Some software that would be used is very high quality anti -virus, anti -malware software and also anti - spyware software which is used to stop any breach in the security. The system will also need to have other security utility software such as firewalls and defender programs that help secure the system even more.
​
Network sharing needs:
​
-
Network sharing would be important to use at his sort of establishment as the system would need to be able to share the same setups of programs such as anti-virus software, so that each computer has the same level of protection and security. Also the system needs to have the ability to share files to the server. The company would also need a strong internet connection to update security software and other programs and contact different types of support if this is needed.
Need for maintenance contract:
​
-
This type of company will definitely need a maintenance contract as the server and programs that have been installed onto each PC in the system will need a full configuration and check up to make sure that everything is running smoothly all of the time. And the team would need to make sure that the security is still up and that nothing has been breached in any way at all. Typically the software will also need to be updated and the server will have to be maintained regularly
​
Outputs required:
​
-

-
The computers for the company must integrate and must work with the server so that data can be moved around quickly without any issues. This method also increases the effectiveness of the company because it makes the data transfer and backing up data stage a lot easier.

Processing power:
​
-
The processing power of the consultancy business system must be very powerful as different security programs such as anti -virus software and ant-malware programs can be run a lot faster and can run the system a lot smoother.

There needs to be enough space on the systems so that all of the utilities and programs can be stored. But he server needs to have enough space in it so that files can be stored and backed up safely. ​

​
-
Some users may have disabilities so they may find the experience a lot more difficult,But some settings can be and programs can be configured correctly, because of this the usability of the computer/s is easier to use. But people who have impaired sight may struggle and may not be able to use some utility programs to their fullest potential.
The ICT competence of the intended user:
​
-

They must also be able to know whether a file is infected or if a computer is affected by some sort of virus or other harmful program. They must also know how to remove harmful programs or viruses.
Training requirements:
-
This type of career may involve quite a bit of training as a lot of precautions need to be taken and a lot of processes have to be done, such as the things that were stated in the section above this one. They would need to do all of this correctly and identify types of viruses to effectively remove unwanted software.
Cost:
​
-
The cost of all of the computers for the company wont be a lot as they are quite basic and only need to be used to check again software and viruses but they still need to do all the tasks that are needed. But he cost of the programs and the anti-virus program licences will cost a lot in total and utilities like the firewalls will also cost a lot. Also the higher end servers and processors will cost quite a lot in the short term.
