Health checks are essential in many aspects of life, from regular dental visits to car inspections, as they help catch potential problems early. Similarly, IT health checks are crucial for maintaining the efficiency and security of your business’s technology infrastructure. Recently, our team conducted several IT audits and discovered that basic IT health checks were often neglected. This oversight can lead to increased IT labor costs and, in some cases, major incidents causing business downtime. In this article, we’ll outline the key components of an effective IT health check and explain why regular maintenance is vital for your business
Here are some examples of what your IT health check should include:
Backup status. Make sure to frequently carry out test restorations.
Virus and malware protection with the latest updates.
Disaster Recovery failover test (this does not need to be complex for small business).
Security updates are current for software such as Windows and Mac operating systems etc.
It is also important to keep these health checks simple and efficient to ensure they are carried out regularly. Feel free to comment, or send through a message with any questions.
