IT Manager questions

If no one touched a keyboard or mouse in your organization the IT system would all run perfectly wouldn’t it?

The people who use the system are not under your control – they work for different managers – isn’t that correct? – so you only have a very limited control over what they do?

If the IT fell over would the company be able to deliver any product/ provide any customer service etc?

If that happened would you be held responsible (even though it may have been caused by someone in another department using their PC irresponsibly)?

If you weren’t able to provide customer service how long would it take your best customers to switch to your competitors?

Does your top management realize and understand this risk/ problem?

If they did understand the problem do you think they might want to do something about it?

IMSM can provide the Gap Analysis report which details your current level of compliance and the actions required (including user controls) to ensure you comply with best practice and are operating within an acceptable level of risk. This report will get you management support for the actions you require to really make your system secure!
