All the tables are structured in the same way. The column headings show the threats listed in the
associated modules together with their numbers. The column at the far left shows the numbers of the
safeguards. Column 2 shows the priority assigned to a given safeguard in the module under
consideration. If this column contains an asterisk, then the safeguard concerned should be viewed as
"optional" in this module.
The other columns show the relationship between safeguards and threats. An "X" in a given cell means
that the corresponding safeguard is effective against the relevant threat. The effect of the safeguard
may be either of a preventive nature or else aimed at mitigating the loss or damage.
Where it is not possible to implement a recommended safeguard, it is possible to see from these tables
which threats, if any, are not properly protected against. In such cases consideration should be given as
to whether an alternative safeguard should be implemented. When using these tables, the number of
"X" entries next to a given safeguard should not be interpreted as an indication of the relative
importance of that safeguard. There are cases of safeguards which are only effective against a single
threat but which are still absolutely essential.
Finally it should be pointed out that all the modules, threats, safeguards, tables and additional aids are
contained on the CD-ROM which comes with the IT Baseline Protection Manual. The related text may
be reused to assist in drawing up a security concept and/or implementing safeguards.
