IT Resources for New York Businesses
Free guides, checklists, and assessments for New York SMBs. New content added monthly, no signup required.
What does the RP Tech Services resource library include?
The RP Tech Services resource library is a free collection of 12+ IT checklists, playbooks, and frameworks built for New York City business owners and operations leads who want practical guidance without a sales pitch. First, each guide targets a specific decision: evaluating Microsoft 365 migration, preparing for a HIPAA audit, or planning a wireless upgrade across Manhattan, Brooklyn, or Long Island offices. Second, every checklist references real tools like SentinelOne, Barracuda, Veeam, and NIST CSF rather than generic categories. Finally, our research across 300+ supported SMBs shapes the content, so the gaps these guides highlight match what our engineers actually find during assessments. According to a 2024 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, 43% of breaches hit small businesses, and most stem from gaps these checklists cover directly. All resources reflect current 2025 standards and update quarterly.
Browse checklists to audit a current setup. Read playbooks before major IT decisions. Download frameworks aligned to NIST CSF. Every resource is free and version-stamped.
- 12+ checklists, playbooks, and audit templates
- Aligned to NIST CSF and HIPAA Security Rule requirements
- Updated quarterly to reflect Microsoft 365 and SentinelOne changes
Why book a customized assessment instead of using a generic guide?
A customized assessment is a 20-minute discovery call with an RP Tech Services senior engineer that surfaces specific gaps a template cannot detect. First, the engineer reviews the current Microsoft 365 tenant, endpoint protection coverage, and Barracuda or Veeam backup posture. Second, the engineer maps findings against NIST CSF and, for healthcare clients, the HIPAA Security Rule. Finally, the client receives a prioritized roadmap in plain English, ranked by risk and rough remediation cost. According to our 2025 internal data across 180 New York City assessments, 78% of SMBs had at least one critical backup gap, and 62% lacked multi-factor authentication on a privileged account. The assessment runs at no cost and carries no hiring obligation. For example, a Brooklyn law firm with 42 users uncovered three exposed admin accounts in a single 20-minute session.
