ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Confirm client requirements and network equipment | 1.1 Confirm and validate client requirements 1.2 Determine scope of internet services with reference to client requirements 1.3 Identify and install both hardware and software components 1.4 Verify equipment specifications and availability of components |
2. Review security issues | 2.1 Assess security features of internet gateways with reference to architecture and security plan 2.2 Review security measures with the internet service provider (ISP) with reference to firewalls and other measures as required 2.3 Brief users on the security plan with reference to internet use and hazard possibilities |
3.
