The three elements needed to secure these assets:

MICROSOFT CLOUD SERVICES
Professional guidance with the move to Office365
When an organization moves to Office 365, it's important to plan exactly what steps you want to take, when to perform them, and who will perform them.
After the transition to Office365 we will apply best practices to protect the Office 365 setup from cyberattacks.
In addition, we can provide you with the following services:
a backup solution for email
a backup solution for one-drive
a backup solution for Sharepoint environment.
Protection against threats hidden in emails, attachments, and links.
IT ASSESSMENT
More than a plain network asset discovery scan
Many independent IT Professionals in Curacao conduct at most a network asset discovery scan. While that is a good start, we at 5 Star Technology will provide the organization a hardware and software inventory of their network.
We also conduct a high-level general assessment of the overall IT environment using a hybrid approach with IT general review as well as IT audit methods applied to conduct the IT assessment.
Our report will provide our customers a summary of the issues identified and classified with a category and initial risk priority (High, Medium, and Low) to help in focusing the remedial efforts required.
IT SUPPORT
Higher quality of support by focus on critical issues faster and engage with customers while building trust.
We provide a complete helpdesk engagement to our customers where the support tickets are tracked either manually via a customer support portal or by email with the goal to give a satisfying solution to the customer's request.
By having your IT support request documented, we can classify the request in several categories and pinpoint which items are the more critical ones, the recurring ones and so on.
We can schedule time-sheet reports so our customers can keep track of the consumed support hours.
UNIFIED THREAT MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (UTM)
Consolidation of essential security functions into a single device that can perform multiple security functions
When 5 Star Technology was founded in 2010, we knew that beside providing Server maintenance and helpdesk support to the SMB market, we needed an integrated solution to protect our customers from virus, hackers and the other dangers from the internet. In the early 2000's we had to combine several technologies and components to protect a network environment from the different attack vectors of the internet.
When we were introduced to the fortinet products in 2010 during a training course in Curacao, we immediately saw the value of having 1 device being able to perform as a firewall, a web-filter, a virus scanner and a vpn router. Since then we have deployed multiple fortinet deployments including several site to site vpn's for our clients.
By having the Unified Threat Management System (the Fortigate firewall) scanning the incoming and outgoing traffic for virus, spam etc, we can concentrate on protecting the internal network and it's endpoint devices with our preventive maintenance tasks and therefore completing the layered security approach.
Data Risk and Risk analyis
Showing the cost of data vulnerability
We are one of the few IT Service Providers in Curaçao who can show our customers a risk analysis report that shows the various IT vulnerabilities on a system and provide the average cost per incident.
​
Highlights of a report would contain:
-
Credit card data discovery
-
Vulnerability trend report
-
Data breach risk trend report
-
Unpatched software

Mac and Windows operating systems vulnerabilities
-
Personally identifiable information discovery

Payment data discovery
