Making a deep dive into the process

running on your systems is two heart beats and a click away

Click the retrieve audit button in the system tray and we’ll send you an encrypted email with the latest audit details. It is necessary in IT today, whether your laptop, desktop computer, pad or mobile phone knowing whets running on it is essential. 

If you don’t have our audit software making a list is a good idea and not that difficult either.  In windows you can see the installed programs in the control panel. Also in Apps and features.  The deep dive takes some time but it’s worth it.  Anything that is on the list you make that is not contributing to the purpose you are you the technology to accomplish is slowing you down, expanding your attack surface or both.     

Basic backup has been built into windows and Mac operating systems for many years. That’s because it is essential.

Bullet List how to inventory devices for mindful computing:

1. get a list manually or more easily with an IT Blueprint.
2. Windows control Panel > Add and Remove programs.
3. Windows settings apps.
4. Window Task Manager.
5. your files are financial documentation.

In business and home settings our vital files are important in ways we never thought possible just a few years ago. Basic backup does a good job protecting them. In windows 10 one can and should use File History to back up to an external drive or network location. We recommend an external drive rotation and that one be taken off-site to a safe location as part of worst case planning.

Select Start​  > Settings  > Update & Security > Backup > Add a drive , and then choose an external drive or network location for your backups.
