Always remember that DATA is critical ABOVE ALL OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

 

  • Talk with employees to verify daily tasks. Go through normal operations with them at their desks and verify where data is stored (mapped drive letters, local, etc.)
  • Get all existing documentation on usernames, passwords, accounts (e-mail, software vendors, etc.)



Deliverables:

 

  • Updated (or newly created) documentation of usernames, passwords, accounts, etc.
    • Server username/password
    • Host/ISP login information for managing domain, hosting, etc.
    • e-mail account information
      • Mail server dns info. Ie: mail.domain.com
      • Any special settings needed to configure e-mail account.
      • All e-mail account usernames and corresponding passwords.
