It’s not just about masks. Our new normal is remote working. COVID is pushing us to think outside the box, as we have started to live in this new business environment. Remote Access Service (RAS) is a service that allows authenticated users to connect to the company network through Virtual Private Networks (VPNs).  

Trying to keep afloat meant adapting to staff working from home. Have you considered the new risks introduced? For a few hundred Euro we will audit your setup across all levels and provide you with the right level of assurance you are seeking. More often than not, we will recommend changes to be made to reduce your risk of being breached. Our work covers: 

  • Policy and procedures – if you ever need to litigate, this will be your primary defence. virus_corona_covid19_illustration_blue_rgb.png
  • Authentication and authorisation mechanisms 
  • Protecting data at rest – if a laptop is lost or stolen, how easy will it be for the data to be used? 
  • Protecting data in transit – has the ‘encryption’ you are using been broken into? 
  • Avoiding data sprawl - are your staff saving business data on their personal laptops? 
  • Staff communication – are staff aware of when and how they should report an incident? 
  • Staff awareness – how strong is your Human Firewall?  

RSM Malta offers a comprehensive assessment of your remote access services to assess the adequacy of controls to support the integrity, confidentiality and availability, remote access policies and procedures, remote users permissions, privileged user accounts, service arrangements with third parties and remote access management.
