Providing Pathways Corporation Offices Guidelines On Protecting Company Assets From Vulnerabilities From Physical Attack

Physical security is implemented via a locked door policy that is set with swipe card access. The company has security cameras set up in the front entry hallway to record entry and exit of all personnel. The server room floor is raised with cable management fed through easy access panels. The server room is locked at all times, with access is via swipe card only. There are foam sprinklers throughout the roof system to protect against fire. Racks are locked up to ensure no items can be manipulated without appropriate personnel present. Studio and production labs also have swipe card access to protect equipment.

internal and external users to whom access to the organization’s network, data or other sensitive

They must provide policies because it will walk staff through what to do if a disaster were to occur and how to get things up and running again.

P1. Identify the threats and the consequences of a failure in securities that exist to the security of people, property and premises in a public service.

Some include administrative, physical and technical safeguards. In administrative safeguards it allows the reader to understand the security management process to reduce risk and vulnerabilities. Security personnel responsible for developing and implementing security policies. Information access management minimum access to perform duties. Physical safeguard is about the limit of physical access to facilities, and how workstation and device security policies and procedure covering transfer, removal, disposal, and reuse of electronic media. Finally, technical safeguard is about the access control that restricts access to authorized personnel’s. Audit controls for hardware, software, and transitions. Integrity controls to ensure data is not altered or destroyed. Transmissions security to protect against un authorized access to data transmitted on network and via email. Moreover, there are three pillars of data security confidentiality, availability, and integrity. Confidentiality refers to the prevention of data loss, and is the category most easily identified with HIPAA privacy and security within healthcare environments. Usernames, passwords, and encryption are common measures implemented to ensure confidentiality. Availability refers to system and network accessibility, and often focuses on power loss or network connectivity outages. Integrity describes the trustworthiness and permanence of data, an assurance that the lab results or personal medical history of a patient is not modifiable by unauthorized entities or corrupted by a poorly designed process. Database best practices, data loss solutions, and data backup and archival tools are implemented to prevent data manipulation, corruption, or loss; thereby maintaining the integrity of patient

Other physical safeguards that will also be in place include visitor sign-in, proper destruction of electronic media that may contain PHI and 100% shred policy on all paperwork. All contractors that might be working at the hospital will only have access to the part of the facility where their work will be conducted and will escorted at all times while performing their duties.

Employees must be trained to security policy and procedures with periodic assessments on the effectiveness of these policies and procedures. Physical and authorized access is required to be limited. Policies should include proper use of and access to workstations and electronic media as well as the transfer, removal, disposal,

There are three main factors that need to be addressed when examining physical and technical security. These are prevention, detection of threats, and finally the recovery of systems. Prevention’s goal is to stop breaches and thieves before they even have a chance to make a move. Prevention is one of the main goals of all cybersecurity. This prevention will be the first line of defence. Detection ensures that if the protections are breached that the cause and effect will be identified. These detections also help in changing the company’s security policies. Finally, is recovery is the way that the breaches are addressed. All systems affected will be restored in some fashion and further changes will be made to policy and documentations. If there is any physical damage, it will be fixed.

As such, our company’s people resources pose the greatest risk for security breach. Our way to help mitigate risk in this area is to keep communication lines open in this area and to continually mandate security knowledge training, with mandatory updates on a regular basis. When the employees are informed of company policy when facing a security matter, they are better equipped to act in the best or right way. In this way knowledge is power – or at least empowerment to act in the best interest of the company’s information security.

This Enterprise Security Plan (ESP) for Riordan Manufacturing employees the levels of security required to protect the network and resources utilized to communicate. It is intended purpose is to formulate a means to counterattack against security risk from potential threat. The ESP servers as a way to identify risks and to ensure a contingency plan is in place to protect the availability, integrity, and confidentiality of the Riordan organization's information technology (IT) system. The ESP benefits all employees however it is most beneficial to information resource managers, computer security officials, and administrators as it is a good tool to use for establishing

Nine network closet rooms were tested and three network closets had physical access issues, where UTSA critical personnel could not access. This was due to the fact that a secured classroom or cubicle partition prevented direct entry into these closets. The network closet rooms with issues were:

Companies can prevent falling victim to unauthorized physical access by developing and implementing simple policies, standards, procedures, and guidelines for employees as well as guests to follow. Secure all areas containing sensitive systems and/or data. Require staff to follow entrance procedures when entering a secured area. Also ensure that physical data such as important documents are secured. Require

Security measures to be input into the firm to boost disaster recovery process include establishing firm registry in bomb proof vaults that will shield the firm’s documents and data from disasters such as terrorist attacks. Such will ensure that the records of the firm are not tampered with and as such the company is able to run business without fundamental data loss (Menken and Blokdjik, 2010).

Valuable assets, including network connectivity, stored data, processes and procedures, and client information can survive centralized disruption or destruction and can be revived quickly through the agency’s

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.
