Overview
Your corporate data is your most important IT asset. Is it safe?
Your company can't function without your IT infrastructure. Are you prepared for inevitable failures?
When was the last time you did an external security scan? Do you have any significant security holes?
Our new "IT Checkup" service answers these questions for small businesses.
It helps presidents, CEO's, CIO's, CTO's and IT managers sleep better at night by:
- reporting significant IT risks
- categorizing the risks
- suggesting remediation
This service helps you understand your situation and suggests
cost effective countermeasures.
Data
Nothing is more important than your data. Your company can recover from disasters if your data survives, but it
probably can't if your data is lost.
Yet most organizations haven't categorized their data based on importance and they don't know where it is! What data resides
on corporate servers, service provider servers, desktops, laptops, PDA's, home computers, external hard drives, USB memory sticks
and elsewhere? What data is the most critical to the operation of your organization?
We're developing a systematic approach to locate and categorize your data, summarize the results and suggest countermeasures.
Continuity
Your IT infrastructure is critical to your company's operation.
For example, if certain servers, routers, firewalls and switches fail, most companies won't be able to function.
Do you know the answers to these questions?
- What IT infrastructure components are the most critical?
- What are the consequences of each component failing?
- What do you plan to do if each component fails?
Every organization needs this information even if it doesn't take any corrective actions. We've found that once
this information is presented to management, cost effective measures that significantly reduce risk are usually taken.
Security
Every organization needs to know whether or not it is safe from external security threats.
We'll do a couple of security scans and report the results.
Deliverables
You will receive the following deliverables that describe:
- the safety of your data (includes locations, categories and importance)
- key infrastructure elements (includes importance and recovery strategy)
- significant security holes visible from "the outside"
The deliverables are written for non-techies.
Bottom Line
Every organization needs to understand its vulnerability to data loss, down time and security threats.
Our "IT Checkup" service answers these questions and suggests countermeasures for a fraction of what
one day of down time would cost.
