1.Secure strong password enforcement..But how can we make the masses use them with out becoming a Nazi about it?

2.Securing the servers behind a locked door

3.Checking for unsecured ports on the network..But what is the best technique in doing this?

4.Physical security. Would I be responcible for running the internal security department as in teh roaming security guards?

3.Checking for unsecured ports on the network..But what is the best technique in doing this?

You can run a port scan and see which port is open. For example is your company didnt use FTP service and port21 is open. You may close or disable it.

4.Physical security. Would I be responcible for running the internal security department as in teh roaming security guards?

what i understand about physical security is that securing your server or workstation having physical contact by a intruders. If a intruders having a physical contact with the server he may just plug in a thumdrive and install a virus or something. to prevent this you may disable the use of USB.
