GALACTIC TRUST & COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATION

We are pleased to announce that ResTech became compliance certified in July 2024. We have furthered our partnership with Galactice Advisors by completing our compliance certification with them, continuing our commitment to help all businesses achieve compliance.

How IT Service Providers Can Help Manage Your Third-Party Risks
Is your business really secure? Think again! Every third-party vendor you work with can expose you to threats. It’s like being part of a chain.

Third-Party Risks: How You Can Protect Your Business
When we lock our homes, we always ensure that the back gate is locked as well. It's the same for your business security. You may have the most advanced firewall or password protection, but if your third-party vendor lacks adequate security, your business could be exposed to various risks. To mitigate third-party risks, conduct thorough due diligence while evaluating potential vendors. Establish clear contracts with security and compliance requirements and continuously monitor vendor performance.

The Do’s and Don’ts of Third-Party Risk Management

Successful vendor relationships are built on trust and shared responsibility for security.

Maintain ongoing communication throughout the relationship, staying informed about any changes in their security posture or potential risks.

Telecommuter Appreciation Week - March 2-8, 2025

We celebrate Telecommuter Appreciation Week in the week of March 3. This year, it takes place from March 2 to 8. This week is to commend the work of those who deliver quality output without ever stepping into their company’s office. Telecommuters are those employees who work from home (or anywhere their heart desires) and usually use email and videoconferencing as ways of delivering their work. Unlike most employees who physically have to step into offices and work at desks, telecommuters don’t have to fulfill this requirement. Telecommuters work remotely and send their work into the office without necessarily even living in the city or country in which their company is based.

World Information Architecture Day - March 5, 2025

World Information Architecture Day is a one-day celebration held every March 5 by volunteers in numerous locations to inspire global discussion about Information Architecture (IA) and its application in our everyday lives. It’s a day to learn about the structure of IA and how we can connect to make it easy for people to find, understand and use the information they need. Actually, we’re already involved in the practices of IA. For example, the web navigation that you see when you visit National Today is a practice of IA.

World Day Against Cyber Censorship - March 12, 2025

World Day Against Cyber Censorship is observed on March 12. Cyber censorship blocks or limits access, communication, and access to certain information on the internet. Governments claim to do this for security purposes but it’s often a means of suppressing dissent by censoring and denying citizens their right to free speech, association, and mobilization. The internet is a powerful tool for reporting, awareness, and activism. It spreads information quickly and connects millions of people worldwide at the push of a button. We must protect freedom on the internet.

World Backup Day - March 31, 2025

We’re fortunate enough to have access to the most powerful computers to date, but what would you do if you lost everything on your computer? Crashes happen more often than you think, data recovery can cost you hundreds of dollars, and recovering everything you’ve stored on your computer is not guaranteed. We understand, life gets hectic and it’s easy to forget to back up your files. Join us on March 31st, as we celebrate World Backup Day.
