Another aspect of computer security is disaster recovery, this might include damage caused by a natural or manmade occurrence.

The key decision makers in a security project would include:
Chief Executive Officer: The most senior corporate officer reports to the board of directors.
Chief Information Officer: Is a senior executive in charge of information technology and computer systems that support the organization.

The rest of the decision makers would be members of the security team and administrators.
