Computerworld - Each time content is added to a corporate Web site, it should first be viewed by representatives from the legal, human resources, marketing, IT and business units, says Eduard L. Telders, security manager at Pemco Financial Services.

Telders and Richard Wilhelm, a former CIA agent and vice president of national security at Booze-Allen & Hamilton Inc. in McLean, Va., say businesses should take extra caution with the following types of information:

Physical layout, floor plans and plant structures
Details of network infrastructure
Detailed customer and supply chain elements
Employee names, pictures and organizational charts
Executive travel schedules and personal information
Purchases and hiring for special projects
Research and development
Manufacturing processes

In addition, they say, review your HTML source code for explanatory data leaks and look for obsolete Web pages still mounted to your site.
