Description

Choosing the Right Security Framework

This IDC Perspective discusses choosing the right security framework. Choosing the right security framework is not a trivial matter and should consider the various criteria described along with a good understanding of the various security frameworks available. Providing careful guidance throughout the process will make all the difference when engaging the key stakeholders and decision makers to make a sound choice. The result will benefit the organization with a security strategy that is the "right fit," is financially possible to achieve, and will have the best chance of being well managed."The right security framework is a critical factor in adequately managing security risks not only present today but also for risks that could appear in the future," says Phil Harris, research director, Cybersecurity Risk Management Services, IDC. "While there are several good security frameworks that have been created over the past few years, the good news is there is more to choose from, and the unwelcome news is it may not be an easy choice. The wrong choice could render a regulated organization insufficiently protected or leave a small to medium-sized business spending too much for security."

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
