Assessment & Policy ReviewsBefore any organization can seriously begin security policy development they need a thorough assessment of their existing methods. That’s why Structured comprehensively examines your information technology infrastructure and your facilities to find potential vulnerabilities.
Structured relies on a proven process for assessing security. That’s why we’re the recognized experts in secure technology infrastructure. We start by identifying the information that is critical to your organization and by evaluating the systems that process, store and transport it. We also look at physical access to your IT equipment. Once all vulnerabilities have been identified, we deliver a complete assessment document that details the vulnerabilities and the solutions we recommend to eliminate or mitigate weaknesses. We also give you direction in two critical policy areas:
Policy CreationA policy is typically a document that outlines specific requirements or rules. In the information technology/network security realm, policies are usually point-specific, covering a single area. For example, an "Acceptable Use" policy would cover the rules and regulations for appropriate use of the computing facilities. Structured can help you develop policies that preserve the integrity of your information without compromising availability or the productivity of people who have legitimate access.
Policy StrategyThe long-term success of your network security will be a function of how security policy dovetails with business goals. When Structured performs a security assessment, we examine the synergy between business strategy and security strategy. We ensure that all key stakeholders participate in strategy development to ensure that all parties understand and respect the organization’s tolerance for risk.
Basically, the focus of a network security strategy should be:
• Protect data—both at rest and in transit through the network—
according to its security classification
• Mitigate new and emerging threats
• Maximize resources while delivering services securely
• Match the organization's tolerance for risk
• Meet compliance and regulatory requirements
Because information is the lifeblood of your organization, Structured specializes in thorough security assessment and thoughtful policy review and development. Our policy expertise guides you toward the best possible technology and processes for protecting your business critical information and for getting the most out of your IT investments.
