We appreciate that having an\u00a0\u2018IT Performance & Cyber Security Review\u2019\u00a0may not sound like the most exciting element of your working\u00a0life… but it is vital\u00a0(and it won\u2019t take long)!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If your organisation were to experience a Cyber Attack it would certainly add excitement to your week (and possibly month\/year), and not in a good way!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

With just 12% of global employees stating that they would choose to work full time in the office, it\u2019s apparent that most office workers will experience some sort of\u00a0permanent change to their working pattern.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We\u2019ve all had to\u00a0adapt\u00a0at speed and now it\u2019s time to take stock; evaluate\u00a0the\u00a0systems and procedures\u00a0that\u00a0are in place, and more importantly \u2013 what are not!\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Are staff members using their own personal devices at home?<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If so, are these devices secure<\/a>? And if they\u2019re using work devices at home,\u00a0are the systems they\u2019re using secure?\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Do you have a plan in place for replacing IT kit as it comes out of warranty?<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If you don\u2019t it\u2019s worth getting one in place. And if your plan was created sometime ago it may be worth revisiting it; to illustrate, the plan may show that a new desktop computer is needed when a laptop\u00a0may\u00a0be more useful to allow flexibility.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Are backups taking place as they should?<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Without\u00a0backups, the\u00a0risk of losing vital\u00a0data\u00a0is always a concern. Make sure that your backup systems work wherever team members are working.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Would it be beneficial to update software to make it more user friendly when\u00a0home working?<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Having Microsoft Teams<\/a> in place, for example, allows easy remote\u00a0team working.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Is your telephone system geared up for staff that are constantly changing locations?<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

There are so many options available to ensure smooth telephony and consequently great customer service.\u00a0It’s worth evaluating your current system to determine if it’s giving you as much flexibility and efficiency as you need.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Do all your team members benefit from reliable broadband within their home environment?<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If not, it\u2019s worth exploring options with them so that their working day is productive and their morale maintained.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Whilst this list may seem extensive, it\u2019s not something that takes long to explore. A quick IT Performance & Cyber Security\u00a0Review with Net Primates will determine what\u2019s needed to make sure your\u00a0organisation\u00a0has IT provision that is fit for new working patterns.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

By having the right IT kit in place, your teams can work efficiently, and with ease, wherever they are. You\u2019ll also be confident that your\u00a0cyber security arrangements reflect the changing work patterns, helping to keep your business safe from attack.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

You’ll also reap the rewards of a happy workforce that can work more flexibly, confident that the kit they\u2019re using is up to the job.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
