3. Design and implement safeguards to address the risks and monitor the effectiveness of these safeguards;
4. Select and retain service providers that are capable of maintaining appropriate safeguards for the information and require them, by contract, to implement and maintain such safeguards; and
5. Firewalls & Active Management and Monitoring of the security of a network; and
6. Adjust the information security program in light of developments that may materially affect the program.
