Security consulting · Mt. Gilead, North Carolina
Attackers go after small businesses because most have no IT department and no defenses. Svette Consulting reviews your security the way an attacker sees it — accounts, email, backups, network — then fixes the holes with you, in plain English.
When was the last time anybody actually checked your security? Not “do you have antivirus” — someone going through your accounts, passwords and MFA, sharing settings, backups and updates, and telling you honestly where the holes are. Most businesses have never had it done once. And security you’ve never checked is just a hope.
Services
A full review of your Google Workspace or Microsoft 365: accounts and admin access, MFA and sign-in security, file sharing, email authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), and risky apps. You get a written findings report, then we harden everything with you and leave a record of every setting.
Our most-requested service
Backups set up properly — and then proven. We design a backup plan for your files, email and key systems, and test-restore from it so you know it works before the day you desperately need it to.
Tested, not just installed
Computers, Wi-Fi and routers configured the way they should be: updates managed, endpoints protected, guest and staff networks separated, and remote access done safely instead of hopefully.
For offices, shops & churches
Design and installation of PoE camera systems with an NVR: camera placement, clean cable runs, recording and motion settings, phone viewing for your team, and training on finding and exporting footage.
Churches & storefronts welcome
Security isn’t one-and-done. A monthly care plan keeps an eye on your accounts and alerts, checks your backups, applies the changes new threats require, and gives you someone to call before a small thing becomes a breach.
For review clients
Not sure what you need? That’s normal. We’ll look at what you’ve got, tell you honestly what matters and what doesn’t, and help you spend money only where it actually reduces risk.

How it works
A short call and a look at your accounts and systems. We agree on scope and a fixed price before any work starts — no surprises.
We go through accounts, sign-in security, email, sharing, devices and backups, highest risk first, and write up what we find in plain English.
We fix the findings with you over a few scheduled sessions: MFA, sharing cleanup, email authentication, backup testing, alerts — all of it.
You get the findings report, a record of your settings, and a simple checklist for when people join or leave — plus a settle-in check a few weeks later.
About
Svette Consulting is a husband-and-wife practice based in Mt. Gilead, NC, serving small businesses, churches and nonprofits across Stanly County and the surrounding area. Giovanni leads the security work — reviews, hardening, backups and camera systems — and Angela keeps the business side running.
We started Svette Consulting because small organizations deserve the same quality of security advice the big companies get, explained by a person who will sit across the table from you — not a call center.
FAQ
Yes — small is exactly who attackers target, because small usually means unguarded. A review is sized and priced for small businesses, and the most dangerous fixes (MFA, sharing, backups) are usually the cheapest ones.
No. We work with what you already use — Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, your current computers and network — and secure it properly before suggesting you buy anything.
Hardening is scheduled in short sessions, most of it outside your busiest hours, and changes are explained before they happen. Your team keeps working.
We’re based in Mt. Gilead and serve Stanly County and nearby communities — Albemarle, Troy, Norwood, and surrounding areas. Remote reviews are available anywhere.
You keep the findings report, your settings record, and the joiner/leaver checklist. Many clients move to a monthly care plan so someone keeps watching — that part is entirely up to you.
