Key Assignment
The management team likes the information and the work performed in setting up the Help Desk. Up to this point, you have been able to provide them with valuable information:
Roles and responsibilities
Tools and technologies
IT systems support
Processes and problem resolution
The management team is comfortable that the service level agreements can be met with respect to things they can control, namely employee performance and knowledge base quality. They are, however, concerned that because the majority of the help desk support infrastructure is based on Web-based self-service, an outage on the Web site could lead to missed service levels.
Describe what can be done to ensure the security and availability of the Web-based infrastructure and what the company can do to keep the help desk running in the event of a Web site outage (business continuity). The discussion about security should focus on 3 levels:
Physical security
Network infrastructure/security
Application infrastructure/security
Add the discussion about security and business continuity to the section titled Performance Management.
At this point, the Key Assignment template is complete. The following sections should be completed, and be sure to incorporate any feedback received from the instructor and peer reviews:

Table of contents (updated to reflect correct page numbers)
