Premier Collegiate School: Asset List
In the perspective of the asset list of the Premier Collegiate School, there are 300 students that need access to 25 desktop computers and they also will take these computers home. The staff and teachers are a total of 30 and they will have access to the hard-wire and wireless access. The administrative staff is a total of 10 and because this is a small number it is easier for the confidentiality to be in a tight knit space. With the wireless access it provides an open window of opportunity of availability. The principal will be taking her laptop on business trips and home so the availability access is at a higher standpoint. It is important in my opinion to have security on the principal’s laptop because she is accessing student’s private profiles and this is subject to the integrity and the availability of the student’s personal information. Another asset that must be prioritized is the high risk for unprotected wireless access. There are only 2 servers in the school and they are basically divided up between the administrative staff and the students. At any time they could become available to a threat. If the students and teachers are sharing and the proper security on the actual computers is compromised or weak all student information and their private records like their grades, scores, personal information is compromised. I think it is important to keep grades for the integrity of the students. The main security asset list needs to be prioritized in this order.
1. The administrative and business server
2. The students who need to have their own server for wireless access to limit the availability of a risk
3. Principals network computer
4. 10 Administrative desktop
5. 10 computers in teacher lounge
6. All students have their own laptops
7. 25 lab desktop computers
