Security Policy

People are the greatest threat to security. IT Risk Management is a career path in itself. Quite often, a basic security policy for a company is overlooked. Countless times, a place of business has passwords laying on people’s desks or taped to their monitors. On top of that, computers are left unlocked and unattended. To defile strict HIPPA compliance and PHI compliance regulations as well as their clients information may not only be left open on unattended computer screens but also on paper in plain sight of anyone who walks by. Companies do not understand the severity of going against regulations and compliance. They can be reported to the GDPR and face millions of dollars in fines for breaching HIPPA and PHI. Plus, they will be held accountable for not enforcing a basic security policy within their place of business.
