Topic Last Modified: 2009-04-15
Planning environment-specific security includes the following tasks:
Plan security for an internal team or department environment (Windows SharePoint Services)
Plan security for an internal IT-hosted environment (Windows SharePoint Services)
Plan security for an external secure collaboration environment (Windows SharePoint Services)
Plan security for an external anonymous access environment (Windows SharePoint Services)
Use the appropriate tasks based on your target security environment:
Internal team or department
Internal IT-hosted
External secure collaboration
External anonymous access
For the internal team or department environment, these recommendations are intended to be used instead of the recommendations provided in Plan server farm security (Windows SharePoint Services). This approach relies on the security implemented in an organization's overall network environment and greatly simplifies the amount of security configuration required for an individual team or department.
For the other three environments, the recommendations provided represent additional guidance that is intended to be used together with the recommendations provided in Plan server farm security (Windows SharePoint Services).
This article provides the following information for each environment, as applicable:
Server design checklist, including topology and logical architecture
Security hardening for server roles
Secure configurations for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 features
