Free On-Site IT Assessment
A free on-site IT assessment is a visit from a Computer Services Reno technician to your office. We look at your computers, network, backups and security, then give you a prioritized list of what to fix. It is open to businesses in Reno, Sparks and Carson City, with no cost and no obligation to buy anything.

What does an on-site IT assessment cover?
The visit is a practical look at the technology your staff use every day. It is not a sales pitch and not an audit. The aim is a clear, honest view of where things stand, and it is a simple way to start with our computer services in Reno.
Computers
The desktops and laptops your team works on, and how well they are kept up to date and protected.
Network
Your internet connection, firewall, Wi-Fi and the equipment that ties the office together.
Backups
Whether your important data is being backed up, and whether you could get it back.
Security
The basics that defend against common attacks, such as sign-in protection and up-to-date software.
You finish with a prioritized list of what to fix, in plain language so a business owner can decide what to do next.
Why should a small business get an IT assessment?
Most small offices build their IT one purchase at a time. A new laptop here, a Wi-Fi router there, a backup drive someone plugged in years ago. Nobody steps back to check how it all fits together until something fails.
An assessment gives you that step back. It helps you:
- find problems while they are still cheap to fix;
- see which old equipment needs replacing first;
- check whether your backups are set up to support a restore;
- plan an IT budget around facts instead of guesses;
- get an accurate quote for managed IT services if you want ongoing help.
Why have a technician visit instead of a remote scan?
Remote scans only see what is connected and reachable. A person in your office sees the rest: the server sitting on the floor of a supply closet, the tangle of cables behind the front desk, the printer everyone works around, the sticky note with the admin password.
A visit also lets your staff point out the problems they live with every day, which rarely show up in a report. That is the reason our team does this in person, as part of our on-site support approach.

Is a free IT assessment the same as a compliance risk assessment?
No. Regulated businesses sometimes hear "assessment" and assume it covers their legal paperwork. It does not. Here is how the free visit compares with the formal documents some rules require.
| Question | Free on-site IT assessment | HIPAA risk analysis or FTC written risk assessment |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | A practical look at your IT and what to fix first | A documented analysis required by the rule |
| Who owns it | You keep the findings | Your business, as part of its compliance program |
| Covers | Computers, network, backups and security | Risks to protected information across your whole organization |
| Satisfies the regulation on its own | No | That is its job |
| Useful as input | Yes, for the technical side | Draws on technical findings like these |
It is a starting point, not a substitute for your formal HIPAA risk analysis or FTC written risk assessment. If you answer to those rules, read about HIPAA IT compliance or the FTC Safeguards Rule, and see how our IT work supports the technical safeguards.
What happens after the IT assessment?
You decide. You can take the list to your current IT person, fix a few items yourself, or ask us for a flat monthly quote to take care of it; you can read how managed IT pricing works before you decide. There are no contracts or minimums either way, and we work with businesses only, not home users.
