Security

Businesses today rely heavily on their computer systems. It is therefore critical that these systems are protected. There are many ways in which the security of a computer system can be compromised. Crownhill Consulting can help you to identify any areas where your your systems may be vulnerable.

Any computer system is open to possible attacks from hackers (or more correctly 'crackers') and those who would wish to do damage. Be aware however that these security breaches are only going to be caused by people outside of your Company. It is estimated that over 60% of security incidents are actually committed by by people working within the organisation.

Although a system can never be guaranteed to be 100% secure there is a lot that can be done to reduce the likelihood of a successful attack.

Using the British Standard BS7799 as a guidline Crownhill Consulting will investigate the following areas and make recommendations for change if required. We can then work with you to implement these changes.

• Physical Security - where is your hardware and who can get to it
• Backup Procedures - is your data secure away from your server?
• User password policy - review, establish and enforce
• Internet Access - content filtering
• Antivirus policy
• Software licensing - pirated software IS A RISK
• Data Encryption
• Company policy - 'Acceptible use'
