Sick and tired of ongoing technology problems? Your 27-Point Audit from Advanced Digital Systems can expose weaknesses in your IT infrastructure that may be causing problems. We provide network integration and managed services to keep your business running.

 

The worst thing that could happen to any business is finding out you have been spending more than you thought and getting less than expected AFTER disaster strikes. This could devastate your business. Ask yourself the following questions:

​

1. Is your network closet neat and organized? If it looks like a mess like this picture, you’re just asking for trouble. The questions is not will there be a problem but when. If the network closet is a disaster, that’s a very good indication that everything else with your IT may be, too. 
    

2. Do you have monitored firewall protection? Bad guys and hackers are out there right now trying to attack your data. Yea you have a firewall and internet security appliance but that does not mean it’s being monitored. Without real-time monitoring and a professional to respond to alerts as they happen, you won’t know about a security breach until after it’s too late.
    

3. Has your IT provider documented your network and given you a copy in case of an emergency? If you transition from one IT provider to another, without good documentation, you could be held hostage and the transition will be painful and cost far more than it should.
    

4. Do you have proper backup and disaster recovery? There is always going to be a cat and mouse game between hackers and the good guys. Your backup and disaster recovery must be set up to perfection as it is the only way to guarantee you can recover from a potentially business ending event. You want to test your backups before you need them.
    

5. Are your employees receiving ongoing security awareness training? Malware and virus protection isn’t enough. You will always have employees accidentally clicking on a link and responding to a phishing attack. The “human firewall” super important and an inexpensive layer of protection that should be part of your overall security structure and process.

6. Has your current IT provider been able answer this on going question; “Why is it that my computers are always running too slow to handle even the most mundane of tasks?!”
