Best Practices Assessment
While “industry best practices” are often used as a measuring stick for business and technology standards, they don’t represent the cream of the crop. Rather, they represent an average of practices delivered by companies in the IT industry, and may be better characterized as “industry average practices.” Our Best Practice Assessment (BPA) methodology ensures your business inherits the value of IT practices that reach far and beyond the mediocrity of industry best practices as they are commonly known.
Currant has spent the last eight years carefully documenting the best practices we’ve seen in the real world. Using the data we’ve collected in conjunction with well-established industry standards, we carefully analyze your current network and report on where it stands in comparison. Then we make it better.
Our comprehensive documentation lets you know where your network may be vulnerable to attack or loss. We also help you plan for future purchases and upgrades, to maintain a healthy operating environment and ensure that your network is contributing to the success of your business.
Your BPA includes an overview of your network and its configuration, a review of its overall security including recommendations on patch management, as well as the following:
- An email overview – along with advice on the latest SPAM filtering techniques
- An overview of your security strategy – so you won’t be caught by surprise
- An analysis of your backup configuration and disaster recovery readiness – to prepare for accidents before they happen
- A review of End of Life and Out of Warranty items – to help you best manage your technology assets
- Recommendations on Web surfing, instant messaging, and content filtering – to keep your information safe
- Network efficiency – so your data moves as fast as the minds that make it
- Policy review – to ensure your people are using their technology correctly
