checklists are signed off with the owner and kept with the shared documentation.
