Identify Your Most Important Digital Assets and Access to Them

• Exactly what are your company's digital assets?
• What are they worth?
• Where do those assets reside?
• Who has access to these assets, and why? Do all employees have the same level of network and application access?
• Do you extend access to partners and customers?
• How do you control, validate, and monitor that access?

Evaluate the Potential Impact of a Security Breach

• What is the potential financial impact of a network outage due to a security breach?
• Would a security breach be likely to disrupt your supply chain, and (if so) how?
• What would happen if your Web site went down? How long could the site be unavailable before you suffered a significant financial impact?
• Do you have e-commerce features on your site? How long could your storefront be unavailable before you suffered a significant financial impact?
• Does your company have insurance against cyber attacks, or against the misuse of your customers’ data? If so, is this insurance adequate?

Consider Both Current and Future Needs

• In what ways do you expect your business plan to evolve over the next few years?
• How recently have you updated your network equipment? Software? Virus definitions?
• What type of security training if any do you provide to your employees?
• How will growth affect your digital assets and their value to your business as a whole?
• In the future, are you likely to have a greater need for remote employees, customers, or partners to access those digital assets?
