You might be scared to try a new encryption solution for your business. I don’t blame you. Oftentimes people overlook unforeseen consequences and may make rash decisions with devastating implications. That is why it is of utmost importance that you do not recklessly make changes to your security policies. Author Brien Posey suggests a three tiered approach to security policy changes: first you test the policy, then you deploy a pilot version to evaluate it, and the final, third stage is full scale deployment. Here at CopiaTECH, we help our customers through this three stage implementation process:

Testing the encryption policy is ideally done in an environment that closely resembles the entire network. Testing usually entails virtualization of the servers, then basic testing to confirm the policy works. It’s also quite important to test for side effects, those unwanted, unpredictable consequences that can ruin a network. The amount of testing necessary depends on the complexity of the change that you are making.

After testing the policy, it’s a good idea to implement it in a pilot version rather than full scale deployment. This can be done by executing the encryption policy only in one of your branch offices, or only on a few computers. This testing ground will offer insight into the problems you may face in the future and the reliability of the support staff. If all goes well, you are ready for full scale deployment.
