With physical controls you need to understand that this is a computer that is accessed right there on site and since this is a pharmacy it is going to be one of the three computers that are available at any of the three windows for anyone to use. There needs to be a username to log in with a password that has its own requirements attached to it. Also, with a computer onsite and physical access if no one is using the computer it needs to automatically lock itself within 10-15 minutes unless it is already in use. With logical access you need to understand that this is what some companies would say is a “privilege”. To be able to work for example from home or on vacation and not have to be at work physically to do the job that you are required to do. Some cases some sort of token may be set in place where you need a username, password and pin + token in order to access the network and the data that may even be shared on a local share drive. However; sometimes certain access is restricted to make sure that there is no data that could possibly be transmitted into the wrong hands or get lost. With both cases it is important that a firewall is set in place and internet security should both be in place and monitored to make sure that the firewall is running

(Be sure that you are not just installing any patches because implementing an untested patch could potentially bring down the servers.) Patches should also be done at least once a month if not more to be sure that they are no “open gaps” or vulnerabilities that could compromise the network by a potential hacker.
In this example, pharmacy personnel have to be sure of the surroundings and the environment at all times to make sure that there are no physical vulnerabilities that could happen. A pharmacy is required and held by high standards to make sure that customer’s confidential information and data get out. If the network gets hacked the pharmacy would no longer be able to function. This would slow production 2-fold and the business itself would have to suffer, thus causing people to go
