anti virus & security
We'll conduct an audit of your pc desktops and servers
to build an inventory of the software installed and their configuration.
When we do this we take particular care to identify the IT security environment
surrounding your network.
-
Do you have a broadband connection?
-
Is it protected by a suitable industrial strength
firewall?
-
IS the firewall current with the relevant IT security
updates?
-
Are your PC's and servers running industrial quality
anti virus protection?
-
Is your anti virus software regularly updated (at
least every week - optimally daily)?
-
Is the anti virus update procedure automated?
-
Are appropriate measures taken to alert you to intruder
attacks?
-
Would you know if a hacker was regularly compromising
the IT security of your network?
-
Are any of these concerns documented or recorded?
online backup, Backup & disaster recovery
Where would your business be if a fire or flood destroyed
all of your computers and servers during the night? Remember that fires
and floods also destroy paperwork so relying on hard copy backups isn't
always fool proof. Burning your files to a CD-R is wholly inadequate as
a backup strategy, and if you are still using floppy disks you're in serious
trouble!
It is still a fact that the majority of SME's do not
have a comprehensive backup or disaster recover plan or procedure. If
you do not plan for it now, you'll have nothing to work from in the event
of a real disaster.
Given that most of your crucial data is stored on a computer,
it is probably time to consider implementing a rock solid backup strategy
with clearly designed procedures and documentation. A backup strategy
is the heart of a feasibly disaster recovery plan.
As part of our support of your IT system, you can opt
for Backup & Disaster Recovery (BDR) or even online backup where we
actually backup your data online over the internet. Online backup is fast
becoming the backup method of choice for SME's as it has relatively low
setup and management costs. As your
data is backed up across the Internet to our servers you can have peace
of mind that a copy of all your data exists elsewhere in case of disaster.
If you are interested in learning more about online backup contact
us for an information sheet.
Don't worry about it all sounding complex, time consuming
and jargonized. We'll do all the work for you, document it, explain what
we have done and why in plain English and define clear procedures to follow
in the event of data loss or a disaster. Remember that it may cost you
more than ten times as much (if not everything) to evoke a non existent
disaster recovery scenario
after a disaster. So think about it now.
PC HEALTH CHECKS AND SERVER HEALTH CHECKS
Quarterly pc health checks are included as standard as
part of our support service. Organizations with more mission critical
use of their IT systems may opt for monthly pc health checks on specific
machines. Server health checks are also available.
Our standard PC health checks even include the check
up of printers, and other network devices such as routers, firewalls and VPN
servers.
