When designing security it is important to understand what you are attempting to protect as well as what you are protecting against. What you are protecting are your assets and business processes. An asset is anything used in a business task. Without assets your organization could not function and would not exist. Your business processes are the activities performed to accomplish your mission or goals as well as providing products or services to your customers. What you are protecting against are the threats that could harm your assets or interrupt your business tasks.
