Data Security - Keeping your data safe should be a top priority.

It is important for all businesses, large or small, to have a well implemented and monitored data security program. All the networks, systems and functions have to be protected from the wide range of security threats that modern organisations are vulnerable too. These can vary from viruses, Trojans, theft, hacking, fire damage, power failure, faulty equipment or even just human error (accidentally deleting or overwriting files). If your pc or laptop does not have sufficient protection put in place then your confidential data could be easily accessed, copied, sold to a third party or used for identity fraud and the system stability will be compromised. It is important you protect your systems from the outside world.

Comcheck can help keep your networks secure by implementing security solutions that work for your business as well as an active 24/hour monitoring system to help prevent any of the above from happening. Comcheck will assess and address any problems you may have and then design a solution that will reduce the probability of any security breach.

Data Backup Services

Data back-up is one of the most important areas within IT and if not controlled and well instigated, could cause major headaches along the way. Keeping your data safe, in a secure off-site location, with minimum administration is something Comcheck can help with.

We can either completely manage or assist your data back-up by using the most appropriate method depending on our analysis of your IT infrastructure and amount of data. Backups are very individual to each business so we would need to look into the following:

• Ensure your critical data (email, file shares etc) are being backed up correctly at your site.
• Test your existing backups to see what actual data can be recovered.
• Recommend and advise on the best practise methods.

There are many ways in which you can back-up your data and we will help to advise you on the best possible solutions depending on your requirements and IT expenditure.

These can range from the following:

• Rotation of tape back-ups (performed on-site and then removed to an alternative location. The amount of times your data is backed up is up to you.)
• Rotation of disk back-ups (performed on-site and then removed to an alternative location.)
• Online backup (all performed over a secure ISP connection eg DSL, leased line, wireless etc.)
• Off site backup of your company data files and data shares, Microsoft Exchange and SQL Servers
• Replications of daytime changes
• 7 days worth of data history saved
• Offer frequent back-ups (daily, weekly, monthly etc)
• Stored emails
• SQL Databases

Your data will be fully encrypted and not accessible by anybody else. As with all our solutions, we will offer reliable, easy to use and secure storage of your critical data no matter what platform your business is using.

This service is one that Comcheck would highly recommend where quality will outweigh the cost. Your data is your most valuable asset, and if you do not safeguard your data, the effects of any loss will have an immense negative impact on your business.

Disaster Recovery

It has been documented that those businesses that do not have a disaster recovery plan (DRP), and suffer a disaster, cease trading within 18 months. It is therefore essential for any organisation to have some sort of DRP, or business continuity plan, in place to protect their critical data.

In the case of a disaster, not having access to your systems, even for a few hours, can be critical to the running of your business not to mention the financial loss you will face in the time your systems are down. We offer DRP's which will be designed by running a health check of your existing (if any) back up systems, suggesting any upgrades and then putting together a unique system that will safe guard your company in the event of a disaster.

All DRP's are very much dependent on the individual businesses network infrastructure and demands but below is an example of what can be involved:

• System back-up's tested every 3-6 months
• Daily Online back-up solutions via ISP
• Email Retention
• Server Recovery
• Remote Working Solutions
• Secure off-site storage
• Regular DR testing

Through instigating a DRP, Comcheck can help offer you peace of mind that your data is secure and safe no matter what disaster may occur.
