How can you tell if you are receiving poor or substandard service?

• Do they answer their phone LIVE and respond to emergencies promptly?
• Are they easy to reach and highly responsive (responding same day) when you need them for non-emergencies?
• Do they proactively monitor, patch and update your computer network’s critical security settings daily? Weekly? At all? How do you know for sure?
• Do they offer proof that they are backing up ALL your data, laptops and devices?
• Do they meet with you regularly (at least once a quarter) to report what they’ve been doing, review projects and offer new ways to improve your network’s performance instead of waiting until you have a problem to make recommendations?
• Do they provide detailed invoices that clearly explain what you are paying for?
• Do they explain what they are doing and answer your questions in terms that you can understand, NOT in “geek speak”?
• Have they proactively discussed cybersecurity with you, and made recommendations for better protecting your network from ransomware?
• Have they provided you complete network documentation, or do they hold the “keys to the kingdom” refusing to give you admin passwords?
• Do they offer any guarantees on their services?
• Do they arrive on time and dress professionally?
• Do you look forward to seeing them, working with them, or do you cringe every time you have to make that call?
