BUSINESS OWNERS
Small to midsize business owners wear multiple hats when running their companies.
Sometimes the most uncomfortable hat is IT management. IT is a specialized
field that changes rapidly. An all too often, those in the field only communicate
using techno-jargon, which makes it difficult for business professionals
to understand.
We speak in plain English. But even before we talk – we listen.
Here are key questions we regularly ask owners in order to design the most
suitable solution to meet their needs.
What are you trying to protect?
- What digital assets or data are critical to your business?
- Accounting / Financial data
- Business Process data (spreadsheets, calendars, etc.)
- Customer Relations Manager (CRM)
- Voice, fax or other integrated messaging systems
What
data has resale value?- Credit Card Numbers
- Social Security or Identity Data
How secure are your data assets?
- What are the relevant threats?
- What are you currently doing to protect your data against these threats?
- How comfortable are you with your ability to detect and respond to security breaches?
- Are your digital assets and data systems vulnerable?
The basics of security infrastructure are the same regardless of what you are trying to protect whether it is your home, a bank vault or physical inventory. A disciplined approach to protecting, detecting and rapidly responding is key.
Mapping Out a Data Protection Plan
In this fast-paced world, there is one thing most computer users have in common: we have all lost data at one time or another. For the lucky ones, it's merely an inconvenience, not a painful and costly experience. For others, the lost data is valuable and irreplaceable, negatively impacting day-to-day operations, customer relations and a company's bottom line.
