Small business security checkupYour business can
run smoothly.
And still have
security gaps.

An email pretending to be your business. An unnecessary opening online. A normal workday may give you no reason to notice either.

A $497 external security assessment for small businesses. See what needs attention in your public email, website and internet-facing systems—with a clear action plan.

Imagine this customer message
A customerTo: your business
Question about your invoice
“I got an email with new bank details.
Was that really you?”
Your customer is checking.
Your reputation is part of the conversation.
You didn’t send it.

Now you need answers—and your customer needs reassurance.

Illustrative scenario, not a client incident. Impersonation can happen in several ways. This checkup reviews public email-domain protections; it does not detect or prevent every email scam.

The business side of a security gap

You could lose more
than a quiet afternoon.

A security concern can become a customer conversation, an interrupted workday or an unexpected expense. Understanding an exposure gives you a place to start.

01

A customer’s trust

A message that appears to come from your business can leave a customer questioning what is genuine.

Your reputation is worth checking for.
02

Your team’s time

Uncertainty can pull you and your IT provider away from serving customers while you work out what happened.

Clear priorities make the next step easier.
03

Unexpected costs

Investigating an incident, addressing an exposure or sorting out a payment dispute can require work you did not plan for.

Know what deserves attention.

These are possible consequences, not findings about your business. An external checkup is one limited assessment; it cannot guarantee that an incident will be prevented.

A practical first step

What your $497
security checkup covers.

Wolex checks selected protections visible from the public internet. You receive the findings, their meaning and an ordered list of next steps.

Email-domain protections

We review public settings for your email domain—the part after @—to identify gaps in protections against someone falsely using it. These include SPF and DMARC email policies.

Public settings, not mailbox contents.

Unnecessary openings online

We check selected connection points on the public internet addresses you authorize and flag observations for professional review.

An opening is not proof of a break-in.

Website security checks

We review selected website protections, including HTTPS redirects, browser security headers and cookie settings. Your report explains what deserves attention from your provider.

A focused review, not a full website test.

Why check when nothing seems wrong?

Working systems
tell only part
of the story.

A working website or inbox tells you the service is available. It does not tell you whether all the relevant public protections are in place.

If you are unsure what has been checked, start by asking. This service gives you evidence within an agreed scope, before you decide what work is needed.

Three straightforward steps

How your external
security assessment works.

01

Confirm the scope

Authorize the exact public assets to review. Unsure what to provide? Ask about fit before paying.

02

Get a reviewed report

Wolex checks the agreed assets and reviews the observations before explaining the priorities.

03

Act with your provider

Agree which changes to make, then request the included limited retest within 30 days.

Exactly what does the $497 cover?
Up to 5 named public domains or hostnames and 6 named public IPv4 addresses. Checks cover public domain and email settings, selected website protections and connections to common internet services. Whole network ranges and additional targets need a separately agreed scope.

The fee includes a professionally reviewed report and one limited retest requested within 30 days. It does not include repairs, internal device or account reviews, penetration testing, a breach investigation, or compliance certification. It cannot identify every weakness or guarantee security.

Need more assets reviewed? Request an expanded-scope quote before paying.

Authorized public-IP exposure checks are connect-only: no credentials, service payloads, banners or exploits. Public domain checks also include mail routing, name servers, CAA and DNSSEC. Website checks include security-contact publication.

questions, answered.

A useful checkup starts with the right expectations.

Ask about fit first →
What is a small business cybersecurity assessment?

It is a review of selected security protections, with findings and recommended next steps. Wolex’s $497 checkup is a limited external assessment: it reviews authorized public domains, website protections and internet connection points. It does not review your entire business, internal network or employee accounts.

How much does the security checkup cost?

The fixed price is $497 for up to 5 named public domains or hostnames and 6 named public IPv4 addresses. It includes a professionally reviewed report and one limited retest requested within 30 days. Repairs and broader assessments are quoted separately.

How soon will I get my security report?

Your report is normally delivered within 2 business days after complete intake. The exact assets and your authority to request testing must be confirmed first.

We already have IT support. Why would we do this?

First ask your provider whether they already review these public-facing protections and can show you current results. If you want an additional review or a clearer handoff, Wolex can provide it. You do not have to change providers.

Will this stop fake invoices or ransomware?

No checkup can promise that. This service reviews selected public protections and recommends actions. It does not inspect mailboxes or internal computers, prevent every impersonation method, or include the fixes. Staff procedures and other security controls still matter.

What if we already suspect a problem?

A suspected breach, stolen payment or unusual account activity needs an appropriate investigation. This limited external checkup cannot establish or rule out a compromise. Ask about the right service before paying.

Are fixes included in the $497?

No. You receive the external review, report and one limited retest requested within 30 days. Your current provider can carry out approved changes, or Wolex can quote the work separately.

What if you find no urgent issues?

Your report still documents the observations, positive controls and guidance within scope. That is useful information, but it is not a guarantee that your entire business is secure.

Do I need a call during the workday?

No. You can ask about fit by email. Exact scope and authorization are confirmed before testing; no passwords or software installation are required.

A simple first step

Is this the right check for your business?

Tell us what prompted your question. We’ll reply by email, generally within two business days, so there is no need to schedule a workday call.

This is a free question about fit, not a free technical assessment. We will confirm scope and authorization before any testing.

Please do not submit passwords, exact targets, or sensitive files. Your details are used to answer this question and do not sign you up for marketing. Privacy details.
