IT Solutions for Hotels

Cloud Solutions for Hotels

Cloud is the future for hotels and comes with endless benefits. Our cloud solutions are easy to implement into your business, and we will help your business seamlessly migrate across to minimise downtime.

There are different types of cloud computing each with different features based on access and security.

• Private Cloud - the services and infrastructure are maintained and managed by you or a third party. This option reduces the potential security and control risks and will suit you if your data and applications are a core part of your business and you need a higher degree of security or have sensitive data requirements.
• Community Cloud - A community cloud exists where several organisations share access to a private cloud with similar security considerations. For example, a hotel group that have their own public clouds but they are hosted remotely in a private environment.
• Public Cloud - A public cloud is where the services are stored off-site and accessed over the internet. This service offers the greatest level of flexibility and cost-saving however it is more vulnerable than private clouds.
• Hybrid Cloud - By spreading your options across different cloud models, you gain the benefits of each model. For example, you could use a public cloud for your emails to save on large storage costs, while keeping your highly sensitive data safe and secure behind your firewall in a private cloud.

We can help you decide which cloud option is best for your hotel.

We can help you decide and implement a backup and recovery solution
• Cyber Essentials is a Government-backed, industry-supported scheme to help businesses protect themselves against the growing threat off cyberattacks. Cyber Essentials defines a set of security controls and clear guidance on the basics of cyber security. Once you go through the modules, you are awarded a certificate which showcases that you are proactive against cyber-attacks.
• GDPR Compliance - GDPR instructs that personal data must be processed securely using appropriate technical and organisational measures. The meaning is clear; protect personal data by having sufficient security measures in place. We will ensure that your hotel is in full GDPR compliance when it comes to your data security.
• Internet Security Solutions - There are a variety of devices and tools that can be used to protect you whilst you use the internet. We will work with you to best find the internet security solutions which will help protect your business.
• Layered Protection is a cybersecurity system that has multiple levels of protection. The different layers work together to reduce the risk of a cybersecurity breach. The main principle of this system is prevention, detection and response.
• Managed Endpoint Security- Endpoint devices such as desktops, laptops and mobiles are a point of access to your business network. You need to be assured that if your staff uses their device that provides that entry point, that it won’t harm your business network. When you employ managed endpoint security, you are in effect putting in a process to authenticate and monitor access to your network through your devices. You’ll have security policies put in place to prevent any external or internal threats to your network. The more endpoint devices a business has deployed, the greater the need to manage them all.
• Penetration Testing - Essentially, with penetration testing, we are identifying any possible vulnerabilities in your system, network, or infrastructure by simulating a cyber-attack. When those vulnerabilities are identified, we can suggest countermeasures so as to reduce the risk.
• Phishing Simulation - Simulated phishing is a function where you can test your business and your staff's reaction to phishing attacks. Essentially, it mimics the role of the attacker, sending realistic phishing emails to test your staff’s reactions. You can then gauge how susceptible your business is to a cyber-attack and educate your team accordingly.
• Ransomware Protection - Ransomware is often spread via phishing emails, spam and even some websites. Ransomware can also be spread manually by remotely accessing insecure computers and servers and deploying the software. We can offer ransomware protection.
• User Awareness Training - A lack of awareness is the biggest cause of successful ransomware attacks. We can deliver bespoke, user awareness training to your business which has been designed to educate your team in learning the risks, identifying suspicious activity and best cybersecurity practice in highlighting the activity and protect the business.
