The 10 Domains of Security

To provide a common body of knowledge and define terms for information security professionals, the International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium (ISC)2 created the following ten (10) security domains:

1.   Security management practices;
2.   Access control systems and methodology;
3.   Telecommunications and networking security;
4.   Cryptography;
5.   Security architecture and models;
6.   Operations security;
7.   Application and systems development security;
8.   Physical security;
9.   Business continuity and disaster recovery planning;
10. Laws, Investigation, and ethics.

These domains provide the foundation for security practices and principles in all industries, not just banking.

Our name, 10-D Security embraces all of these security domains and illustrates our commitment to them.
