Are you reviewing you firewall rules quarterly? Have you implemented an (IDS) intrusion detection system? Are your routers set up to prevent unauthorized intruders? Do you have the latest and greatest virus protection? Are you performing a SAS70 audit every six months? Database security breaches are increasing daily and costing tremendous amounts of dollars that should have been spent on IT projects. You should at least have an emergency plan in place when data loss occurs. Without an emergency plan in place, the breach could continue and the legal costs could continue to escalate.

My Company takes dataloss seriously. We have a strategic plan in place which priorities Companies actions and coordinates data managment. This plan includes firewalls, and constant firewall management. We install the best virus protection products on our servers, laptops and pda’s. We have recently put together an emergency plan, and in the process of testing it. Our goal is to have strong internal controls and be ready to have the SAS70 audit performed this year.
