Security Checklist

• What needs to be protected? Be comprehensive in your answer; list people, information, buildings and equipment.
• What are you protecting against? Is it hackers in China, mischievous students, thieves, terrorists or all of the above?
• What are your security vulnerabilities?
• Who is responsible for security?
• Do administrators support all security initiatives? Can you make a case for those that don't have support? If not, how will you adjust your security approach?
• What security policies are in place currently?
• Are they being enforced?
• What are the district's plans or procedures for standardization? backup? redundancy? authentication? encryption? passwords?
