Setting Up Compliance and Security Practices for Your Changing Business
Cybersecurity’s hard and soft practices are now a permanent part of businesses’ everyday procedures, plans for growth, and budgets.
The expectation that only companies with up to date, secured systems will succeed is a reality. Today’s companies, be they leaders in their field or budding entrepreneurs, know that maintaining compliance and rejecting security threats is a must for any operation that expects to be here next year… or in five years.
At Suisse Associates, we listen to you and consult on where your business needs are today and, just as important, where they’re going to be tomorrow. Today, your company may be purchasing high-end servers, investing in network equipment, setting up a virtual private network, implementing on-site and remote staff training on cybersecurity, and placing security guidelines around account types such as healthcare proprietary data, for example. But what about tomorrow? Your focus on compliance and security can never blur. It must continue to sharpen, just as your core business strategy advances.
At Suisse Associates, we talk about “Synergy,” the “1 + 1 = So Much More” result that occurs when your compliance and security are in sync with your business practices.
Here are our recent experiences and “Synergy” approaches with two new clients with different security needs.
Corporate Client A
Situation
Client X corporation has a global workforce. Each staff member needs to access the company servers, so they must be secure. Employees need to authenticate to access the services without interruption.
Solution
Suisse Associates implemented a VPN and a firewall so employees could access the servers securely. The new system and process directs employees to authenticate and use the servers without interruptions. Work and communications can now occur at any time. The rule of thumb Suisse Associates applies to solutions is “secure before convenience.” That credo keeps your company’s data safe and safeguards its day-to-day practices and future.
Education Services Client B
Situation
Client B’s staff instructors were located nationwide. These instructors needed to access files and applications remotely and access them in a virtual classroom environment with students.
Solution
Suisse Associates developed a more sophisticated yet easy-to-use virtual environment for teaching and tutoring. Aspects included Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, a Zoom application, and a virtual environment that allows teacher and tutor to converse, teach and learn.
