Configuration and Firewall Protection - Ensures all devices are configured correctly and are protected by firewalls.
Software Deployment - Put measures in place so only authorised software that is necessary to the business is implemented.
User Access Control - Access and privilege rights are only granted to the authorised employees who need them.
Patch Management - Keep all apps, devices, and software are kept up to date, as soon as the latest patches become available.
Data Protection - Secure all devices connected to the internet, ensuring the confidentially, integrity, and availability of any data stored on them.
