How Our Discovery Calls Help Your Business
A quick call that sets the stage for your IT assessment.
At HERO Managed Services, every free IT and cybersecurity assessment begins with a short discovery call designed to understand your unique business needs. This call typically lasts 20–30 minutes and gives our Tampa Bay IT experts the opportunity to learn about your current systems, technology frustrations, and long-term goals. During the call, we'll ask about your network setup, common issues like downtime or slow performance, cybersecurity concerns such as phishing or ransomware, and compliance requirements including HIPAA, legal, or financial regulations.
Unlike pushy sales pitches, our discovery calls are consultative—focused on listening to you and tailoring the upcoming assessment around your priorities. This step ensures that when we conduct the full IT assessment, both remotely and onsite, we're addressing the challenges that matter most to your business. By starting with a clear, client-focused conversation, HERO delivers assessments that provide actionable insights, uncover hidden risks, and create a roadmap for stronger, more secure IT.

It’s not just statewide recognition—it’s proof that companies in Clearwater, St. Pete, and Tampa have experienced firsthand the difference HERO delivers in cybersecurity, compliance, and reliable IT services.
Our free IT assessment provides Tampa Bay businesses with a complete picture of their technology health. We review your network configuration, firewalls, servers, workstations, and mobile devices. We test cybersecurity defenses, including antivirus, patch management, and multi-factor authentication. We also evaluate backups, disaster recovery readiness, and compliance with regulations like HIPAA for healthcare and data privacy for legal and financial firms. The result is a customized report that highlights vulnerabilities, inefficiencies, and opportunities to save money and improve performance.
After a quick discovery call, HERO can usually start your assessment within a few days. Because we work with many Tampa Bay businesses, we balance efficiency with thoroughness. Most assessments, which include both remote monitoring and onsite visits, take between 7 and 14 days. This ensures we capture a detailed, accurate view of your systems without disrupting your daily operations in Clearwater, Tampa, or St. Pete.

Yes. For businesses in Tampa Bay, the free IT and cybersecurity assessment comes with no cost, no strings, and no obligation. We believe in delivering value first, so you can see what we uncover before making any decisions.

Most Tampa Bay businesses are surprised by the results. Common discoveries include outdated software, unpatched systems, weak or shared passwords, firewalls that aren’t configured properly, and backup systems that haven’t been tested. On the efficiency side, we often find slow networks, aging computers that need replacing, or cloud services being paid for but not used. By uncovering these risks and inefficiencies, businesses across Clearwater, Tampa, and St. Pete can make smarter, cost-saving decisions about their IT.
The discovery call is a simple, 20–30 minute conversation designed to focus the assessment on your business needs. We ask about your IT environment, your current challenges, and your long-term goals. This ensures the assessment is relevant, whether you’re a healthcare practice concerned about HIPAA compliance in Tampa, a law firm in Clearwater protecting client files, or a growing business in St. Petersburg struggling with downtime. The call is consultative, not sales-driven, and sets the stage for a meaningful assessment.
