This page summarizes the practical safeguards Clover Technologies recommends and supports for managed IT clients.
Security-First Managed IT
Clover Technologies approaches managed IT with security built into planning, support, and ongoing operations. Controls are tailored to each environment, service scope, and business need.
Common Security Practices
Multi-factor authentication guidance for email, remote access, cloud apps, and administrative systems.
Endpoint protection recommendations, including managed antivirus and endpoint detection and response where appropriate.
Monitoring and alerting for covered systems, services, and supported platforms.
Patch management planning for operating systems, applications, and supported devices.
Microsoft 365 security configuration guidance, including account protection, conditional access conversations, and email security review.
Backup and recovery recommendations aligned with business continuity needs.
Security awareness recommendations to help reduce phishing and credential risk.
Network security best practices for firewalls, segmentation, remote access, wireless networks, and secure configuration.
Proactive vulnerability management through review, prioritization, and remediation planning.
Shared Responsibility
Security outcomes depend on collaboration. Clover Technologies can recommend, configure, monitor, and support controls within scope, while customers remain responsible for business decisions, user behavior, approvals, and internal policy enforcement.
Change and Access Management
Access changes should be requested by authorized contacts.
Security-sensitive changes may require approval, verification, or additional context.
Administrative access should be limited, reviewed, and protected with MFA.
Configuration changes should consider business impact, security impact, and recovery options.
Continuous Improvement
Threats, technology, and business needs change. Clover Technologies helps clients prioritize practical improvements that reduce risk over time instead of treating security as a one-time project.
