Protecting the intellectual assets of a small business can be a daunting task for a business manager, considering the multitude of information security threats.
This report describes the means of protecting intellectual assets and provides a checklist of measures that a manager of a micro or small enterprise could reasonably take to keep their intellectual assets secure.
The report covers a case study of poor security, legal protection through registration and protections for trade secrets, legal recourse in the event of infringements, physical and structural security in buildings, organisational measures, software security, hardware security, network security and cloud security.
As a “product” of the report, the appendices include a security cube, with six categories of security points in the form of a checklist on each face of the cube.
