How to Review & Update Your Network Security Systems

The type and nature of cyber threats evolve every day so it's important to regularly review & update the systems, policies and processes you have in place.

What Does This Involve?

Agree a timeframe for revisiting your cyber security policies, incident management plan and training initiatives. We suggest you do this on a quarterly basis, but try and make technology updates (operating software, anti virus software etc) as automatic as possible.

Consider whether there have been any recent security breaches - either involving your business or other organisations or incidents reported in the media - and determine whether or not your policies provide adequate protection from these threats.  This could include general physical security breaches as well as specific cyber security breaches - often they can be linked.

Monitor and test the security policy you have in place to identify potential and actual security problems that may cost your business time and money before they become issues.

If you undertake any changes to your digital infrastructure, such as building new pages on your website, adding functionality, or changing your hardware or software, remember to check that the security of your integrated system remains robust.

Remove any software or equipment you no longer need  but make sure you have removed any sensitive information first.

Continually review user access privileges - keep this up to date with your current staff and their requirements.
