It’s easy to think fraud is something that happens to Fortune 500s. Big headlines. Big losses. Big companies.
But here’s the truth: fraud is bleeding small and midsize businesses too—especially professional firms.
And in many cases, it’s not a hacker brute-forcing their way through your firewall.
It’s someone pretending to be you.
Or your staff.
Or a client.
Or a vendor you’ve worked with for years.
This is identity-based fraud.
And it’s hitting firms with 5 to 50 people harder than most—because the protections just aren’t the same.
It starts with a stolen login or a fake email that looks legit.
A request to update payment details.
An “urgent” invoice.
A fake login screen.
Even an AI-generated voicemail or video that sounds eerily real.
And yes—these scams are working.
According to recent studies, 69% of businesses say they’ve seen a rise in fraud attempts.
Because traditional defenses—firewalls, antivirus, spam filters—don’t help when someone already has your password… or your trust.
But here’s the good news:
Small changes to how you protect identity can make a big impact.
Start with this quick review:
✅ Are your passwords randomly generated and never reused across apps?
✅ Do you require multi-factor authentication (MFA) for email, file access, and admin tools?
✅ Does your team get regular, simple training on spotting modern scams?
✅ Have you explored smarter tools like device recognition or biometric login?
We help firms across Michigan move beyond “just a password” with identity-focused protection that’s actually easy to use—and hard for attackers to bypass.
You don’t need to lock everything down. But you do need a plan.
