We’ll eliminate spam emails before they can clog your inbox.
Unsolicited or “spam” emails filling your inbox aren’t just a nuisance affecting your productivity, they could contain malicious files or links to infected or fraudulent websites. Some “spam” emails even attempt to mimic emails from banks, retailers and HMRC in an attempt to steal security information – a threat known as phishing.
By including Synium’s Anti-Spam service in your IT Support plan, we will eliminate emails from most known sources of harmful spam and filter other unwanted emails away from your core inbox.
We’ll keep you proactively protected from computer viruses, malware and ransomware.
It’s vital to protect your systems from malicious software such as viruses, malware or ransomware. Attacking your systems via infected document files, emails or websites, your vital data could be damaged, stolen or even held to ransom.
By including Synium’s Antivirus Service in your IT Support plan, you can relax with the peace of mind that we’re proactively ensuring that your systems are protected with effective antivirus software and the latest updates to counter new threats.
Data Backups are probably one of the most important IT solutions to implement – the impact on a business losing their data can be catastrophic. We recommend a combination of on-site backups and off site (cloud) backups for the majority of customers – but we have solutions that can be tailored to all environments.
We’ll proactively back-up your vital data to minimise the impact of any data loss or damage.
Your data is vital to both day-to-day operations and the ultimate survival of your business. Data loss or damage can arise from flood, fire, theft, cyber-attack, or simply from someone accidentally deleting important documents and files.
By including Synium’s Data Backup Service in your IT Support plan, we will help you to develop an off-site data back-up strategy, utilising secure online or “cloud” back-up technology. As part of a thorough disaster recovery plan, this will provide the reassurance that your essential business data is recoverable, even if your premises or systems are not available.
We have solutions to back up whole servers; or just certain data; and even individual PCs/laptops – from as little as a £1 per GB per month.
We’ll help you plan to maintain operations even if your main premises or systems are unavailable.
Unforeseen disasters such as flooding, fire, theft or cyber-attack can be ruinous to businesses new or old. Even events such as heavy snowfall can hamper your ability to serve your clients and keep cash flowing.
Your Synium IT Support plan can include a detailed disaster recovery plan, which aims to ensure your vital business data is recoverable and operational contingencies are in place if your main premises or systems are lost, damaged or otherwise unavailable.
We’ll proactively update and monitor your firewall to prevent unauthorised access to your IT systems.
An unfortunate reality of today’s information-driven business environment is the prevalence of criminal elements intent on stealing data and causing malicious damage to IT systems. A firewall blocks unauthorised access to your systems and is, therefore, a vital component of your IT Security strategy.
By including Synium’s Firewall Management Service in your IT Support plan, we will proactively update your firewall to withstand the latest threats and monitor it 24/7 to counter any suspicious activity.
We’ll help to ensure that your business complies with the new data regulations.
The General Data Protection Regulation replaces the UK’s Data Protection Act 1998, with greater emphasis on enabling citizens to control how organisations use their data, as well as introducing tough penalties for non-conformance and data breaches.
It applies to all companies processing and holding the personal data of data subjects residing in the European Union, even if the company is located outside of the EU.
Your Synium IT Support plan can include a GDPR compliance review, which aims to ensure that your data acquisition, management and security policies and processes conform to the new regulations.
We’ll help you restrict access to websites as part of your IT Security and Human Resource strategies.
Web filtering provides a means to control the web pages that can be accessed via your company’s systems. This can form part of either your IT Security strategy, blocking access to websites known to contain malicious content, or as part of you Human Resource policies to restrict access to particular content types, e.g. social networks or adult material.
By including Synium’s Web Filtering Service in your IT Support plan, we’ll help you to devise an appropriate web filtering strategy for your business and proactively maintain your web filtering system.
We’ll ensure your Microsoft Windows systems are updated with the latest security and feature patches.
Microsoft continuously releases updates to their Windows operating system to eliminate security threats, fix problems and provide improved features. It’s vital these updates are applied whenever available to ensure that your systems continue to operate efficiently and securely.
By including Synium’s Windows Patch Management service in your IT Support plan, we will relieve you of the burden of managing these updates, applying them seamlessly whenever available.
