IT Security Check
Networking of resources and the widespread use of communication processes, including e-business and e-commerce, while providing obvious advantages, unfortunately entail ever increasing security threats to your company's data and applications.
It is the IT management’s responsibility to design and implement adequate security safeguards. These must be reflected on the organisational, as well as on the technical levels. We will assist you in defining and implementing your individual security requirements and policies, or in updating your existing ones.
Based on our security check, a security policy will be defined in cooperation with your management, or alternatively your existing policy will be revised to fit your requirements.
Key elements for IT security check projects:
- Security analysis with special consideration for building structures and organisational features, network infrastructure, server infrastructure, desktop systems, and employees’ awareness of security issues.
- Risk analysis and assessment.
- Drafting of a new or adaptation of the existing security policy.
- Planning of the implementation procedure.
- Employee training.
1. Security analysis:
In the course of the security analysis we assess and document the present state of your whole IT environment and /or the areas designated by you for analysis.
The following areas will be included in the security check:
Building environment, Organisational environment, Network and server, Desktop systems, Security awareness of employees.
2. Risk analysis and evaluation:
Any weaknesses and breaches that may impact security will be discussed in depth with the management and IT personnel along with possible remedies.
3. Motivating employees:
Employees are the pivotal factor in every security solution. The best strategies, tools, etc. become ineffective if employees lack the required security awareness or cannot acquire the same.
4. Creation of a security policy:
Customised to suit your company and your requirements.
5. Creation of an implementation plan:
In cooperation with the management and IT personnel.
6. Employee training:
Some facts cannot be stressed frequently enough: Employees are the key to successful security strategies. The best strategies, tools, etc. will be rendered useless, if employees are not committed to security or cannot be convinced that security measures are vital. Measures are frequently bypassed for the sake of convenience or through ignorance. This poses a serious threat to data security.
We offer appropriate training courses for your employees. Based on the results of the security check we will structure the training course to address these issues. We will convey the importance of the subject by employing case models, live hacking demonstrations, and other concrete examples that pertain to your actual work environment.
