Security measures are always important and critical to organizations. Being in the healthcare industry, there is HIPAA regulations that even intensify the importance of data protection and security enforcements. Upper management decided to implement NAC Lite on my site. A colleague from the network team was traveling to the site to lead the project.

I summarized the major tasks that completed this implementation:

• Obtained building floor plan and identified all public spaces (e.g. Conference/huddle rooms, reception, fitness center, labs, maintenance shop, mailroom, and cafeteria).
• Worked with network engineer to implement network access control.
• Conducted manual smoke test with corporate and personal devices for jacks that had NAC applied.
• Ensured devices within public spaces are working as it should after NAC implementation.
• Ran hypercare after implementation; kept communication with remote network engineer for any troubleshooting and changes.
