Tue Feb 03 2026
Most owners don’t think about IT until something fails and by then, the damage is already done. In this episode, Chris Sirianni (IT Insights of Rochester / GRC Insights) explains why reactive technology decisions quietly drain profit, erode trust, and put your data (and revenue) at risk. He lays out a practical, owner-friendly approach to treating IT as business continuity, not just “tech support,” so you can prevent fires instead of paying for clean-up.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
The real cost of waiting: why “we’ll fix it when it breaks” is so expensive
Hidden risk, real consequences: how reactive decisions don’t show up on the P&L until it’s too late
Before the breach: why most cybersecurity failures start long before an incident
Continuity > break/fix: how to run IT like an insurance policy for revenue and operations
Early warning signs: subtle system failures owners ignore (and how to spot them)
Proactive protection: planning that safeguards cash flow, reputation, and customer trust
Better questions, better outcomes: what to ask your IT provider that most owners never do
🎧 Listen now and turn IT from a recurring headache into a strategic advantage that keeps your business running—and your customers confident.
