The twin challenge of this sector is to safeguard and protect customer information and at the same time provide a safe and pleasant environment for its employees to work in.

Threats to the IT sector are complex and varied

Risk assessment – it is important to consider the people, process, technology, and physical vulnerabilities that, if exploited by a threat, could affect the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of critical functions. Responses to potential risk include:

  • Improving physical security
