Let's face it. Everyone owns at least one computer at home. Most of us don't know if the data on it is truly secure, or if it's safe to let our kids use it. The prospect of having to spend hours researching your computer or your kids' gaming consoles can be daunting. You may ask yourself:

What if I lose the data on my computer? Is my internet as fast as it can be? What's the difference between one router and another one? What can I do to make sure my kids are safe online? Are my devices at risk of being hacked?

If you find yourself asking these questions, don't despair! We're here to help you get to know your network and computing devices so you get the most out of them and enjoy the comfort of security and safety for you and your household.

At Sixpence IT, our goal for home computing follows a simple outline:

• Know what you have and how to use it.
• Keep yourself, your data, and your family digitally secure.
• Make your technology work for you.

Our philosophy is that the homeowner/parent(s) have the final say in what goes on in their home. In order for parents to exercise this responsibility, they must be armed with the knowledge of what they have, so they can decide how it should--or shouldn't--be used.

We encourage home computing to comply with our "C.I.A." guidelines:

• Confidentiality - Prevent unauthorized use or abuse of your technology (Network and Device Security)
• Integrity - Ensure your data and technology is preserved (Data Backup, Device Maintenance/Health)
• Accessibility - Ensuring the right people can use the right technology anytime they need to (Networking, File Sharing, Usage Monitoring)
