Then find your goals...

STEP 2: Set concrete goals, tasks, dates and numbers you can track

Featuring 997 new and updated case-based questions, organized into seven core areas of process design, this Self-Assessment will help you identify areas in which Data Center Security improvements can be made.

Examples; 10 of the 997 standard requirements:


1. What should an information security manager do FIRST when a service provider that stores your organizations confidential customer data experiences a breach in its data center?
   
   

2. Do you have effective lifecycle assessment and cradle to cradle strategies to design out or minimise harmful impact and maximise benefits for any given production process?
   
   

3. What physical security measures, processes, and monitoring capabilities does you have in place to prevent unauthorized access to its data centers and infrastructure?
   
   

4. What about logical security as policies, procedures, and proper integration of the data center core elements that will prevent unauthorized access to information?
   
   

5. Is your data center constantly challenged to deliver increased security and reliability in a cost effective and scalable solution for your network bandwidth?
   
   

6. Does the data center support complete redundancy throughout the infrastructure, from the switch gear, to firewalls, to servers, to the data center itself?
   
   

7. How would this be addressed for an on site review of the contracted data center and the review of the data center where the data backups are stored?
   
   

8. How does the CEO support security with a system of internal controls and security measures to ensure the privacy of your critical customer data?
   
   

9. Does it have the sole responsibility for all software installations on all equipment, regardless of how innocuous the loading might appear?
   
   

10. Do you use endpoint protection software including antivirus, anti malware, firewall and data execution prevention on all of your endpoints?
