RE: Initial Security assesment for a large university - what to ask?

["Murda" <murdamcloud () bigpond com>]

Security passes/ids, keys, documentation, any IT
equipment(phones/laptops/BB's/USB), configs.

Did they sign NDA's or contracts when starting that forbid any access after
termination?

Do they have any VPN or wireless access email accounts that need killing?

Do door codes or swipe card points need re-configuration?

When you start thinking about it, it's like user setup in reverse.

Subject: Initial Security assesment for a large university - what to ask?

Dear friends,

I've been asked to be part of a large project. A local college (in 
Cancun,MX) is changing administration, and as a part of it, seems like 
they are changing the whole IT team. My orders were clear "Make a list 
of all that they need to give to you, security-related".

I'm thinking:

- root logins and passwords for all servers/routers/etc


... and I stopped there. Any other ideas on what I should demand from them?

Thanks,
Camilo Olea
