What affects the security of Your organization? It all depends on how big it is and how it is managed, how information is transferred, where this information is processed and on the involvement of employees. Here we can say: on the awareness of employees what data can leave the company and which of them should be strictly protected.
If You run a small business - e.g. an online store or a website informing about Your products or services, it is enough to use different and strong passwords. And know the recovery procedures in the event of loss of access (current e-mail, text confirmations on the phone). Hosting of Your pages can take place with any WWW service provider who will make copies of data for You.
However, if You run a store where customers enter, and sales are made both on-site and online, then You need software that will keep Your customers informed about inventory levels. You can try to run Your own data server, which You will lock in a separate room. Most home Internet connections allow You to perform such an operation. A bandwidth of 10Mbps is sufficient to serve most small businesses.
Your own point of sale raises questions: what type of CCTV should I install? How many cameras? Where should I place them? What type of alarm system should I choose? Do I plan to increase the number in the future? Cable or wireless technology?
Problems start to arise with each new person who works for You. What permissions should they be assigned? What should be required in terms of security? What device should the employee work on - a dedicated computer or a server terminal? What system software should I use (Linux, Windows, MacOS or maybe something else)? What antivirus software should I use to additionally protect my data? Can employees connect external flash drives, use CD burners or should file transfer between employees be done exclusively by email? Or maybe I should try to install my own file server?
And what if Your company/organization has several locations? How to arrange all the elements of the puzzle? How to achieve the maximum level of security?
Another issue is the issue of providing Your institution with the necessary tools. A good manager is like an experienced survivalist. What if there are interruptions in the Internet supply? Do You need a backup connection? Do You have a power reserve (power banks, UPS). Or maybe You need a power generator? Finally: how much fuel reserve do You need? Or maybe combine a power generator with heating? Will You decide on Your own servers? Do You know which components to use? RAID 1, 2, 3, 5 or maybe 1+0? Where and with what frequency to perform backups? A dedicated server for WWW, a separate one for e-mail and database? What firewall to use? Hardware or software?
