Preparing an Implementation Plan

To ensure that your security goals come from the security policy, repeatedly check the implementation plan. Gradually phase in the new security controls to provide an adjustment period for users.

• Define specific goals based on the security plan.

  Define the goals to help you implement the security plan.

• Define a pilot group of users as a prototype to implement CA ControlMinder.

  Test all CA ControlMinder features on the pilot group before protecting entities outside of the group. Testing with the pilot group can help you learn how to protect the rest of the organization.

• Decide what to protect

  CA ControlMinder protects business data, jobs, and users in the pilot group.

• Define a method to roll out the security control

Consider how to phase in the new security controls with minimum disruption to current work patterns. Consider a period of only auditing and not restricting access for various resources and classes. The resulting audit records show which users tend to require resource access.

Note: For more information about Warning mode (audit-only mode), see the Endpoint Administration Guide for UNIX and the Endpoint Administration Guide for Windows.
