Free · 30 minutes For Hillsboro & Portland-area businesses

Who’s actually running your IT? Find out in 30 minutes.

The IT Reality Check is a free 30-minute conversation about who owns each piece of your technology today — accounts, devices, email, backups, security, vendors — and where nobody does. No access to your systems. Nothing installed. Within two business days you get a one-page IT Responsibility Map you can act on, whether or not you ever work with MGI.

Built for businesses with roughly 10–100 people and no full-time IT lead. It’s a conversation, not an audit — and not a sales pitch.

What we talk about

Six areas. One question for each: who owns this, and how do you know it’s working?

Most small businesses run on assumptions — that backups are working, that accounts are protected, that the licensing bill is right, that “our IT guy” has it covered. In 30 minutes we replace assumptions with a clear picture of who is responsible for what, and where the gaps are.

01

Accounts & access

Who creates a login when someone starts and removes it when they leave. Whether MFA is on for everyone. Who holds the admin credentials.

02

Devices

How many, who buys and sets them up, what happened the last time one died, and whether anything is running out of support.

03

Email & identity

Who administers your email and identity platform, whichever it is, how many licenses vs. how many people, and what’s publicly visible about your domain’s email protection.

04

Backups

What’s backed up, where, how often — and when a restore was last actually tested. “We think it’s backed up” is a finding.

05

Security posture

How suspicious emails get handled, whether a cyber-insurance questionnaire would go smoothly, and who you’d call at 2 a.m.

06

Vendors & support

Who you call for what, how many vendors touch the environment, and who sorts it out when two of them point at each other.

Nothing is installed and no passwords change hands. The Reality Check is a conversation plus a look at what’s publicly visible about your domain. If a real assessment makes sense afterward, that’s a separate, scoped step — and we’ll say so plainly.

Who this is for

If any of these sound familiar, the map will be worth your 30 minutes.

MGI is a veteran-owned managed IT provider in Hillsboro, Oregon. We don’t sell tickets — we build operating context: your support history, system knowledge, vendor relationships, and business priorities connected into one picture. The Reality Check is that idea applied to your business in half an hour, and the map is yours to keep either way.

01The owner or office manager is the default IT coordinator.

02There’s an “IT person” — a contractor, a relative, a capable employee — but nobody owns the whole picture.

03A cyber-insurance renewal, a new hire, or a growth spurt is about to ask questions you can’t answer yet.

04The email and software licensing bill has grown and nobody remembers why.

Questions owners ask

Straight answers before you book.

Is this really free?

Yes. The 30-minute conversation and the one-page IT Responsibility Map cost nothing. If you’d like help with what the map surfaces, we’ll tell you what that would involve — but there’s no obligation and no follow-up pressure.

Do I need to give you access to anything?

No. Nothing is installed and no passwords change hands. We work from what you tell us and what’s publicly visible about your domain. A real technical assessment needs access and is a separate, scoped engagement — the Reality Check tells you whether one is even worth doing.

We already have someone handling IT.

That’s exactly who this is for. Most businesses have someone doing IT; fewer have someone who owns all of it. The map either confirms things are covered or shows where responsibility is quietly falling through the cracks. Either answer is useful.

What do I actually get?

Within two business days: a one-page IT Responsibility Map — who owns each of the six areas today, where it’s unclear or unowned, what’s publicly visible about your domain, and the three things to settle first. Plain English, no jargon, yours to forward to a partner or your current IT person.
