There are a lot of computer shops out there that you can call up to fix an issue or install a piece of equipment. They might be able to get you out of crisis mode, but they aren’t looking at the full picture.
At NuTech Services, we understand business. We consult. We provide solutions to solve everyday challenges. We just happen to fix computers as well.
We believe (and have proven) that if you proactively manage technology, run maintenance religiously, and monitor a business network, everyday issues and downtime will be greatly reduced.

Data theft is a big deal, but there are ways that you can protect yourself and your money when utilizing this technology. Some are more involved than others, so let’s dive right in.
This might seem like common sense, but there are products out there that aim to simplify your mobile banking experience. If having your account breached and your money or identity stolen sounds simple, I’m selling a round-trip vacation to Mars. Are you interested? The banks know the importance of data and personal security and have rigorously tested to ensure data is encrypted and secure.
Creating a unique and strong password (or passphrase) is essential to protect any account you have. Financial accounts have a direct line to your money, so using upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols in your password will help secure the account. Furthermore, almost every bank, credit card, or other financial application offers two-factor or multi-factor authentication (or authorization). Utilizing this feature will go further to protect your financial accounts.
Another piece of common sense that doesn’t always register with users. If you want to keep people from accessing your bank account, ensuring that any automatic login, authentication autofill feature, or anything of the like is disabled is a solid practice. This will keep people out of your personal information if they happen to be using your account or device.
Not all Wi-Fi networks are the same. Some are open to anyone and can be hotbeds for data theft. To ensure that you aren’t just handing over your financial account information to someone on the same network, be sure to only access financial applications on your mobile device using your mobile data or via a trusted and secure Wi-Fi connection.
Today isn’t like five years ago where hackers tried to actually hack into a network. Today, most networks come with strong enough encryption to keep them out for a couple of decades. The biggest threat to data security are phishing attacks. Knowing how to spot a phishing attack and how to proceed so you don’t become a victim of one, is going to be crucial for the foreseeable future.
Following these five suggestions is just the tip of the iceberg. If you want to learn more about FinTech-targeted crime and how to keep your financial and personal data to yourself, call our IT security professionals at NuTech Services at 810-230-9455 today.
As you’re putting together your handbook, you need to figure out precisely what you want every member of your team to know. This will give your team the advantage of knowing what is expected of them, along with the other information that they will need to know, like:
You should also include some of your other policies, including:
Of course, this should also include your company’s mission, history, and other information pertaining to your company culture to help keep your team all on the same page.
To make your handbook as useful to your employees as possible, you need to organize it to have the most applicable and commonly needed information in the beginning. Of course, you also need to ensure that every policy included is explained in detail. Focus on providing a complete summary of your processes with a thorough step-by-step guide.
While your company policies need to be firmly established, there also needs to be flexibility to allow these policies to evolve over time. For instance, if a policy were to prove itself insufficient in the face of technological changes, that policy needs to be adjusted. As a result, you need to keep a digital version of your handbook—which will allow your handbook to be kept succinct and clear.
While this may seem to be making a mountain out of a molehill, a quality handbook is an essential resource for your administrative purposes. For assistance in designing your IT policies, reach out to NuTech Services at 810-230-9455.
Let’s review some recommended technologies for you to embrace as you reopen your business.
First things first—while businesses resume their operations, the chaos that will predictably ensue is the perfect time for cybercriminals to take their shot. Therefore, you need to make it a priority that all your hardware and software solutions are fully updated or upgraded as improvements are made available. In doing so, you make sure that the tools your team will use are as secure as they can be against the latest threats.
As a bonus, updated solutions commonly come with other improvements and features that add to your potential productivity. This means that your team will be in the position to accomplish as much as they can in the shortest available time without being distracted by security concerns.
Cloud-based tools have created the opportunity for businesses of all kinds to successfully adopt specialized solutions for their needs. Telework is also made simpler using cloud-based technology solutions, as your solutions are made accessible from wherever your team happens to be working due to its inherent mobility and operational efficiency that your functionality will require.
As your team returns to the workplace, there is likely to be a lot of work necessary before your operations are back to 100 percent. One thing is certain: you won’t be able to afford any downtime that could possibly be avoided.
For this to be the reality inside your office, you will need to ensure your uptime… something that a relationship with a trusted IT professional can do. Using remote monitoring tools to proactively catch burgeoning issues and fix them before they impact your business, a provider like NuTech Services can potentially identify and mitigate problems without you ever realizing that you had an issue at all.
With the ongoing risk that businesses may once again need to close their doors, it only makes sense to have the communication and collaboration tools that would enable true business continuity. The right technology can make the shift to remote work almost seamless, especially if the cloud and its many capabilities are leveraged appropriately. With many capabilities now offered as-a-Service, Voice-over-Internet-Protocol coming to the forefront of communications, and so many other business resources now taking advantage of cloud delivery, your team should be just as capable at home as they are in the office.
A word of warning needs to be shared, however, as remote work can potentially give your team the opportunity to expose your data. If you elect to use the cloud, this makes the next section even more important.
For your data to remain protected throughout remote work, you need to have the right solutions and procedures in place for your team to use and follow. A VPN (Virtual Private Network) will enable your team to safely access your business’ data while they are working remotely, and the proper protections on their endpoints will help to minimize their risks.
As far as their access controls are concerned, each team member needs to follow authentication practices that meet a high standard. Their passwords need to meet vigorous security benchmarks, used in conjunction with protections like multi-factor authentication, or MFA.
Your office also needs to be made impervious to as much downtime as possible to permit your team the most productivity as they work.
