Free Business Diagnostic
The IT Money Leak
Most Colorado businesses are losing $15,000–$80,000 a year to silent IT inefficiencies — without ever seeing a single invoice for it. This 3-minute diagnostic tells you exactly where the money is going.
Answer each question honestly based on how things work today — not how you'd like them to work. There are no wrong answers, only expensive ones you don't know about yet.
At the end, you'll get a personalized Money Leak Score, an estimated annual cost, and a breakdown of exactly where the leaks are — and how to plug them.
Category 01 · Downtime & Productivity Drain
Where Slow Tech Costs Hours
01
Do your employees ever wait more than 2 minutes for their computer to start up or load applications?
Including slow login times, freezing, or needing to restart before starting work
Estimated $8,400/yr in lost productivity
02
Has your business experienced unplanned downtime (internet outage, server failure, software crash) in the last 12 months?
Even one significant outage counts
Estimated $12,000/yr in downtime cost
03
When something tech-related breaks, do your employees try to fix it themselves before getting help?
DIY troubleshooting, Googling fixes, or waiting until it "sorts itself out"
Estimated $6,500/yr in wasted staff hours
04
Are any of your business computers or servers more than 4 years old?
Older hardware typically runs 30–60% slower and fails more frequently
Estimated $5,200/yr in compounded slowdowns
Category 02 · Security & Financial Liability
The Leaks That Can End a Business
05
Does your business rely primarily on built-in Windows Defender or a basic consumer antivirus for security?
No EDR, no managed security monitoring, no dark web scanning
Avg. ransomware incident costs $18,000–$65,000
06
If your server or main computer was destroyed today, could you fully recover your business data within 24 hours?
A backup you've never tested is not a real backup
Estimated $7,500+ recovery cost if incident occurs
07
Do your employees use personal phones, laptops, or home computers to access company email, files, or systems?
BYOD without management creates major liability and compliance exposure
Estimated $9,200/yr in breach exposure risk
08
Does your team use shared passwords, reuse passwords across systems, or skip multi-factor authentication?
82% of breaches involve weak or stolen credentials (Verizon DBIR)
Estimated $4,800/yr in credential-related risk
Category 03 · Software & Subscription Waste
Paying For Tools Nobody Uses
09
Could you list every software subscription your business is paying for right now — including ones employees signed up for themselves?
Shadow IT: tools purchased on company cards without IT visibility
Estimated $4,200/yr in unused subscriptions
10
When an employee leaves, do you have a process to immediately revoke their access and cancel their software licenses?
Microsoft 365, Adobe, Dropbox, etc. seat licenses don't cancel automatically
Estimated $3,600/yr in ghost licenses
11
Does your team use Microsoft 365 (or Google Workspace) but also pay separately for Dropbox, Zoom, or other tools that overlap?
Most M365 plans already include Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, and more
Estimated $5,100/yr in redundant tools
Category 04 · Compliance, Growth & Hidden Risk
The Leaks You Can't See Coming
12
If a client, insurer, or regulator asked you to prove your cybersecurity posture today, could you provide documented evidence?
Relevant for law firms (ABA), CPAs (IRS Safeguards), healthcare (HIPAA), manufacturers (contracts)
Estimated $11,000+ in compliance liability exposure
13
Does your current IT support only show up when something breaks — rather than proactively monitoring and preventing issues?
Break/fix IT is always more expensive than managed prevention
Estimated $6,000/yr more in reactive vs. managed costs
14
Have your employees received any formal phishing awareness or cybersecurity training in the last 12 months?
Human error causes 88% of data breaches — untrained staff are your biggest vulnerability
Estimated $4,400/yr in preventable human-error risk
15
Does your business have cyber liability insurance — and have you verified what it actually covers?
Many basic policies don't cover ransomware, wire fraud, or employee errors
Estimated $7,800+ in uninsured incident exposure
16
Does your business have a planned IT budget and technology roadmap for the next 12 months?
Without a plan, tech purchases are reactive and almost always cost 40–60% more
Estimated $5,500/yr in unplanned overspend
17
If your team works remotely or hybrid, do you have secure VPN or Zero Trust access controls in place?
Home networks and coffee shop WiFi are among the most exploited attack vectors
Estimated $3,800/yr in remote access exposure
18
Do you know when all of your IT contracts, warranties, and software agreements expire — and who owns each vendor relationship?
Auto-renewals and lapsed warranties quietly drain thousands each year
Estimated $4,600/yr in auto-renewals and expired warranties
