Hi Roman,

Implementing security in an organization is a big challenge
as for the basic checklist is concerned the following are
necessary

1. Security Policies
2. Access Controls
3. Auditing
4. Vulnerability Analysis
5. Intrusion detection
and many more depending on the type of organization.

Now above may be easy to say, but hard to comprehend.
