Are you in Control of Your IT?

If you can't answer these questions, you may need to do some homework to prevent problems before they occur:

Internet Issues:
  1. When does your domain registration end? (ie - when do you lose rights to "mydomain.com?)
  2. Who manages your domain? (ie - when #1 breaks, who do you call?)
  3. How can you tell if your internet stopage is in your office or caused by your ISP?
  4. When does your anti-virus licensing expire?
  5. At what points are your email and files scanned for viruses?
General Computer Issues:
  1. Did you peek at your backup and security logs today?
  2. Where are your off-site back-ups? (ie - are there any off-site or do you have them now?)
  3. Do you have spare replacements on-site (or nearby) for your critical office machines?
  4. If a critical machine was stolen/destroyed would you know what to buy to replace it?
  5. Who has your critical passwords should you unexpectedly become incapacitated?
More questions and a list of how to get the answers to come...
