Cyber and physical security in Cassville, MO.Every cityneeds a hero.Yours keeps watch.

The window

One password for every account. The same one for years.

Accounts, passwords, two factor sign in, updates, router settings and backups, checked and locked down for homes and small businesses, and explained in plain English.

Front door

Cyber security checkups

Most break ins do not take a genius. They take a reused password, a missed update, or a router still on the password it came with. A checkup finds those open doors and closes them before somebody else finds them.

Lit window

Too many passwords to remember?

No. A password manager remembers them for you. You remember one strong password, and it fills in the rest.

Lit window

Reset emails you never asked for?

Someone may be trying your accounts. Change that password from a device you trust, turn on two factor sign in, then send the signal.

Phone on the stand

What is two factor sign in?

A second check after your password, like a code sent to your phone. Even if someone steals the password, they still cannot get in without that second step.

Second phone

Start with email

Your email can reset the password on almost everything else you own. If someone gets into it, they can get into the rest. That is why email gets locked down first, with a strong password of its own and two factor sign in.

Magnifier

Find the open doors

Reused passwords, missing updates, factory settings, remote access tools nobody needs, and old accounts that should be closed.

The red screen

A popup says call this number. It is lying.

Fake security alerts, popups you can't close, strangers with remote access. We clean it out, shut the doors they used, and show you what to watch for.

Front door

Virus and scam removal

A full screen warning says your computer is infected and you need to call a number right now. It looks official. It isn't. Here is what to do in the next five minutes, and what we do after that.

Upstairs

Already let them connect?

Turn the computer off. If you shared any card or account details, call your bank from another phone. Then call us. We'll remove what they installed and check what they could reach.

Rose window

Lock the back door

Scammers often install remote access software so they can come back later. We find it and remove it.

The alert

Is the warning real?

If it has a phone number in it, it's fake. Microsoft, Apple and real antivirus programs don't put phone numbers in their warnings and don't ask you to call. Nobody legitimate asks to be paid in gift cards.

Lantern

If it is happening right now

Do not call the number. Do not let anyone connect. Hold the power button until the computer turns off. Then call us or send the signal.

The lunch counter

Somebody clicked the link in an invoice nobody ordered.

Office computers, the register, the network and the back office closet, kept running and locked down. Security first, with a master’s degree in cybersecurity behind the work.

Front door

Small business security and IT

A small business runs on a few computers, a register, a network and a closet nobody looks in. When one of them goes down, or ends up in the wrong hands, the business stops. We get you back up, then close the doors the trouble came through.

Glass blocks

Harden

With a master's degree in cybersecurity behind the work, we close the holes that caused the outage or the scare: shared logins, old accounts, open WiFi and unlocked closets.

Booths

Somebody clicked a bad link?

Disconnect that computer from the network, then change the password for any account they typed in, from a different device. Then call us and we will check what the link did.

Back office

A closet nobody checks?

The network closet is part of your security. A physical security check walks it with three questions: is it operating, is it safe, and is it unaltered?

Register

Keep customers off your network

Guest WiFi should be its own network, separate from the register and the office computers. Someone checking their phone at your counter should never be one hop away from your payment system.

Wall light

Work around our hours?

Tell us when it works for you and we'll be straight about whether we can make it.

Living room

Still on the password printed on the sticker. And nothing reaches the back bedroom.

Mesh WiFi set up the right way and locked down: strong encryption, a fresh admin password, a guest network for visitors and smart devices, and a signal that reaches every room.

Back room

Smart TV on the same network as your laptop?

Cameras, doorbells, smart plugs and TVs rarely get security updates. A guest network keeps them apart from the laptop you bank on.

Front door

WiFi and home network security

Your router is the front door to every device in the house. If it still has the password it came with, or the signal dies two rooms away, both get fixed: the right equipment in the right spots, set up the right way, and locked.

Router

Change the router password

For the WiFi it can be a decent start, but the admin password that controls the router should be changed. Whoever controls the router can see and redirect everything on your network.

Antenna

Buy a mesh kit first?

No. If you already have one, we'll set it up. If not, we can tell you what makes sense for the size and layout of your home before you spend anything.

Mesh node

The step most installs miss

A mesh system stacked behind the provider modem makes two routers fight. We set the modem to bridge mode so the mesh runs the whole show.

Fire escape

Will I lose my files?

Most repairs never touch your files. If a repair could put them at risk, we tell you before we start.

The bench

Won't boot. Spinning forever. Fan screaming.

Dead laptops, slow desktops, cracked phone screens and tablets that won't charge. We find out why, fix it, and tell you straight if it isn't worth fixing.

Front door

Computer, phone and tablet repair

Desktops and laptops that won't start, crawl, freeze or run hot. Phones and tablets with cracked glass or a charging port that only works at an angle. We figure out what is actually wrong, tell you what the fix costs, and explain it in plain English.

Lit window

Cracked phone screen?

If the phone still works, back up your photos first, and find the exact model under Settings, then About, so the right part gets ordered the first time.

Water tower

Spill, drop or crack?

Turn it off, leave it off, and tell us what happened. Powering it on to check can make it worse.

Open laptop

What to bring

The make and model, usually on a sticker underneath or on the back, and your charger if you still have it.

Green lamp

Diagnose first

We find the real cause, not just the symptom. Hardware, software, or both.

The window

My character keeps walking off on his own.

Handheld screens and drifting joysticks, Nintendo Switch included. We order the right parts and get you back in the game.

Front door

Game console repair

Your character walks off on their own. The screen has a crack across the middle. Handheld consoles take a beating, and most of that damage can be fixed.

Controllers

What is joystick drift?

Drift is when the stick registers movement while you aren't touching it, so your character or camera slides around on its own. It comes from wear inside the stick, and the fix is replacing the stick module.

Arcade cabinet

Save your progress

Save your game progress if the console still works, and note when the problem started.

Storm drain

Parts and deposits

When a repair needs parts ordered, a deposit may be needed to cover them. We'll tell you up front.

Old TV

Not sure what is wrong?

Describe it and we will tell you if it can be fixed.

Open console

Confirm the model

A Switch and a Switch Lite take different parts. We confirm yours first.
