Hi, I’m Wendy from IT Club.
This page brings together a few useful tools to help you check how your business technology is set up.
You can look at things like email security, domain protection and reputation, without needing to understand all the technical detail first.
If something comes back that you’re not sure about, don’t worry.
You can use Ask the Advisor and we’ll help explain what it means in plain English.
Some of the tools are provided directly by IT Club and some link to specialist services from Altitude IT.
Either way, you can use this page as a simple starting point to check things for yourself.
Take a look around and see what’s useful.
