Virus and Malware.

As Virus and Malware injections become more prevalent, businesses are facing a substantially greater risk of losing data. Though the financial costs to recover from such an incident could be high, the cost to the organisations reputation could be far higher.

Our engineers can not only recover your systems from a serious incident, but we can work with your organisation to reduce the risk of it ever happening.

Virtual Support and Virtual ICT Departments.

During the current economic crisis, every company needs to ensure that assets are being managed efficiently and responsibly. Sweating ICT related assets may appeal to companies, but this is merely a short term solution, leaving your organisation with a long term problem.

As equipment gets older, maintenance costs are higher, administration costs are higher, the equipment consumes more electricity costing more. All of this results in a loss in productivity, with staff becoming increasingly demoralised, because of ICT related problems and gradually more stressed over their working conditions.

We can help you produce a sensible, efficient and reliable solution to solve your future ICT problems. By planning and implementing a maintenance and administration program, and providing a scheduled hardware and software replacement to suit all budgets.

Reducing the requirement for small businesses to employ ICT staff, our engineers and support engineers provide organisations with a virtual ICT department that they can use on a "Pay as You Go" or monthly contract basis.

"Disaster Recovery Procedure".

.

Process, Policies and Procedures.
All companies should create a "Disaster Recovery Strategy" that can be used when a disruptive event occurs.

For example, a server failure, equipment theft, office fire or water damage. These Policies and Procedures will be used to help you and your staff continue working with the minimum amount of down time and disruption.

Design, Planning and Implementation.
We can help you prepare for every eventuality, so that if disaster strikes you will be able to manage the event minimising disruption and downtime.

"The best way to get managers excited about disaster recovery is to burn down the building across the street."
Dan Erwin, Security Officer, Dow Chemical.

Data Backup and Restore.

.

The planning and implementation of a sound "Backup Policy" is a critical part of an overall "Disaster Recovery initiative". When implemented, this policy will help protect against the accidental loss or destruction of data which would otherwise have detrimental effect to the smooth running of your business.

We provide "Tried and Tested" data backup and recovery strategies, which not only enable users to easily recover their own files and directory losses, but allow for more significant events for example, when there is a requirement to fall back on taped or storage area network backups, to manually or automatically restore data.

Secure Email and documents with Digital Certificates.

.

Secure E-mails & Letters from prying eyes and from potential tampering.

If you are sending sensitive information and are concerned about security, you are right to worry. Plain text email transfers can be easily intercepted , read and even tampered with. We can help by configuring digital certificates for your organisation or providing digital certificates to you from our security servers.

When a sender and recipient have been issued with a “Digital Certificate”, it can be used to encrypt any email, so only they and the recipient can view the correspondence.

Emails and Documents which have a Digital Certificate attached, easily allow the recipients to see if a document have been tampered with in anyway.

We therefore recommend that these “Digital Certificates” are attached to every letter and email typed, as the “Digital Certificate” guarantees that the letter/email has not been tampered with since being created.

Customer Quality Assurance.

.

We guarantee a professional, confidential, friendly, prompt and efficient service to all our customers.
