Security Administration Procedures
Security administration involves the determination of a company's most important information and the creation, recording, and execution of policies, procedures, standards. Management techniques that include data categorization and threat analysis can be used to determine possible threats, categorize valuable data, and rate system weaknesses so that appropriate measures can be implemented.

Security Architecture and Paradigms
This covers the principles, framework, and standards followed to build, monitor, and secure OS platforms, equipment, networks, and application software as well as the tools utilized to enforce different levels of availability, integrity, and confidentiality.

Access Control Systems and Methodology
Access management systems are a collection of technologies that operate cohesively to build a security architecture to protect the high-value data of the information system.

This concerns identifying the controls over equipment, data storage, and the operators and managers with access privileges to these resources. Audit and tracking are the mechanisms and facilities that permit the identification of security-relevant activity and consequent actions to discover the key elements and convey the pertinent data to the appropriate person, group, or mechanism.

Site Security
Site security addresses security mechanisms for the whole facility, from the outside perimeter to the inside office space, including all of the information network resources.
