Cyber Protect LLC Reviews & Testimonials
Alicia's Review Sourced from Google
We have been a client of Cyber Protect for the last 10 months, and I am very happy with our security services so far. Chey and his team are promt and professional and have handled anything that has come up within minutes. They go above and beyond!
Cheyanne Brown's Review Sourced from Google
Cyber Protect, and its owner Cheyenne Harden, is a wonderful company to work with. Not only is Cheyenne Harden extremely knowledgeable in information, technology, and cybersecurity, but he is also is kind and easy to work with. Him and his company will do everything they can to ensure that your data is secure, protected, and that your technology is running properly. I highly recommend him and his company.
Cindy Luo's Review Sourced from Google
Terrible service. I trusted Cyber Protect LLC to help secure my data, but I still got hacked while under their protection. When I reached out for help, their support was slow, unresponsive, and offered no real solution. They took no accountability and left me to deal with the damage on my own. Completely unreliable and not worth the money. Would never recommend.Edit: Your response is disappointing and frankly evasive. If you have no record of me as a client, maybe that explains why your “protection” failed so miserably. Your slow, unresponsive support and complete lack of accountability left me to deal with the consequences alone. Claiming that neither you nor your clients have ever experienced a breach sounds more like a PR line than reality.If you want to prove otherwise, then start by owning up to your failures instead of brushing off legitimate concerns. Until then, your “enterprise-grade solutions” are nothing but empty words.

I have been to this repair shop several times for both an iPhone 8 and XR and I have always been extremely pleased with the service, repair, and price! The guy in the front is always very helpful, patient, and transparent as he explains what is needed. They’ve done both screen and battery replacements for me and the phones have been running great ever since :)
Lauren Dapiaoen's Review Sourced from Google
I don’t know how to express how magical this place is. My MacBook Pro died and they were able to recover all the data onto an external hard drive for me for an extremely reasonable price and in less than 24 hours. My laptop is 8+ years old so the cost of replacing the motherboard made no sense, but I at least recovered all my data. I drove 25 minutes just to visit this place because everyone in the city center tried to rip me off. Don’t waste your time - make an appointment ASAP and get your *#%! fixed!

ProfitWerx was great to work with. James helped us catch up on one year of bookkeeping and was very patient and clear in explaining everything, especially since we have no accounting or bookkeeping background. He communicated throughout the process to ensure everything was done correctly, and his services were thorough, timely, and affordable for our small business. We were so impressed that we’ve decided to keep him on as our bookkeeper going forward. Highly recommend!
Kaitlin Patzke's Review Sourced from Google
We had a great experience working with James at ProfitWerx. He helped us build our website, improve our search engine optimization, and create a booking system that made our event rental business much more automated and efficient for customers. Since working with him, our online presence has grown and our revenue has increased. Pricing is affordable, communication was clear and consistent, and the entire process was smooth. Highly recommend ProfitWerx!

ProfitWerx completely improved our online visibility!We hired ProfitWerx for SEO, and the results have been outstanding. Our rankings jumped faster than expected, and we’re now showing up on Google for searches we never appeared in before. Traffic is up, leads are up, and the monthly reports make it easy to see exactly what’s working.They took time to explain everything, cleaned up our site, fixed technical issues we didn’t even know about, and built a smart strategy tailored to our business. If you want real SEO results from someone who actually cares about your success, ProfitWerx is the way to go. Highly recommend!

