Hello Usman,

I think it is very easy. You have to only want to do it. The integration of these facets above mentioned must go along side the owner´s point of view, management, training, budget and the intention to be changed.

In now a day you cant separate these sectors and impruve only part of it.

With best regards,

Mike H.

The best way to cover all feacets of commercial security is to start with an IT Security assessment , it can be useful to identify the environnement to be secured.

following this, we can talk about the IT Security mesurements to be implemented.

The best way is to approach the problem with governance and frameworks in mind.

When we implement, review and monitor frameworks (which includes controls), then its a little easier to maintain  everything as a "management system"

Information leak also need tough IT measures.
