UPDATE: Deadline Extended Again to March 1, 2010
A couple years ago, we started to see a trend. Many of our customers, although small, were being forced to abide by the much stricter security rules of their large clients, especially those in the insurance, financial, and technology sectors. That meant that a one-room company with a server, 3 computers, and a firewall might be held to the ISO 17799 standard for Information Technology Security, written for companies with 100s of employees.
In working with these clients, we realized that while having IT Security policies make sense for any size business, but it's really hard for many small businesses to afford the complete set of security documents to make them both secure in their IT as well as compliant for their clients.
Enter our Organizational Security Briefing (OSB): a proactive solution to securing your information security.
Tech Superpowers’ OSB for Mac-based businesses is a thorough security review of your organization's information systems. With it, we research and provide answers to business-critical questions like:
- Are your digital assets stored safely? Are they secured against disaster, accident, and malicious intent?
- Are appropriate physical and digital safeguards in place to protect your assets? Is your confidential data segregated properly?
- Do you have appropriate policies in place, and have you adequately documented them? Are your documents and policies regularly reviewed and updated?
What You Get
The OSB is just as much about the process as the result. A technician will visit your location and perform a detailed analysis of your information systems and physical security. We'll assess your compliance with international security standards, determine areas of improvement and non-conformities, document our findings, and present a detailed step-by-step plan.
You will also receive:
- A defined data security policy to add to your handbook
- A set of recommended IT policies, including things like establishing wireless networks, making changes to networks, etc.
- A security policy signature page for your employees to sign once annually
- A basic Business Continuity Plan to meet most enterprise client requirements
Identifying your informational security strengths and weaknesses is vital to the responsible management of a business today - especially a business that shares digital data with clients, vendors, and partners. Creating a trusted environment for your vendors and partners isn't just a good idea - it's also a competitive advantage.
