Risk analysis is another prerequisite to information security. When a customer’s IT infrastructure is assessed, potential vulnerabilities are looked at all levels of the infrastructure. Controls and costs for situations, systems and applications are also looked at.

Defining Policy

A policy is typically a document that outlines specific requirements or rules. In the information/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 to develop policies that preserve the integrity of information without compromising the productivity of those who have legitimate access to it. We offer everything from off-the-shelf policy solutions to customized policy development. , Structured also guides companies through the hurdles of peer review, corporate sponsorship and executive approval with our experienced security project management team of Certified Information Systems Security Professionals.

Risk analysis is also essential to information security. Structured specializes in risk analysis with security assessment. When assessing a customer’s existing security measures, potential vulnerabilities are looked for at all levels of the organization. This includes the three major groups of security: administrative, physical and technical. The assessment can be used as a measurement of how well the information security policies and programs are working, or can be used as a prerequisite to policy creation. An assessment can also be used to look at the controls and costs of risk mitigation, security systems or applications. After determining the needs of the assessment, Structured then recommends security solutions that will fit the company’s budget and aversion to risk. Ultimately, the security assessment will produce a document to satisfy corporate policy or government regulatory requirements like SOX, HIPAA and GLBA.
