Step 1: Establishing Needs

There are four steps for constructing a secure digital environment: Classify – Reduce – Fortify – Create Networks. These steps are key to improved data security. In this toolkit, we’ll guide you through them. But start with this:

• Assess the need to establish more secure channels of communication to share specific information between organisation members.
• Obtain details about current communications and how data management takes place in order to reflect on whether there may be security gaps in these processes.
• Have you experienced any type of attack on your social networks or the organisation’s e-mails? If you have, now is a good time to reassess your digital security.
