Week 4 Structured Assignment - Preventative Controls

Watch VideoDetection Controls vs. Prevention Controls - CompTIA Security+ SY0-301: 3.6

Create Preventative Controls for SunGrafix, a video game design company. In some cases, the outage impacts identified in the BIA may be mitigated or eliminated through preventive measures that deter, detect, and/or reduce impacts to the system. Where feasible and cost effective, preventive methods are preferable to actions that may be necessary to recover the system after a disruption. Preventative controls include the identification of effective contingency planning preventive controls and maintaining these controls on an ongoing basis. Identify and incorporate a variety of preventive controls into your BCP. Some of the listed controls are the following:

  • Appropriately sized uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) to provide short-term backup power to all system components (including environmental and safety controls);
  • Gasoline- or diesel-powered generators to provide long-term backup power;
  • Air-conditioning systems with adequate excess capacity to prevent failure of certain components, such as a compressor;
  • Fire suppression systems;
  • Fire and smoke detectors;
  • Water sensors in the computer room ceiling and floor;
  • Heat-resistant and waterproof containers for backup media and vital non electronic records;
  • Emergency master system shutdown switch;
  • Offsite storage of backup media, non-electronic records, and system documentation;
  • Technical security controls, such as cryptographic key management; and
  • Frequent scheduled backups including where the backups are stored (onsite or offsite) and how often they are recirculated and moved to storage.

The primary reason for the implementation of the preventative controls is to prevent
anomalies as well as blunders from occurring. They are installed inside the internal control systems
which need massive effort in foundational stages of design as well as implementation. However,
for the case of the preventative controls, they do not need major investments taking place. It is
essential and noble for SunGrafix to install the preventative controls that will aide in the smooth
operations of the daily activities in case of any interruptions.
A suitably sized uninterruptible power supply unit which will help in the provision of the
power back for the entire system should be installed. This is an essential prevention control for the
firm to curb challenges that come with power failures. The UPS will be connected to the gadgets
that utilize power so that they can enable them to operate for a period of time even when there is
a black out. Therefore, the UPS will provide power temporarily until the backup is done. This will
ensure that the daily operations within the firm won’t be affected by the interruptions of the power
outages. Additionally, information will be backed up in advance since the UPS will help in the
supply of power to enable the users to finalize or save what they are working on. The UPS will
also provide continuity of the activities before the backup power comes in and is referred to as a
power disruption prevention control.
Another preventative control measure is the use of the gasoline or diesel powered
generations in the provision of power in case the power outage is takes a longer period of time.
This time of control is essential for situations whereby the power failure is for a longer period of
time and cannot be supported for long by the UPS. SunGrafix will definitely require the

preventative control because of it nature of operations that require no interruptions of power and
will serve as prevent operation interruption.
The firm requires sufficient air-conditioning systems that will hence in the protections of
gadgets like compressors. The AC system is essential preventive feature for the computer
elements. This is so because it controls the system temperature. Because SunGrafix activities
requires continuous running of the systems, the air conditioning system will be important in the
cooling of the components. Therefore, the AC system acts as a system failure prevention control
because of harsh temperatures in the system.
It is also essential for SunGrafix to acquire and install fire suppression systems that will
help in the eradication of a fire in case it breaks out within the premises...
