Ensure the supporting solutions have successfully collected and analyzed data prior to running this job. See the Presentation Dependencies topic for alignment between presentation slides and jobs that supply the data points.

The CDSA job generates three PowerPoint files:

  • For the Presenter

    • The Netwrix_CDSA_Presentation.pptx file is designed to be presented live to the customer
  • For the Customer as printable assets

    • The Netwrix_CDSA_8.5x11_Presentation.pptx file is designed to be given to the customer for self-review as a PDF file
    • The Netwrix_CDSA_A4_Presentation.pptx file is designed to be given to the customer for self-review as a PDF file

CAUTION: Do not send any these presentations to a customer in PowerPoint format.

The printable assets can be converted to PDFs or printed booklet style at a professional print shop (suggested) if desired.

These presentations are located within the job’s folder in the Access Analyzer installation directory, which varies according to the location of the job within the Jobs tree. Navigate to this folder by clicking Open Folder on the job's overview page.

The presentation files contain slides for both a classic CDSA presentation applicable to most organizations and an ePHI Security Assessment applicable to the healthcare industry.

Delivering a CDSA Presentation Slide Show

The Netwrix_CDSA_Presentation.pptx file is designed to be presented live to the customer. There are two presentation options for the live slide show:

  • The CDSA - Classic slide show contains the first 24 slides and is applicable for most organizations
  • The ePHI Security Assessment slide show contains the ending slides with select summary slides from the Classic slide show and is applicable to the healthcare industry

Use the Custom Slide Show drop-down menu on the Slide Show ribbon in PowerPoint to select the appropriate presentation.

NOTE: Slide 17 is hidden by default as same information is available on Slides 18-20.

Netwrix University includes a training module with details on the key talking points for a live delivery of the slide shows. Check out the 315 – Getting Started with Credential & Data Security Assessment training course.

Choosing a PDF Version

Both of the printable assets have two customized options for converting to a PDF:

  • CDSA Classic – Contains the first 24 slides and is applicable for most organizations
  • ePHI Security Assessment – Contains the ending slides with select summary slides from the Classic slide show and is applicable to the healthcare industry

Follow the steps to create the appropriate custom PDF.

Step 1 – Use the Save As option.

Step 2 – Set the file name as desired and change the Save As type to PDF.

Step 3 – Click Options and change the Range to Custom show.

Step 4 – By default, this is set to the CDSA Classic show. If needed, change it to the ePHI Security Assessment show.

Step 5 – Click OK to confirm the option, and then click Save to generate the PDF.

The presentation is converted to a PDF with only the applicable slides included.

NOTE: Slide 16 is hidden by default as same information is available on Slides 17-19.

Custom Slide Show Alignment

The table lists each slide as it is listed in the Netwrix_CDSA_Presentation.pptx file. It indicates which slides are included in each custom slide show. There are slight variations in page numbering with the files designed to be saved as PDFs.
