It is a good idea for every business to perform a technology assessment. Your business might be vulnerable to cybercrime and loss of productivity. With our easy-to-understand scorecard, you can measure your business security and efficiency!
Usability
Cloud Access
Has your business transitioned to the Cloud? Storing files and running your business software programs in the Cloud allows you to access them from anywhere. Utilizing the Cloud will make your business and employees more efficient.
Mobile Integration
Do you do business from your mobile device? We all do! It is crucial for your business applications and email to be integrated and secured on employees’ mobile devices.
Productivity Suite
Does your email address match your domain name? Do all your business apps work together? Microsoft 365 offers world-class security, functionality, and integration with your domain.
Performance
Age of Computers
Did you know that your business could be opening itself up for a larger chance of attack if your computers are more than 5 years old? You can save time, money, and headaches by making the necessary upgrades to your hardware.
Internet Speed
Have you found yourself waiting around for your websites to load? Your internet does not have to be slow! You can customize your network, giving employees the access that they need to be productive.
Multiple Backups
Does your business have a backup strategy in place? Not having backups increases the chances of your business’s data being lost. A comprehensive backup plan is a secret to minimizing downtime and will give you peace of mind.
Security
Antivirus Software
Do you know if your devices are protected from viruses? It is important to ensure your antivirus protection is up-to-date and is the best fit to keep your business running smoothly.
Automatic Updates
Have your software and operating systems been set to update regularly? The most important way to prevent a data breach is patch management — the process of applying updates to your computers and software programs. This ensures your software and systems are fully functional and secure.
Firewalls
Does your business have a firewall in place? Is it up to date? Firewalls lower the risk of an attack on your business.
Secure Wi-Fi
“What’s the Wi-Fi password?” It is no secret that Wi-Fi without a password is not secure. It is important for your Wi-Fi to have a strong password and to be accessible only to people that you trust. Your business should have public and private networks configured.
Bonus Points
Password Manager
Do you find yourself forgetting or writing down your passwords? It is time for a change! By using a password manager, all your passwords will be strong and stored in one secure location.
Multi-Factor Authentication
Are your accounts safe from cybercriminals? MFA is a verification method that requires two or more authentication factors to log in and gain access to a website, network, or application.
What is your score?
Ideally, a business should score at least seven or eight out of ten on this assessment. However, receiving a 10/10 is something we should all strive for.
