San Diego Computer Consulting has a varied number of customers in many different industries. Most of these industries require their representatives to maintain standards for security protocols. These security protocols are established under a “recommended standard.” San Diego Computer Consulting specializes in implementing the “recommended standard” plus additional extra security measures to make sure that our customers not just meet, but exceed all requirements put forth by their industries.

Security compliance is important because it helps guide our customers to maintain secure data that they have about their customers. That data can be in the form of health records, financial records, credit cards, social security, and other forms of personally identifiable information that can lead to theft and identity fraud. San Diego Computer Consulting has the expertise to conduct compliance implementation, and testing. Compliance requirements often come with security audit forms that have to be filled-out and answered.

Increasingly, San Diego Computer Consulting is being asked to install Secure Email solutions for specific users at a company. Secure email is important because it allows you to send ultra-sensitive data via email and know that the person you are sending to is the only one who will be able to access and read it.

The secure email platform is very simple in its nature. When a secure email is sent, a separate notification is delivered to your recipient. That recipient receives notice that there is a secure email waiting for them. They then have to go to a linked website and login to read that email. The email is NEVER downloaded unless the recipient requests that action. By sending a secure email, the secure message always resides at a neutral and secure location.

Healthcare providers typically use secure email for their personally identifiable medical correspondence. Receipients must go to a website and login to retrieve the secure message sent by the healthcare provider.

San Diego Computer Consulting provides a variety of secure email solutions. Secure email can be enabled for all users in a domain or a solution can be established that allows for only a selection of email accounts to have the feature. We use Proofpoint as our recommended secure email solutions.

Office 365 Exchange email is embedded with remote data wipe. San Diego Computer Consulting is the email administrator or joint admin for all of our email clients. Therefore, we are able to preform a remote wipe on any smartphone or laptop with any of our customers. The remote wipe of email ensures that a lost or stolen portable system’s email, One Drive, and SharePoint data is removed from that device. This is a critical service for maintaining security. Office 365 Exchange email has this built-in feature ensuring your data is protected and that in the event a portable device is lost, stolen, or missing, the data on that device cannot be compromised.

San Diego Computer Consulting can make sure your company passes through any security audit, confirming that connectivity for all users and other networks is completely locked down. Using our broad-knowledge base, we can write and translate the questions of an IT audit regarding the security of the business network and the connectivity to that network.

2-Factor Remote Access authentication is often a solution that we use for simple remote connectivity. For Windows remote access, we require all our customers to have DUO 2-Factor on all remote logins. This security is always part of an IT security audit. The 2-Factor and VPN solutions are always approved methods of secure connectivity and remote access.

Data backup is always part of an IT audit. San Diego Computer Consulting uses a variety of backup solutions depending on the type of data we are backing up for our individual customers. We establish an agreement and understanding with each client to ensure and verify that San Diego Computer Consulting is backing up all data that is critical to your business.

Backup and Restore testing is often part of the requirements of a security audit. We can help with the backup solutions and testing of data security and data restores. That testing, and its results, typically has to be well documented for audits. We can provide the expertise, helping with the initial testing and documentation regarding the process and procedures of the backup.

Writing about the backup procedures is a detailed process. San Diego Computer Consulting has the expertise and skills to ensure any IT audit requirement is carefully described to meet the specifications of that audit.
