IT Security Management
Changepoint IT Services provides risk assessments, designs security policies, and oversees the implementation of proactive security measures to safeguard your critical data and systems from evolving cyber threats.
The three basic tenets of information security are: confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data and data processing systems.
Confidentiality refers to the fact that the data is shared with the intended audience and only with them.
Integrity refers to the fact that the data has not been tampered with or altered in any way either during transit or at rest.
Availability of information and systems refers to the fact that data is available when and where it is needed.
Any IT security measures and policies must minimize threats to these three crucial aspects.
Changepoint IT Services coordinates with your management team, your IT service providers, insurance company, and any regulatory bodies in your industry to create a cohesive and comprehensive security program for your business.
We use the Center for Internet Security (CIS) framework to design, monitor and evaluate the implementation of your IT security policies.
Key components include:
-
Asset Inventory: inventory of your hardware and software assets; ensuring that only company-managed devices are connected to your network and only authorized software is running on them
-
Data Protection: ensuring that only authorized personnel have access to sensitive company data (such as financial information, employee information and confidential client data)
-
Device and Network Security: ensuring that all computing devices (workstations, servers, mobile devices, and networking equipment) are securely configured and protected according to industry best practices.
-
User Account Management: ensuring that only authenticated users have access to company resources and only to those resources that are necessary to perform their jobs.
-
Software Vulnerability Management: ensuring that security software updates and audit log analysis happen regularly
-
Email and Web Access Protection: ensuring that users are safeguarded from malicious actors attempting to breach your systems, deceive them into disclosing sensitive information, or manipulate them into transferring funds.
-
Incident Response Management: ensuring that your users are prepared to handle a security breach
-
Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Planning: ensuring that your data can be recovered in the event of a breach or data loss
-
Security Awareness Training: ensuring that all your employees understand the significance of data security and are equipped to implement measures to mitigate risks that can compromise your organization’s data processing systems
-
Service Provider Oversight: ensuring that your IT service providers comply with security protocols equivalent to those implemented internally when managing the company’s data.
