One of the very first things you need to secure is your hardware. You need to make sure that your devices are kept away from the prying eyes of thieves.

You also need to make sure that the server room must be transparent enough so that you can see what is going on in that server room at every point in time.

There is a need for you to also identify your software and enumerate them. You need to make sure that anti-virus are installed and they are updated regulated. You have to make that it is only lawful users that are able to access your software at. any point in time.

Another major component that you need to secure is your personal information. This includes your login details such as your password, social security number, national identity number as well as other personal information that can give hackers access to your account.
