IT Best Practices

Here are some questions to consider when evaluating your current technology alignment:

  • How long do you need to keep old data?
  • Are your backups stored offsite and encrypted?
  • Do you have a firewall on each computer?
  • Does your email filter for spam and phishing?
  • How long will you keep computers and servers?
  • How often will equipment be physically cleaned?

Are You out of Alignment?

Over time, computers and devices become at-risk to new security vulnerabilities. Equipment gets old and system performance plummets. Left unchecked, these negative changes will result in poor performance and a company culture where technology is not trusted, even hated! You need to be intentional to keep IT from getting stale.
