Security rule
compliance tips

  • Include the administrative and physical components of security - not just the technical aspects - in your risk analysis.
  • Put your information security officer (ISO) in
    a reporting relationship
    with necessary authority to carry out the security mission.  For example, have the ISO report to both your CIO and CEO
    .
  • Document other security roles and their responsibilities, such as your information owners.  Train personnel in these roles, and hold them accountable.
