Is your private data truly private? Call QuantumStep for a security assessment of your current network, PC applications, settings, and technology habits.

Firewalls
You can’t be a member of the world wide web without the protection of firewalls. It is mandatory technology for internet-connected businesses, families and individuals. No one should surf the web without it because its job is to protect your valuable data from intruder access via the internet.
Software License Compliance
In recent years, the Business Software Alliance (BSA) has aggressively pursued businesses that use “pirated” or illegally copied software. Copyright laws protect software developers against theft of their work – in this case, people who use unauthorized or pirated versions of software they developed.
If BSA discovers you are not in compliance with the copyright laws, in addition to negative publicity and workplace disruption, you could be liable for a fine as costly as $150,000 for each pirated software program found in your possession. Small businesses often inadvertently expose themselves to pirating charges when they install software without paying attention to – or following – the developers licensing requirements.
QuantumStep has audit software that will report on your level of exposure and we will put you on course with easy procedures to remain in compliance with the copyright laws.
