Policy Development
Security Policies are instructions that illustrate management's position on security within the computing environment. These policies are high-level statements that define appropriate usage of information systems and specify which uses are acceptable and unacceptable. The Security Policies document serves as a baseline tool for management to set clear priorities and expectations for employees. Three sets of polices should be maintained: I.S., executive management and end-user policies. Pacific Technologies offers services to develop each set of Security Policies.

Secure Architecture Design
Secure architecture design is the "master plan" of your information security system. A well-designed security architecture provides the level of assurance you require for the integrity, availability, access control to and audibility of your information assets. Furthermore, good architecture ensures that your security does not get in the way of the usability of your system. Proper design allows you to have control with a minimum of inconvenience.

Pacifica Technologies can aid your business in the design and implementation of Information System security plans that meet your organizational requirements. Our expert staff can design a system from the ground up, or help to integrate a new service, policy or countermeasure into an existing design.

Secure System Integration
The majority of security "holes" that allow electronic intruders access to a system are caused by misconfigurations. With operating systems and software constantly changing and becoming more complex, and with the heavy workload of the average I.S. staff member, it is difficult enough to keep up without worrying about security issues. Using its considerable experience, Pacifica's staff can analyze or reconfigure existing equipment or install new components to ensure the desired level of security.

Pacifica offers a complete range of design an integration services, from configuring and installing a single firewall to a complete secure network integration. Combined with their other services, Pacifica can help build a secure system, create the policies governing its use, and train your staff in proper procedures and maintenance. Only a firm with Pacifica's expertise and experience can offer such a turn-key security program.

HealthCheck
The Pacific Technologies Security HealthCheck identifies the major areas of concern within your company's computing environment. Basic recommendations are made for corrective action that can be taken to improve any weaknesses discovered. This information will enable your company to develop the foundation of an information security plan, and/or re-prioritize existing security objectives. The HealthCheck service is a scaled-down version of the Vulnerabilities Assessment.

Firewall Review
The Pacific Technologies Firewall Review is a comprehensive, in-depth look at the security of your firewall. The intent of this analysis is to identify vulnerabilities that could potentially lead to a breach of the firewall and/or a compromise of the protected information system. Our approach to accomplish this is much more than simply a "scan" of your firewall from the Internet, as is provided by most other companies offering a similar service.

Server Review
The Pacific Technologies Server/Host Review is a comprehensive, in-depth look at your company's vital servers. The Intent of this analysis is to review your server and its ability to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of your company's information assets.
