Here's what you could say:

Computer security is not a necessary evil. It can be a return on your investment. And it does not have to be expensive if you do it right.

First of all, you should know that not one single system would guarantee total protection. No matter how much protection you buy, someone who wants to break into your system will ALWAYS find a way. So please do not have any illusions.

But we can protect your system and save you money at the same time. How would we do this?

Most security companies will rely on multiple firewalls, intrusion detection systems and expensive penetration tests. While these methods are valid, they greatly increase the cost of the security because they double and even triple redundant protection methods.

You can compare this approach to a home alarm. You can hire three different alarm companies to keep an eye on your house 24 hours a day. But is the return on your investment worth it? Do you really need more than one company to look after your house? The law of diminishing returns applies here.

Instead, we offer a risk management approach. It will cost less than a traditional approach towards computer security because it uses a "return on investment" calculation.

A "return on investment" calculation will look at your system and calculate the time and skill level it would take to breach it and the cost of the breach.

We will then take the results of this "return on investment" calculation to come up with a system that is right for you. This will help your bottom line instead of taking away from it.
