When starting a business, IT is often left for later. But what is done right on day one saves rework, cost and risk later. Use this checklist.
Online identity
- Your own domain, registered in the company's name (not an employee's or a third party's).
- Email on that domain (e.g. contact@yourcompany.jp).
- A simple website with services, address and contact, in your customers' languages.
- Company profiles on LINE and the social networks your customers use.
Accounts and access
- One account per person, never shared accounts.
- Two-factor authentication on email, banking and admin accounts.
- A password manager for the team.
- A list of who can access what, updated at every hire and departure.
Devices and network
- Computers with updated systems and antivirus.
- Router password changed and a separate guest network.
- Legitimate software licenses.
Data
- Automatic backup with a copy outside the office.
- A restore test done at least once.
- Care with customers' personal data: who accesses it and where it is stored.
Support
- Someone to call when something goes wrong, who speaks your language.
