on and you should collect the following information within a excel sheet with your
management team.

threat. Risks include potential consequences and vulnerabilities including loss of
data, downtime and security breach.

following areas:

Your server manages, stores and processes your data 24x7x365. Your servers need

14. Step 6 = Assess Your Policies & Procedures
Do you have an Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)?
Is a set of rules for the network that outlines how network can be used and sets
guide lines. This will reduce the potential for legal action that may be taken by a
user, and often protect the organization.

Monitoring workplace computer activity can protect your business. This policy will
outline that the company can monitor email and/or computer activity any time.
Do you have an BYOD Policy?
If an employee leaves/terminated, phone must given to IT to delete email/data or
phone can be remotely wiped causing complete data loss. Organization is not
responsible for data lost if policy is violated.
