Windows Server® 2012 Unleashed

Procedural Documents

Although security policies and guidelines comprise the majority of security documentation, procedures are equally as important. Procedures include not only the initial configuration steps, but also maintenance procedures and more important procedures that are to be followed in the event of a security breach.

Additional areas regarding security that can be documented include the following:

• Auditing policies, including review

• Service packs (SPs) and hotfixes

• Certificates and certificates of authority

• Antivirus configurations

• BitLocker

• Password policies (such as length, strength, age)

• GPO security-related policies

• Registry security

• Lockdown procedures
