Businesses rely on technology more than ever, but without dedicated IT support, things can spiral fast. From cybersecurity gaps to unreliable networks, these common tech problems don’t just slow you down—they put your entire business at risk.

At Technik IT Services, we specialize in solving these exact issues for businesses across the Great Lakes region. Here are five of the most frequent IT headaches we see—and how you can stop them before they start.

1. Weak Cybersecurity Protections
Problem: Many small businesses assume they’re “too small” to be targeted. The truth? Over 40% of cyberattacks are aimed at small businesses.

Fix: Start with multi-factor authentication, strong password policies, endpoint protection, and employee training. Better yet—partner with a managed IT provider to continuously monitor threats.

Need help assessing your cybersecurity posture? Technik offers free consultations to identify your vulnerabilities.

2. Unreliable or Slow Networks
Problem: Wi-Fi that cuts out, slow file transfers, and dropped video calls kill productivity—and frustrate teams and customers alike.

Fix: A professional network assessment can identify bottlenecks and outdated equipment. Technik can help you design and maintain a network that works reliably at scale.

3. Outdated Hardware and Software
Problem: Old devices and unsupported software are not only slow—they’re a security risk.

Fix: Implement a lifecycle plan to phase out outdated tech. Technik offers hardware procurement, software updates, and patch management to keep you protected and efficient.

4. Data Backup and Disaster Recovery Gaps
Problem: One accidental file deletion—or a ransomware attack—and your business could lose critical data.

Fix: Every business needs a robust, automated data backup system and a disaster recovery plan. Technik builds custom backup strategies for small business peace of mind.

5. No Dedicated IT Support
Problem: When tech issues hit, you don’t have time to Google a fix. And relying on “a guy who knows computers” isn’t a strategy.

Fix: A Managed IT Services Provider (like Technik) gives you expert helpdesk support, proactive monitoring, and strategic IT planning—without the cost of hiring a full-time IT staff.
