He has completed a Business Impact Assessment (BIA) to better understand what data the company holds. Jon is the Head of Procurement and has listened intently to Henry's presentation. He has decided to go back to his department and complete a thorough risk assessment, as he is aware his team holds a lot of data on suppliers and contracts. The CEO of Purple Rain, Roger Nelson, has asked Henry about next steps in order to protect the company from further risks associated with the IT strategy. Data is currently stored on servers located at Purple Rain's Headquarters. The server room is locked at all times of the day and is only accessible to staff members who have a key. The building itself is extremely secure with CCTV systems located both inside the server room and outside it. However, the server room is prone to overheating.
