Network Operators should design their SS7 network components and interfaces consistent with industry base security guidelines to reduce the risk of potentially service affecting security compromises of the signaling networks supporting the public telephone network. This also applies to Public Safety in the context of transitional NG9-1-1 architectures involving Legacy Network Gateways and Legacy Selective Router Gateways.

See NIIF Reference document Part 3, Appendix I. This document provides guidance for desirable security features for any network element (call agent, feature server, soft switch, cross connect, gateway, database). It identifies security functionality, which should be in place by design, device or procedure. It includes an assessment framework series of checklists.
