There are three interrelated information security issues of concern to businesses; zero-tolerance, well-being, and privileged information.
Zero-tolerance in the protection of data is the high expectation environment in which business is at risk. To recover from losses suffered as a result, it will need to go to court and prove that it took the proper measures to safeguard information. In well-being situation, it is the business attempting to recover from damages, but with privileged information the clients/customers seek to gain financial relief from the business. The business will again need to prove that they acted appropriately to safeguard data or they will be liable for negligence.
The environment is zero-tolerance because companies often will not work with a business that cannot assure their system is safe. To ensure a company meets the requirements of a zero tolerance environment, security audits are used. They involve: complete scans of the network, computing architecture, and application platforms. Auditors also perform tests against viruses, Trojans, worms and other internal and external threats. Additionally, there is an evaluation of the responsiveness of the company including their ability to identify and resist attacks. After examination of the companies system, an assessment is composed describing the problems uncovered and recommendation for improvements.
