Navigating the Maze of Cybersecurity Solutions for SMBs

Small-to-medium businesses (SMBs) face unique cybersecurity challenges. Defining your specific needs, finding solutions that fit your budget, and ensuring you’re achieving your security goals are all important factors to balance when building out your security solutions.  This can be a daunting task even for seasoned security professionals, let alone a small business that doesn’t have experience in this arena yet. At Total Assure, we understand these challenges deeply, having guided both burgeoning startups and established large organizations alike through the complex landscape of deploying cybersecurity solutions.

Our Engineering Services team offers more than just products; we provide a partnership. We tailor our consulting services to ensure your investments in cybersecurity are wise, affordable, and perfectly suited to your business goals and needs.  Unlike some providers that offer “complete” or “turnkey” solutions that may leave you with unforeseen additional work—aka “technical debt”—we focus on creating sustainable, integrated strategies that avoid these common traps. 

Tailored Cybersecurity Solutions from Concept to Completion

• At Total Assure, we bring expertise and personalized care to every stage of your cybersecurity journey—from selecting the right technologies to implementing them seamlessly into your business. Our Engineering Services are delivered to our customers through our top-notch and highly experienced engineering consultants who’ve helped develop critical systems for large organizations across the US. They’ll be with you from conception to completion and every step in between. Our experts have been finding capable and value-driven cybersecurity technologies that meet businesses unique and technical requirements.

• Our approach is distinctly non-commercial; we prioritize your needs over meeting sales quotas. We always strive to pair capabilities with value. Why do we work this way? Because we know that many of our customers may need our other services down the road; like managed email security or help meeting compliance requirements. We value long-term relationships with our clients over a quick buck. So you can be totally sure about Total Assure.

• Once our team better understands your organization, we work to create use cases for every potential solution. These use cases are dependent on your company’s overall strategy, budget, and existing capabilities. Total Assure helps companies capitalize on their existing IT investments as much as possible before recommending third party solutions. We often find organizations have existing, but underutilized, solutions that can meet the same need as a new product.  When this is the case, we’ll help guide you on how to maximize the existing tool to your benefit.when the use case requires the inclusion of new technologies, our consultants guide you through the acquisition process, including requirements gathering (using the SMART model), potential solutions research, analysis of alternatives, and vendor selection (to include proof-of-concept).

• Once a strategy is decided, and the customer selects a vendor (or opts to capitalize on existing IT infrastructure), our team of dedicated engineers and specialists will   design an implementation plan tailored specifically for your business, ensuring minimal disruption. . Throughout the entire process, we maintain clear and continuous communication and provide updates to timelines, ensuring you stay fully informed and comfortable with every proposed change.  

Maximizing Value in Your Cybersecurity Investments

As IT spending is projected to approach $5 trillion in 2024, an increase of 6.8% from the previous year, the complexity and scale of investments in enterprise-managed IT software and services continues to grow. Despite these expenditures, inefficiencies remain widespread. Surveys indicate that more than half of all enterprises waste at least 10% of their budget on software, SaaS, and cloud services; and nearly a fifth of enterprises report waste as high as 20%. Beyond unused licenses and subscriptions, significant labor costs are incurred as organizations deploy extensive resources to navigate complex cybersecurity solutions that may end up underused due to their complexity, incompatibility, or lack of in-house knowledge to maintain. Total Assure’s mission is to streamline this process, empowering customers to make smart, data-driven IT acquisitions based on value and practicality over sales tactics. Our strategic approach is built around  sustainable adoption and efficient management, aiming for high customer satisfaction throughout the lifecycle of the product.
