The main indicators for intranet security compliance checks typically include:
Access Control – Ensuring only authorized users can access specific resources. This involves verifying user permissions, role-based access controls (RBAC), and multi-factor authentication (MFA).
Example: A company restricts database access to only the finance team using RBAC.
Data Encryption – Checking if sensitive data (at rest and in transit) is encrypted using strong algorithms (e.g., AES-256, TLS 1.2+).
Example: Internal communications are secured with TLS, and employee records are stored encrypted.
Network Security – Assessing firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS), and segmentation to prevent unauthorized access.
Example: A company uses a next-generation firewall to block malicious traffic and segments its intranet by department.
Vulnerability Management – Regularly scanning for and patching vulnerabilities in systems, applications, and devices.
Example: Monthly vulnerability scans identify and remediate unpatched software.
Logging & Monitoring – Ensuring logs are collected, stored securely, and monitored for suspicious activities.
Example: A Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system tracks login attempts and alerts on anomalies.
Endpoint Security – Verifying that devices (laptops, mobiles) have antivirus, endpoint protection, and compliance with security policies.
Example: All corporate devices enforce disk encryption and automatic updates.
Incident Response Plan – Checking if there’s a documented plan to respond to security breaches, including roles, escalation paths, and recovery steps.
Example: A simulated ransomware attack tests the response team’s readiness.
Compliance with Policies & Regulations – Ensuring adherence to internal security policies and external regulations (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA, ISO 27001).
Example: An annual audit verifies that data handling follows the company’s privacy policy.
For cloud-based intranet security, Tencent Cloud offers services like CAM (Cloud Access Management) for access control, SSL/TLS certificates for encryption, VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) for network isolation, and Cloud Security Scanner for vulnerability assessments. Additionally, Tencent Cloud Security Center provides centralized monitoring and threat detection.
