Identity and Access Management
Evaluate your IAM practices: Are you using MFA for all users? Do you have role-based access control? Are privileged accounts properly managed? Is single sign-on implemented?
Network Security
Assess network defenses: firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention, network segmentation, VPN security, and DNS protection. Ensure proper monitoring and logging are in place.
Endpoint Protection
Review endpoint security: antivirus/EDR deployment, patch management, device encryption, mobile device management, and application whitelisting.
Data Protection
Evaluate data security: classification policies, encryption at rest and in transit, data loss prevention (DLP), backup and recovery procedures, and secure data disposal.
Compliance and Governance
Assess compliance posture: regulatory requirements (HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, GDPR), security policies and procedures, employee training, incident response plans, and vendor risk management.