Hiring Guide: How to Choose a Top IT Company in the US
What can an IT services company in USA do for businesses?
An IT services company in the USA can help businesses configure, deploy, upgrade, and secure their infrastructure, cloud platforms, data systems and end-user support channels.
By managing and modernizing their core systems, IT providers reduce clients’ operational frictions and strengthen their technical capabilities.
Organizations that outsource IT operations commonly report 25% lower IT operating costs, attributing them to the reduced downtime and predictable monthly spend.
Over the past decade, the demand for IT services hasn't stopped seizing momentum.
Namely, over 90% of small and mid-sized businesses in the US use external IT providers for some of their technology operations.
In earlier phases, most IT engagements focus on basic infrastructure setup and break-fix support, which accounts for roughly 30-40% of service demand.
What kind of budgets do companies typically allocate for these services?
For most businesses in the US, the IT services budget they allocate is determined based on the company size, i.e., the number of users, complexity of their systems, and the level of support they require.
For managed services, companies allocate between $2,000 and 10,000 per month, depending on their size:
- Small businesses with up to 20 employees: $2,000-$3,000 per month
- Med-size businesses with ~50 employees: $5,000-$7,000 per month
- Enterprises with over 200 endpoints: $10,000+ per month
Based on the service level, the cost estimations are usually based on number of users:
- Basic monitoring services: $100 per user/month
- Standard packages: $150-$200 per user/month
- Premium packages: $250-$300 per user/monthly
How to choose the best IT specialist in the US for your business?
To help you choose the best IT specialist in the USA for your businesses, we compiled a list of practical steps to guide you in the process:
- Outline service objectives
Define the number of users, current pain points, and desired outcomes to streamline the search for a provider with the right expertise. - Make a list of prospects
Seach US IT firms across directories like DesignRush and read their customer reviews to determine the reliability of their work. - Research their background
Review their certifications, partnerships, technical skills, industry standing, and case studies to assess the company’s compatibility for your needs. - Send a request for proposal (RFP)
Submit a detailed RFPs to your top prospects to compare service offerings, pricing, and support levels. - Schedule interviews
Set a meeting with the shortlisted candidates to discuss your expectations before making a final decision.

Relevant Background

IT Services FAQs
What services do IT services companies in USA provide?
IT services providers in USA provide a variety of services for modernizing businesses’ IT ecosystems and fortifying their security posture. On account of their nuanced expertise in automation, cloud deployment, cybersecurity, and data systems, these providers are commonly sought to facilitate transition from legacy dependencies to more agile operating setups.
Common services offered by IT services companies encompass:
- IT consulting
- Custom software development
- Cloud hosting and management
- Cybersecurity services
- Technical support
- System integration
- Managed IT services
- Network support
How much do IT services cost in the US?
US-based IT services providers typically charge between $150 to $250 per hour for break-fix or pay-per-use services. On the other hand, when a managed IT service is in question, the pricing model is determined based on the number of devices or users, ranging from $100 per workstation and$200 per server.
Based on these estimations, businesses can anticipate these price ranges:
| Pricing model | Pricing range | Recommended for |
| Flat rate | $2,000-$3,000 per month | Small and mid-size businesses |
| Pay-per use | $150-$250 per hour | Businesses with set IT infrastructure |
| Per user | $100-$200 per user | Businesses enduring expansion |
The price can also vary based on the requested service:
- Network setup: $1,000-$3,000
- Software licensing: $15-200 per user/month
- Cybersecurity: $500-$2,500 per month
- Data backup and recovery: $150-500 per month
When can clients expect ROI from an IT service?
Return on investment (ROI) from IT services depends on the provided service:
- Managed IT support usually shows ROI within 1 to 3 months because it quickly reduces downtime and ticket backlog.
- Infrastructure upgrades typically return value in 2 to 6 months because performance improvements are shown almost immediately once the new setup is up.
- Cloud migration or modernization is slower, usually 4 to 9 months, as the payback comes after the systems are reconfigured and decommissioned.
- DevOps/automation tends to show ROI in 3 to 7 months because it cuts release effort and lowers change-related outages over several cycles.
- Cybersecurity programs usually take 6 to 18 months as the biggest returns are reflected in avoided losses.
What are the typical timelines for IT projects across different complexity levels?
There’s no set timeframe for IT projects as some work is largely configuration, while other work requires rethinking how core systems operate together. Approximate timelines are:
- Low complexity projects (2-6 weeks): Helpdesk onboarding, endpoint setup, basic monitoring, small infrastructure changes
- Med-complexity projects (up to 3 months): Cloud migrations for small environments, network refreshes, security tool rollouts, backup and DR implementations
- Complex projects (3-6 months): Multi-system cloud migrations, ERP or core app integrations, DevOps pipeline implementation, compliance-driven security programs
- Transformational projects (6-12 months): Full infrastructure modernization, large enterprise migrations, data center exits, platform re-architecture
How often do IT firms conduct performance turning after delivery?
Most IT firms do performance tuning in bursts, i.e., right after going live, after major changes, or when metrics show underperformance. If the contract is for managed services, the tuning is done in scheduled frequences.
This is what “typical” looks like in practice:
- Hypercare (right after delivery): weekly or even daily tuning for 2-6 weeks while usage stabilizes and early issues surface.
- Managed services: light tuning monthly for review metrics and quick fixes, and a deeper optimization quarterly for capacity planning and bottleneck analysis.
- Project-only handoff (no ongoing contract): tuning is usually ad hoc, only when there’s a complaint, incident, or a planned upgrade.
