3. Preparedness 

Hope for the best and prepare for the worst — are the basics of a security management plan. In this step, you will prepare a list of actions deployed in case of any security breach or emergency incident. For example, in case of theft, the building will be ceased, while if it is an emergency like a fire, it will be evacuated. Furthermore, expert teams are formed or hired to handle these situations.

4. Response 

This step takes into consideration — when a real-time incident happens then how well the contingent steps will be executed. A checklist of actions will be prepared and performed by the response teams (IT, security, fire team, or others) during the containment procedures of a breach. For example, the IT team will restart the systems/servers to break the online hack. Similarly, the security team checks camera recordings and increases security on exits while handling a physical security breach. 

 

Pro Tip: Always try to administer these steps calmly and share the required information with others to prevent any panic. You can call a quick meeting/huddle to make others aware of the situation.

5. Recovery 

This step holds significant value for security management and business. Although it depends on teams' response/damage control (Step 4) during an incident, the business should restore its normal functions and operations as soon as possible. Calculation of loss or damage and finding ways to recover that loss is part of this. Recovery can be assets, data, communications, business operations, and more. For example, after a system has been hacked, the IT department will check how much data has been lost. Do they have a backup for it.? If yes, then how much time will it take to restore. And if not, will it be possible to proceed without that data. It will also define the value that information holds for your business and its operations.

These steps will help you design a security plan for any industry — IT, corporate, finance, healthcare, etc. But one thing about the security management plan is that it is mostly reactive. Organizations or teams respond after the incident happens. Like service engineers will rectify a bug or study a hack after it has hit the business. To save yourself from the impact of a security breach, you need to take some proactive steps. Here we are sharing a few extra tips to structure a proactive security management program for your organization and customers:

 

Regularize Risk assessment: conduct risk assessment regularly and check the risk associated with every asset of the company. This will help you stay ahead of breachers.

 

Teach security practices: Educate your peers on the best security practices. Investment in security management classes and assignments, and check their knowledge about security practices through these assignments.

 

Intrusion management system: Most companies have intrusion detection systems as a part of security management tools. Fix this with an intrusion prevention system, which will stop intruders rather than just showing red flags post intrusion.

 

System updates: Advanced technology is another thing that can keep you ahead of hackers. Update your systems regularly and install new technologies on-premises, especially essential for security management.

 

Permeability: One of the most critical parts of the information security system is that you can share the data with the selective and required people of the organization. Make it a cardinal rule to honor the privacy of your clients/customers. 

 

In the end

 

The world and technology are undoubtedly changing very quickly. As the ways to strengthen the security increase, so does ways to breach it. Nowadays, data and information hold and drive the marketplace. That is why an industry invests millions of dollars in designing a proper security management system.
