1. Using the Internet Safely � Your network could be a two way door to the Internet. Yes, you want your people to be able to conduct your company business using the resources of the internet, but do you really want the Internet to impact your companies computing resources in a negative way?

Does your network allow harmful files (such as viruses) to be downloaded from the network to your computers? Do you really want your people to lose workplace productivity with excessive personal Internet use? Do you want your network slowed down with unnecessary traffic requiring additional equipment and support people?
2. Protecting Your Servers � Your computing servers are at the heart of the productivity of your people and your business applications. When your servers slow down so do your people and your business activity. When your server goes down and or restarts frequently your people also slow down.
3. Protecting Your Network � Does your network provide fast and readily accessible services to keep your people productive? Does your network provide access to only authorized people? When your network is slow and awkward people productivity becomes slow and awkward.
4. Protecting Your Laptops & Desktops � When problems such as viruses penetrate your network they could find their way to your individual laptops and desktop computers. Similarly viruses and other problems on individual laptops and computers could be transferred to the network and or to the other individual laptops and desktop computers. Each of these problem occurrences cost time and money to fix and workplace productivity suffers.

5. Securing Your Business Applications � The lifeblood of most highly productive companies is tied to the effective and dependable operation of key online business applications. Can unauthorized employees freely access your business applications? Is your computing network set up to provide primary support and resources for your key business applications so that key employee productivity is sustained and so that these applications are secure? Are your key business applications backed up and easily recoverable in case of unforeseen incidents?

6. Keeping Your Data Safe � To operate your business in a competitive manner most of your business critical data and customer confidential data is online via your computing system. Do you know who is looking at this data? Do you know what is being done with this data? Are you sure that your data is secure from unauthorized use?
7. Providing Back Up & Recovery � No matter how well planned and how well designed your computing systems and networks are an unexpected event might bring your system down. Do you have a fast, reliable and convenient back up system? Can your computing system recover swiftly and have your business applications and people back to full productivity with very little hassle?
|
|
|
8. Facilitating Your Line of Business Continuity � In the event that your business can not afford to lose your computing system even for a short time or if you should encounter a fatal outage that puts you out of business, do you have a plan for continuing to operate your business? Have you made plans for alternative location computing using your current business critical data and current customer information?
