How this was measured: road route from Waldstraße 19/1 in Lenzing to the centre of the town, route planner OSRM based on OpenStreetMap, measured on 9 October 2026 and re-checked on 13 October 2026 (deviation at most 2 km); travel time rounded to 5 minutes.
Small businesses are not an uninteresting target, just an easier one. Anyone who sends invoices by email and approves payments will sooner or later receive an email that looks convincingly like it came from a supplier and names a new account number. Whether someone falls for it is decided not by software alone but by a few fixed rules in the business.
Frankenmarkt lies on a transport route with a federal road and the Westbahn railway, and the A1 motorway is nearby. For businesses that means plenty of passing customers, delivery traffic and often retail with a till system, card payment and supplier portals. More points of contact with the outside mean more places where something can go wrong. So we start with an inventory: who has access to what, which devices are on the network, where is the backup?

Examples of what enquiries from Frankenmarkt can look like
- A retailer who has received an email with a supplier's changed bank details and is not sure it is genuine.
- A shop where the till, the office PC and the guest Wi-Fi share one network.
- A business whose employees all use the same password for email and inventory software.
- An office with a provider's router whose settings nobody has looked at since installation.
- A trade business that needs proof of its IT security for insurance reasons.
- A driver or sales rep who should reach company data on the road without it being exposed to the internet.
- A tradesman who wants to know whether the backup would still be usable after an encryption attack.
The way to Frankenmarkt
Frankenmarkt is about 20 kilometres from Lenzing, and the drive takes roughly 25 minutes. So we only charge travel when a visit has a real purpose, for example a firewall, network separation or devices. A visit costs €120 per hour plus travel, remote maintenance €95 per hour without. We suggest appointments in batches so the trip is worthwhile. After your enquiry we reply on working days within 24 hours.
Where small businesses are actually attacked
Most attacks on small businesses are unspectacular. They are not hackers in a dark room but automated emails sent to a thousand addresses: forged invoices, a link to a copied login page, an attachment with malware. Hits happen where a password is reused, where updates are missing and where nobody checks with the sender when in doubt. Neither expensive devices nor large contracts help against these mistakes. What helps is two-factor sign-in, clean rights management, current systems and a backup that is not on the same network. We keep these points as a list and work through them in the order that removes the most risk. We keep the language plain and skip technical terms that help nobody in the business.
Retail, traffic and passing customers
Anyone running a shop on a through road has customers who come for the first time, suppliers with their own access and often a well-meant guest Wi-Fi. Add devices that are seldom considered: card terminal, camera, alarm, smart TV in the waiting area. Each is a device on the network that someone has to keep up to date. We first record them all and sort them by importance. Then we separate what belongs apart and close access that nobody uses any more. The result is unspectacular, namely a network you can explain on one page. That is the point: what can be explained can be checked and kept current. Changing login details at suppliers also belongs here, as soon as someone leaves the company.
Security as an ongoing task
A one-off check shows today's state. After half a year there are new devices, an employee has left whose account is still active, and an update has been missed. So at WVM-IT security is part of ongoing support and not a project with an end date. We monitor updates, review permissions at fixed intervals and get in touch when something needs deciding. If you would rather first know where you stand, start with the security check at from €490 and decide afterwards whether you also want support. Both can be done for Frankenmarkt by remote maintenance; we only need an on-site appointment for devices and the firewall. The reports are short and list only what you really have to decide.
What we come to Frankenmarkt for
- Installing a firewall and VPN so staff can reach business data securely from outside
- Separating the network into sales, office and guest areas
- Placing tills, card terminals and cameras in the network and securing them
- Replacing old devices that no longer receive security updates
- On-site security check where devices, cabinets and connections have to be looked at
On-site appointments are arranged in advance, with a price. On-site work is charged at €120 per hour, net plus VAT and travel.
Single tasks — fixed price, no contract
What runs without a site visit
Patches and updates, antivirus, two-factor sign-in for email and Microsoft 365, review of permissions, checking the backup and assessing suspicious emails all run by remote maintenance. If an email strikes you as odd, forward it and we tell you whether it is genuine. That saves the trip and above all the time in which someone might otherwise click a link too early.

Frequently asked questions
What exactly does an IT security check examine?
The check costs from €490 (net, indicative price) and examines what attackers find first: passwords and two-factor sign-in, the update status of all devices, access rights, the firewall and open access from outside, Wi-Fi, and the backup including restore. You receive a list sorted by urgency, not a slide presentation.
How do I recognise a forged invoice email?
Almost always by a sender address that only looks similar, by a changed account number or by pressure such as “pay today”. If bank details change, pay only after calling back on a number you already know. We check forwarded emails for you, and that is included in ongoing support.
Do we need a firewall and a VPN?
As soon as anyone accesses business data from outside, for example from home, from a delivery vehicle or your tax adviser, yes. We set up firewall and VPN at an indicative €690. Without outside access, the firewall in the router, set up properly, is often enough.
How safe is our guest Wi-Fi in the shop?
It is safe if it is separated from the business network. If guests share a network with the till, the office PC and the camera, any phone there can in theory search for whatever is reachable. We set up a separate guest network that only leads to the internet and check that the till and office do not show up in it.
What do we do if we have already fallen for a scam?
Call the bank immediately to recall the transfer, then call us. We change passwords, check whether forwarding rules were set up in the mailboxes and work out what the attacker could see. Reporting to the police and to the data protection authority is your responsibility; we supply the technical facts for it.
Do you come to Frankenmarkt for security questions?
Most questions we settle by remote maintenance. We come on site for firewalls, network separation and devices that have to be seen. The distance from Lenzing is about 20 kilometres. A visit costs €120 per hour plus travel, remote maintenance €95 per hour without travel.
We will get back to you within 24 hours on working days.
