Want to know a quick and easy way of figuring out your IT provider's competence? mark (https://uk.linkedin.com/in/itsupportprovider) from m3 Networks (https://m3networks.co.uk/) explains a simple question you can ask them This one question alone can help you understand whether you're wasting IT budget.
There are so many IT service providers out there.

At m3 we obviously pride ourselves as being among the best and most professional out there, but on the other end of the scale you might be putting your business at risk if yours is totally incompetent.
Thankfully, the Techcess podcast is here to help you.

The answer they give will help you establish whether or not they have your cyber security needs covered.
Spoiler alert! Don't read any further if you don't want the episode spoiled!
The question Mark suggests is around patching.
Listen to the episode to find out more about why this question is so crucial for the security of your business!
Excerpt from episode
"Most people do not know whether the IT companies are actually patching their systems on a regular basis. And quite often during those conversations they'll say, well, I'll go and ask them that question and hand in hand every single time so far when a potential customer has gone and asked their current IT provider if they have a patch management service in place to patch their operating systems on a weekly basis, it always comes back. As I know, or even worse, we had someone asked the IT company and they spoke to their account manager at the IT company and their account manager didn't even know if patch management was part of their service. And this is actually quite shocking."
