Security & Data Protection

Network Security

Small and midsize companies are at risk of cyber-attacks because they likely lack a dedicated security staff who can help them spot a security breach before it’s too late. Additionally, your business may need to be in security compliance with enterprise-sized clients you are serving. The potential for problems are well documented, but often result from lack of education. Many users fail to recognize “phishing” emails that are designed to trigger a download of malicious software that infects the user’s system. Another potential problem is mobile or telecommuting employees who may connect for an on premises work day with their own out of network devices. Ranual’s network security services offer solutions to keep your network clean and safe. Our menu of best practices includes vulnerability scanning, management of firewalls and login review. We look carefully at the controls that can be put in place that are specific to your work environment so you stay safe internally and compliant for your customers.

Data Redundancy

Every business should have a data redundancy plan in place. Ranual can create the plan that meets your business continuity needs. Backing up your critical data to Microsoft Azure or to another data backup warehouse location provides the redundancy to ensure your data is never lost. We’ll create the most efficient way to make sure you have a secondary server available if a primary system becomes unavailable.

Disaster Recovery

Every business and organization needs to be aware of the critical business functions and requirements they cannot operate without. There should be a plan in place for restoring data in the event of a loss, whether by natural or human-induced disaster. A plan put in place before an incident occurs will save your business or organization significant amounts of time and money. Ranual can implement a plan that works within the context of your business or organization. If there is a data loss incident, Ranual can prioritize a plan to restore the most critical loss first and mitigate downtime.

We are experts in prevention, detection and most importantly, recovery to get you back in business in hours, not days.

Backup Solutions

Data backup has become an essential part of operating a business or organization that relies on digital information. There are numerous online backup solutions available for full, incremental and differential computer and server backup. Ranual can select the best backup solution for your office environment whether you are a single user or multi-user operation. We focus on off-site, fast solutions that work in the background so your work is not interrupted. For Microsoft users, for example, a recent upgrade to Azure Backup will allow for complete virtual machine backup in the cloud and will allow restoration of historical copies back into Azure in just a few clicks. We will find the simple, scalable backup solution so you can focus on your work without worry over loss.

Asset Theft Prevention

In the current business practice, nearly 100% of business documents are being created and stored digitally. This information includes some of the most important assets a company possesses. Electronic documents are easy to copy and transport and risk of theft often occurs when an employee is terminated or leaves employment for another position. Employee theft of information may be benign or malicious. Either way a thorough and well- communicated set of company policies and procedures is essential. Employers need to communicate “Acceptable Use Policy,” “Data Classification and Retention Policy” and “New and Departing Employee Procedures.” Using the built in mobile device management in Office 365, your critical data can be secured.

Ranual can deploy the Mobile Device Management solutions to protect your data from theft.

Encryption

Encryption is put into place to ensure that information intended for a specific person is accessed only by that person and is securely unavailable to any one else. Using public key and private key technology, Ranual can create encryption keys to make sure information in transit or in storage is readable only by authorized parties. Data at rest on hardware devices such as smartphones and laptop computers can be protected in the event of theft of those devices or in the event of unauthorized use of those devices. Data transferred across networks or through mobile phone networks can be made secure so only authorized parties can receive and access it. Let Ranual create the most secure encryption scheme for your business or organization. We keep encryption simple so your data is ready to use by the intended party when it’s needed and does not find its way into the hands of unintentional use.
