NHS Primary Care Security Servers.

GP Surgeries are often left inadequately protected compared to similar sized commercial organisations.
The mistaken belief in that the NHSnet is a secure and safe haven for those connected to it, must now be a cause for concern since the virus outbreak at St.Bart's in November 2008.

NHSnet connections are now being placed under ever increasing risk from malicious or criminal activities. It is therefore extremely likely that once an attack has taken hold within the NHSnet, it will replicate itself to other systems open to the same vulnerability, quickly and easily.

By installing a “Security Server” incorporating a Firewall, Protocol Blocker, Spam Filter, Website Blocker and Intrusion Protection System technologies, it will alleviate the risk. This server will be the gateway between your NHSnet router and your local network, protecting your servers and client PC’s against external attacks.

Prices start from £1590.00*

Security.

The Installation, configuration and administration of security hardware and software which will help safeguard servers, network storage devices and client PC’s.

Onsite "Data Device Decommissioning".

Redundant data storage devices still hold potentially confidential information and therefore should not be disposed of before being decommissioned using "Military" standard data wiping techniques, which we supply.

Data Security Audits.

Includes security Counter Measures, People, Privileges and Passwords, Local and Remote access, Staff DPA and CMA Awareness, Data Integrity, Review of all ICT Security, Backup and DR Policies and Procedures.

LicenSe Compliance Audits.

The most widely overlooked part of a business is its compliance with software licensing.  We provide “Software License Compliance” certificates to assure company directors that their company maintains sufficient licenses for the software they use and all relevant policies and procedures to assist your company maintain its own Software Asset procurement and Management into the future.

"Labour Free" Maintenance Contracts.

We understand that the support of mission critical equipment requires us to react with a greater level of urgency.  We therefore offer customised solutions which predetermine how the loss of equipment impacts the running of your business.  All hardware is then categorised into groups, which dictates the maximum response time for any call outs.  The costs for a greater level of service for mission critical hardware is balanced by non critical hardware, providing a cost effective and enhanced overall solution.

"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.

Backup and Recovery.

.

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.
