A culture of security

Attorneys and other legal experts caution that the best defense against being caught unaware on security law is to hard-wire security into the culture of your company. Here are six ways to work toward that end:

1. Advocate for a security committee at the board of directors level.
2. Adequately fund budgets for security-related initiatives.
3. Educate employees that security begins at their own desks.
4. Incorporate security into system design.
5. Appoint an IT risk assessment officer to consider scenarios and responses.
6. Form new internal partnerships among IT, business and legal departments to collaborate on security.
