Wireless LAN Security Checklist

Section one lists the mandatory security requirements, and requires the signature to attest that they are in place or will be in place immediately. Section two lists best practices which, while not required for approval, are strongly recommended. Wireless access connections should be regarded in the same manner as any physical Internet connection and protected accordingly. All business communications over a wireless or other un-trusted network, such as the Internet, must use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) solution to encrypt all communications. WAPs must be connected to a firewall that only allows access to a VPN service.
