First, we must develop a Business Continuity Plan to define exactly what the procedure will be in the case of a disaster. Then we will discuss what the recovery objectives are, in terms of data and time, to define the best solution. We at Spector provide onsite and cloud backup solutions, and regularly test these backups to ensure client data remains available and that recovery is possible.

Access control is the process of implementing Security Controls to regulate who has access to resources in a computer environment. Assets and resources should be identified, then classified based on their importance and confidentiality. This ensures that only the appropriate employees have access to critical data for their roles, such as the company’s financial report or strategic plans. Access control is essential for Cyber Security as it minimises risk and prevents Data breaches within your business Security Operations Center

At Spector we tend to manage Access Control through some simple procedures and tools. First, we use Active Directory groups, which are levels of access that employees will be assigned to. These groups are then assigned to resources, such as files and folders, and members of the groups are allowed to access these particular resources

Tools as Multi-Factor Authentication (explained below) and Single Sign-On may also be used to define these levels. A Single Sign-On portal is a location for all your applications, which is protected and restricted for company members. With this portal in place, users don’t see the actual passwords for individual applications and can be easily added or removed, ensuring protection.
