Backup is Paramount.
The increasing adoption of technology is leading to greater amounts of data being stored on your network. Loss of this data, whether through a system failure, human error, viruses or ransomware would have a considerable impact on the day to day running of your organisation. Good, secure back-up, therefore, is paramount.

IT Security Audit.
Every business or school needs an antivirus solution, but do you know how effective it is? — so choose one that offers a next-gen feature set and provides fast, accurate detections thanks to the monitored and largest threat detection network in the world.
Today’s threats are ever-changing. Your customer’s protection needs to be both broad in coverage and deep in capability.
IT Infrastructure Auditing.
If you’re running a business, the impact of a cyber criminal on your company can be catastrophic. They can steal costumer data and ruin your reputation. It’s something many don’t recover from. And, unlike in the physical world, where bad neighborhoods are more clearly demarcated, cyber threats can be like a trojan horse. They can appear friendly, but when your guard is down they ransack your data.
The threat can be internal, too, such as a disgruntled employee sabotaging everything you built for years in seconds. Bottom line: technology is useful, but it’s also vulnerable. That’s why organizations must do an IT audit to make sure their data and network is safe from attack. An IT security audit might be the only thing standing between success and failure.
What Is an IT Audit?
Audits sound bad. But an audit only means an official inspection. An information technology audit is therefore an official examination of the IT infrastructure, policies and operations of an organization. It also adds an evaluation, to suggest improvements.
You can think of this as an IT security audit. The point is to see if the IT controls in place are properly protecting the company’s assets, ensuring the integrity of the data, and staying in line with the goals and objectives of the company. This means that everything that involves IT is inspected, from physical security to the overall business and financial concerns.
Five Categories of IT Audits.
In broad strokes, an IT audit can be broken into two: general control review and application control review. But, if you want to get more specific, here are five categories of a well-executed audit.
1. Systems & Applications: This focuses on the systems and applications within an organization. It makes sure they are appropriate, efficient, valid, reliable, timely and secure on all levels of activity.
2. Information Processing Facilities: Verifies that process is working correctly, timely and accurately, whether in normal or disruptive conditions.
3. Systems Development: To see if those systems which are under development are being created in compliance with the organization’s standards.
4. Management of IT and Enterprise Architecture: Making sure that IT management is structured and processes in a controlled and efficient manner.
5. Client/Server, Telecommunications, Intranets and Extranets: This spotlights telecommunication controls, such as a server and network, which is the bridge between clients and servers.
