Auditing The Systems / Application Domain For Compliance

State how security arrangements are implemented in relation to the workplace, the general public, site personnel and resources.

| Describe the organisational security procedures for tools, equipment and personal belongings in relation to site, workplace, company and operative.

The departments of a company that are holding personal information are required to have adequate security measures in place. Those include technical measures (such as firewalls) and organisational measures (such as staff training).

A key step in determining which procedure should take place is to identify what systems and applications are mission critical. A mission-critical system would be any system that must continue to operate so that business continues to operate. Mission-critical applications also must continue to operate of course so that business can continue to operate.

Programmes that has security as a main design consideration. These are programmes that are algorithmically secure and have been written in a secure manner.

Physical security – are generally intended to deter potential intruders 9 e.g. warning signs and perimeter markings); to detect intrusions and monitor / record intruders (e.g. intruder alarms and CCTV systems); to trigger appropriate incident responses (e.g. by security guards and police).

By having proper equipment and competent employees to combat the possibility of sensitive information being

Make sure the facility has good security measures in place. This can include separate security for each unit, security cameras, on-site staff and electronic entry.

Implementing physical security as an access control plan takes a great effort of planning. Physical security is the protection and controlled access of personnel, the environment they operate in, which includes the hardware and what it contains, as well as the rooms and buildings they are located in. Physical security has three indispensable parts: access to control, observation, and testing. Obstacles should be set for potential aggressors and physical areas should be bolstered against anything causing delays, attacks or natural disasters. Such measures can include proper fencing, locks, control access cards, biometrics that control systems and fire proofing structures. Physical areas should be checked using observation cameras and for

Based on the analysis, my recommendation is to create technical policies for the use of company resources such as all hardware and software including email and internet, security policies that govern password complexity and account access, in addition to policies that define network access, personal phones, and assigned company equipment such as tablets. In addition to this, policies regarding updating software patches, antivirus definitions, and other software need to be defined. In order to ensure the network is protecting the entrance to the network effectively, access and configuration should be defined

The greatest area of vulnerability and potential for damage or data loss of web applications and

Physical security explains security measures that are designed to avoid unauthorized access to facilities. Additionally, it uses human elements, tools and equipment in order to protect boundaries, facilities and buildings. The aim of physical security is to describe and grasp control systems and methods. Also, applying policy, giving training, increase the awareness and security level for staff is important in order for them to protect their organization from criminals or anyone who wants to gain unauthorized physical access such as piggybacking.

In the Workstation Domain security controls are one of the biggest challenges. Physical security threats are concerns associated more with attackers who gain physical access to the premises. The attackers can cause physical destruction of equipment or sabotage the equipment. The attacker can sabotage the system if the attacker has sufficient knowledge of the system, such as a former employee, and gains access to the system and then renders the system unusable, or deletes and changes information.

This research paper focuses on how IT audits are done and how they can help in assisting an organization in its regulatory compliance effort by identifying information security weaknesses prior to an external audit. The key players and their roles are defined, as well as organizational, results-based, point-in-time systems and extended-period audits. This leads to a natural question. In this new world of connected GRC, what is the role of internal audit compared to compliance? Where do these roles remain separate and where do they share responsibilities? How can these professionals work together to drive business value?
