At Imagineering, we believe that it is important for every business to perform a technology review. This review is a proactive way to find opportunities for improvement. With our easy-to-understand scorecard, we can help measure your business’s security and efficiency.
The scorecard focuses on the following areas:
Usability
Has your business fully transitioned to the Cloud? Storing files and running software programs in the Cloud will allow you to access them from anywhere, increasing overall efficiency.
Are you doing business with a mobile device? Make sure your business applications and email are integrated and secured on all mobile devices.
Does your email address match your domain name? Do all of the business applications work together? Receive world-class security, functionality, and integration with your domain using Microsoft 365.
Performance
When your computers are over 5 years old, your business opens itself up to a larger chance of an attack. Save time, money, and headaches by making necessary upgrades to your hardware.
Do you or your employees wait around for websites and applications to load? The Internet does not have to be slow. Customize your network by giving your team the access they need to be productive.
It is crucial to have a backup and recovery plan in place. By not backing up your data and information, you increase the chances of it being lost or destroyed.
Security
Are your devices protected from viruses? Ensure your antivirus protection is up to date while also ensuring it is the best for your business.
The most important way to prevent a data breach is with patch management. This is the process of applying updates to your computers and software programs – confirming your systems are fully functional and secure.
Does your business have a firewall in place? When firewalls are in place and up to date your business will lower the risk of an attack.
Wi-Fi without a password is not secure. It is essential to have a strong password that is only accessible to people you trust. Follow Wi-Fi best practices by having a public and private network configured.
Bonus Points
The days of writing down passwords are gone. When you use a password manager, all of your passwords will be strong and stored in one secure location.
MFA is a verification method that requires two or more authentication factors to gain access to a website, network, or application.
Next Steps
Can your business check off each of the points on the technology review? Ideally, businesses should score at least seven out of ten with plans to reach 10/10.
