Protect your assets with strengthened computer and network security efforts. At Castle Technology Partners, we offer security solutions like awareness training, firewalls and other resources.
PURCHASE A VIDEO SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM

If the idea of unwanted visitors makes your skin crawl, we recommend that you purchase a video surveillance system. Our video surveillance technology includes night vision and video management software so that your security is in your hands.
CONTROL ACCESS TO YOUR BUSINESS
Identity confirmation software and technology are great ways to control who has access to your business. We recommend that you use technology like FOBs, tags, mobile devices or biometrics to confirm the identity of individuals entering your business. With controlled access, you can enjoy the comforts of safe environments, investment protection and increased visibility.
PLAN AHEAD WITH A BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLAN
A business continuity plan is a series of predetermined steps to follow whenever a disaster strikes. As previously stated, danger can look like many different things: natural disasters, physical threats, technological dangers and more. So, does your business have a plan in place for whenever one of these incidents occurs? At Castle Technology Partners, we can consult with you to create an ideal business continuity plan.
