Accessing work systems remotely
It's likely that in the last month you’ve had to change the way you work and access information. We've created a guide to help you understand the best way to access your network remotely. You may need IT support to set some of them up.
Types of remote access software
Giving access to tools
Some tools and software don't need to be hosted on an office server, as they're accessed from an internet browser. Tools you log in to online are called software as a service (SaaS). Read our guide to see how to assess which tools suit your business and how to use them securely.
Protect your website
During Alert Level 3 businesses can send items if they can do it while meeting public health guidelines. This means you may want to offer items for sale on your website, or your business may rely on website sales more than before. This means you want to make sure your website is secure so that you can keep processing these orders. Read our guidance to see how you can keep your website secure.
