Administrative Controls

Also known as Procedural Controls

Mainly these policies, procedures and agreements define human and infrastructure factors of security.

Human Factors

Infrastructure Factors

Facility Infrastructure and design – computers, firewalls, network equipment, water, and building

Physical Security Controls

Maintain Safe and Secure Work Place

Main Potential threats to consider

Disaster Recovery location

Infrastructure Construction

Monitoring Systems

Access Controls

Training and Testing

Technical Controls

Technical and logical in place controls to authorize or restrict users and information.

Identification and Authentication

Authorization & Access Controls

Encryption

Antivirus software

Least privilege

Security Policies

High standard cryptographic algorithms for secure data transmission.

Masking customer data in intranet work for securing the customer information.
