In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, protecting your business’s sensitive data and ensuring continuity in the face of unexpected events is paramount. We recommend reviewing and verifying your current security and backup policies to safeguard your company’s assets and ensure business resilience.

By conducting a  assessment of your security measures, you can identify potential vulnerabilities and areas for improvement. This proactive approach will help your defense against cyber threats.

Similarly, evaluating your backup policies ensures that your critical data and systems are adequately protected and can be swiftly recovered in case of a data loss incident. Regularly testing and updating these policies is crucial to minimize downtime and ensure business continuity.

Here are but a few critical areas to ensure the safety of your company’s digital assets.

Antivirus: Are all computers equipped with updated antivirus software?

Computer Security:
– Avoid using profiles with administrative permissions.
– Activate password-protected screensavers for unattended computers.
– Consider encrypting your computer’s hard drive or implementing strong passwords.

Data Backups:
– Perform daily backups and maintain three copies: two locally and one off-site.
– Define retention policies to govern your data.

Email Security:
– Regularly back up emails, including online cloud files (e.g., Microsoft OneDrive, Google Drive).

DNS Firewalls: Secure your web browsing with trusted DNS servers to prevent malicious websites from compromising your systems.

Wi-Fi Security:
– Utilize complex Wi-Fi keys/passwords.
– Change passwords periodically (at least every six months or when employees depart).

System and Network Audits: Conduct regular scans and audits to identify and address security vulnerabilities within your network and computer systems.

Proactively addressing these security measures helps fortify your digital defenses and protect your valuable assets from potential threats.”
