Updating of security procedures and scheduling of IT security audits:

All security procedures within a company are required to be regularly updated in order to allow for a company to be able to have procedures in place that are able to be made use of in order to allow for either staff or any software’s that are made use of within the company to be able to combat or deal with things such as new threats or issues that may be found to be a threat to the company as they are discovered. This is able to ensure that a company is properly prepared and equipped to deal with any new threats that may have recently been discovered so as to allow for the companies security staff and security software’s to be able to either prevent any threats such as this from being able to cause a problem within the company or to limit the amount of damage that something such as this may be able to cause within the company if it is unable to be eliminated at the time.

In terms of physical threats that may require for the company to have to update its policies this may include things such as new technologies that may be able to be made use of in order to either gain access to the company or any of its systems as well as any new methods which may have been discovered that people may be able to use in order to gain access to the building or systems so as to ensure that the companies staff are properly prepared for anything such as this. In terms of online threats the company would have to update its security policies and security software’s in order to allow for them to be able to deal with any newly discovered issues that may be able to potentially pose a threat to the company’s systems in some way which may consist of things such as blocking any new websites that may potentially pose a threat to the company in addition to other things such as new hacking methods and malware which are able to damage the companies systems. In addition to this scheduling of security audits on the company’s systems can also aid in preventing any threats that may pose a threat to the company from being able to cause any issues by allowing for the system to be able to automatically keep track of what all members of staff within the company are doing throughout certain times of the day in order to ensure that no members of staff are using unauthorised websites or other software’s that could pose a threat to the security of the companies systems.

This is done by allowing for all computers that are connected to the company’s network to be checked periodically by an automated software which is used in order to gather information of what users of the system are doing on their computers at the time of the check and transferring this data to the relevant authorities within the company e.g. IT support or security depending on how the company may choose to configure the software.
