The Pain Points
Running a small business comes with its own set of obstacles. As an Owner and Operator, Dan understood the importance of cybersecurity and data protection but didn’t have the in-house expertise. "Cybersecurity is outside of my skill set," he admits. "I need someone who understands that space and can be responsive, especially in a small business like ours."
One of the most pressing issues Dan faced was the ever-growing threat of cybercrime, particularly the danger to financial data. “We handle millions of dollars every week, and I’ve seen firsthand the damage that a security breach can cause,” he shares. “We’ve had close calls, with fraudulent transactions almost slipping through. If it weren’t for our vigilance and IT Ninjas' support, we might have been in serious trouble.”
IT Ninjas as a Strategic IT Partner
IT Ninjas stepped in to provide not only IT infrastructure but also critical cybersecurity services. The team helped Dan’s company set up a secure, seamless hybrid work environment, allowing remote access while maintaining stringent security protocols.
Dan highlights the invaluable role of having IT Ninjas on call, saying, “It’s like having an extra set of hands in an area where we have no expertise. The peace of mind knowing they’ve got us covered is priceless."
The team’s 24/7 support and quick response times are particularly important for Dan, who works with high-stakes financial transactions. “I love that I can quickly open a chat or email and get a fast solution. When you’re dealing with big numbers and important financial decisions, you can’t afford delays.”

Why IT Ninjas Works for Small Businesses
Dan’s experience with IT Ninjas has shown that working with an MSP that understands the unique needs of small businesses is crucial. “Many MSPs focus on larger clients, but the IT Ninjas are different. They work with businesses like mine, and they’re willing to grow with us,” he explains.
Not only does IT Ninjas offer responsive support, but they also have the expertise and scalability to help small businesses compete with larger enterprises. "You have that Silicon Valley mindset—able to work with large clients—but you bring that knowledge and scalability to a small business like mine. It’s the best of both worlds," says Dan.
The Result
With IT Ninjas as a partner, Dan’s business operates more efficiently, securely, and confidently. His employees can work remotely, access cloud-based tools, and stay connected to the company’s server with ease, all while knowing that IT Ninjas has their back.
"IT Ninjas has been a great fit for us," says Dan. "They're knowledgeable, responsive, and fit our budget. I don’t see a reason to change—it’s been a seamless partnership."
For Dan Bender, IT Ninjas is more than just an IT provider; they’re a trusted partner, helping him protect his business, stay ahead of cyber threats, and continue to grow. "It’s been an incredible relationship," he says. "We’re both small businesses trying to scale, and it feels like we’re in this together."
