A top priority should be addressing Social Engineering issues, including enacting internal
security procedures (such as the use and configuration of passwords and avoiding virus-infected
e-mail attachments) and training your staff so they understand their role in the prevention of
security breaches and virus infections.
One of the most overlooked areas in information security is the trash. Corporate trash
often contains client information, marketing plans, social security numbers, computer passwords,
accounting information, etc.
As part of our process, we can identify potential physical and user operational areas of vulnerability. This can be anything from discarding key information in the trash, to physical access to servers and key data (backup tapes), to user practices of password compliance, email attachment procedures, and web site access policies. We will work with you to create or customize policies focused on your organization’s unique needs and concerns.
