PC Hardware Checklist
When checking PC hardware, there are several things to consider. Here are some of the most important components to check:
Processor (CPU): The processor is the brain of the computer and it's essential to ensure it's powerful enough to handle your needs. Check the speed, number of cores, and generation of the CPU.
Graphics card (GPU): A good graphics card is important if you plan to play games, edit videos, or use software that requires high graphics performance. Check the GPU's memory, clock speed, and compatibility with your other hardware.
RAM: Random access memory (RAM) is where your computer stores data temporarily while you're using it. Ensure that you have enough RAM to run the programs you need.
Hard drive (HDD/SSD): The hard drive is where your files and operating system are stored. Check the capacity, speed, and type of hard drive. A solid-state drive (SSD) is faster than a traditional hard disk drive (HDD).
Power supply unit (PSU): The power supply unit is what provides power to your computer. Ensure that it's powerful enough to handle your hardware and that it's efficient.
Motherboard: The motherboard connects all the components in your computer. Ensure that it's compatible with your CPU, GPU, and RAM.
Cooling system: The cooling system keeps your computer from overheating. Check that you have enough fans or liquid cooling to keep your hardware cool.
Peripherals: Check that your keyboard, mouse, monitor, and other peripherals are compatible with your computer and that they're functioning properly.
Ports: Check that your computer has all the necessary ports for your needs, such as USB, HDMI, and Ethernet ports.
Case: The case holds all of your components and protects them. Ensure that your case is the right size for your components and that it has enough ventilation.
PC Software Checklist
When checking PC software, there are several things to consider. Here are some of the most important things to check:
Operating System (OS): The operating system is the software that runs on your computer. Check that it's up to date with the latest security patches and that it's compatible with your hardware.
Antivirus software: Antivirus software helps protect your computer from viruses, malware, and other threats. Ensure that you have up-to-date antivirus software installed and that it's running correctly.
Software updates: Check that all of your software is up-to-date with the latest patches and updates. This includes your web browser, media players, and other applications.
Performance: Check that your computer is running smoothly and isn't experiencing any crashes, freezes, or other issues.
Disk space: Check that you have enough disk space on your hard drive to store all of your files and applications.
Software compatibility: Ensure that all of your software is compatible with each other, and that any plugins or extensions you're using are up-to-date and compatible with your software.
Network connectivity: Check that your computer is connected to the internet and that your network settings are configured correctly.
Backup and recovery: Ensure that you have a backup system in place to protect your data in case of a hardware failure or other issue. Test your backup system regularly to ensure it's working correctly.
User accounts: Check that all user accounts on your computer are set up correctly and that they have appropriate permissions.
Privacy and security settings: Check that your privacy and security settings are configured correctly to protect your personal data and prevent unauthorized access to your computer.

10 Cyber Security Tips for Small Business
Broadband and information technology are powerful factors in small businesses reaching new markets and increasing productivity and efficiency. However, businesses need a cybersecurity strategy to protect their own business, their customers, and their data from growing cybersecurity threats.
1. Train employees in security principles
Establish basic security practices and policies for employees, such as requiring strong passwords, and establish appropriate Internet use guidelines that detail penalties for violating company cybersecurity policies. Establish rules of behavior describing how to handle and protect customer information and other vital data.
2. Protect information, computers, and networks from cyber attacks
Keep clean machines: having the latest security software, web browser, and operating system are the best defenses against viruses, malware, and other online threats. Set antivirus software to run a scan after each update. Install other key software updates as soon as they are available.
3. Provide firewall security for your Internet connection
A firewall is a set of related programs that prevent outsiders from accessing data on a private network. Make sure the operating system's firewall is enabled or install free firewall software available online. If employees work from home, ensure that their home system(s) are protected by a firewall.
4. Create a mobile device action plan
Mobile devices can create significant security and management challenges, especially if they hold confidential information or can access the corporate network. Require users to password-protect their devices, encrypt their data, and install security apps to prevent criminals from stealing information while the phone is on public networks. Be sure to set reporting procedures for lost or stolen equipment.
5. Make backup copies of important business data and information
Regularly backup the data on all computers. Critical data includes word processing documents, electronic spreadsheets, databases, financial files, human resources files, and accounts receivable/payable files. Backup data automatically if possible, or at least weekly and store the copies either offsite or in the cloud.
6. Control physical access to your computers and create user accounts for each employee
Prevent access or use of business computers by unauthorized individuals. Laptops can be particularly easy targets for theft or can be lost, so lock them up when unattended. Make sure a separate user account is created for each employee and require strong passwords. Administrative privileges should only be given to trusted IT staff and key personnel.
7. Secure your Wi-Fi networks
If you have a Wi-Fi network for your workplace, make sure it is secure, encrypted, and hidden. To hide your Wi-Fi network, set up your wireless access point or router, so it does not broadcast the network name, known as the Service Set Identifier (SSID). Password protect access to the router.
8. Employ best practices on payment cards
Work with banks or processors to ensure the most trusted and validated tools and anti-fraud services are being used. You may also have additional security obligations pursuant to agreements with your bank or processor. Isolate payment systems from other, less secure programs and don't use the same computer to process payments and surf the Internet.
9. Limit employee access to data and information, limit authority to install software
Do not provide any one employee with access to all data systems. Employees should only be given access to the specific data systems that they need for their jobs, and should not be able to install any software without permission.
10. Passwords and authentication
Require employees to use unique passwords and change passwords every three months. Consider implementing multi-factor authentication that requires additional information beyond a password to gain entry. Check with your vendors that handle sensitive data, especially financial institutions, to see if they offer multi-factor authentication for your account.
