Common situations we take on. If one of these is yours, start here.
An IT assessment is a time-boxed look at your computers, network, identity, backup, and vendors so you can decide whether you need an IT company. Some buyers call it an IT checkup, a technology assessment, or a vulnerability assessment. At Klei Technologies it is a discovery engagement with written findings, not a monthly helpdesk and not an automated scan product.
| Ask | IT Assessment | Go here instead |
|---|---|---|
| Evaluate our IT | Written picture of systems, vendors, backup, and open risks | Day-to-day tickets belong under IT Support |
| Is my network secure | A one-time risk picture and recommended next step | Ongoing monitoring and response sit under Cybersecurity |
| Data and reporting | Not this engagement | System audits and BI work live under Data Services |
Time-boxed on purpose. You get a look, a written picture, and a recommended next step. Some checkups end there.

We look at the environment the way an owner would brief a new IT company: what you have, what is aging, and what would fail on a quiet Sunday.
The point is a decision, not a binder that sits on a shelf. You get findings you can act on, and a recommended first engagement if one is warranted.
Most owners want a local firm to walk the environment before they sign a retainer. We run the same checkup in every Ohio market we serve. What changes is how often we are in the room.
The checkup is the front door when you want to evaluate IT first. Ongoing support, security operations, data audits, and larger projects have their own engagements.
Start with the checkup if you want a written picture before you hire an IT company. If you already know you need tickets, monitoring, and a named owner, skip ahead to IT Support.
Honest, orderly project management keeps work on track. Milestones and owners get set before the work ramps up. Status reaches stakeholders before decisions pile up, and a scope change gets a conversation instead of a surprise invoice. Assessments are time-boxed: a defined look, a written summary, and a clear finish. If work continues, it hands off into a retainer or a consulting project under the same ownership standard.
Milestones and owners agreed before the work starts moving.
Regular updates — you should not have to chase us for a status report.
Trade-offs get surfaced early so leadership can make the call, not discover it after.
Many firms advertise a free scan. We start with a conversation, then scope a time-boxed checkup. Short looks can sit inside discovery. Larger ones are a defined project. We quote after we know what to look at. Request an assessment on this form, or start at Become a Client.
A vulnerability assessment usually means finding the weak spots. We inventory systems, identity, backup, and open risks, then write that down. We do not sell a branded automated scan as the product. Ongoing monitoring lives under Cybersecurity.
Yes. Evaluating the computers, the network, and whether the backup would actually restore is the whole job. You get a written picture and a recommended next step. If you already know you need day-to-day computer support, start with IT Support.
You get the summary and a recommended first engagement if one is warranted. That might be Managed IT, Cybersecurity, Fractional CIO/CISO, or a project under IT Consulting. Some engagements end at the assessment because the answer was simpler than expected.
No. Hiring IT support is the ongoing desk: tickets, monitoring, backup, and a named owner. That work is IT Support under Managed IT. Use the assessment when you want to look first.
No. The checkup inventories computers, identity, backup, and vendors, then writes a recommended next step. A penetration test tries to get into a defined part of the environment and writes what worked. Many firms do the checkup first. Insurers and client questionnaires often ask for the test.
