A real cybersecurity horror story unfolds as Justin reveals his most shocking discovery ever: a 34-computer business paying $2,000 monthly for IT services while receiving literally nothing in return. Windows 7 machines, zero backups, no antivirus, failing systems, and unlicensed software - all while the business owner believed they were protected.

In this Halloween special episode, Justin and Bryan share spine-chilling tales from their IT audits and provide a practical checklist every business owner needs to verify they're actually getting what they pay for from their IT provider. Learn the critical questions to ask, red flags to watch for, and why quarterly business reviews aren't optional.

Key takeaways include framework-based cybersecurity approaches, the importance of documented processes, and why "trust but verify" should be every business owner's motto when it comes to IT services.

Don't let your business become the next cautionary tale. This episode could save your company from financial devastation.
