SCR-CMM

Level 0 Not Performed

Practices are non-existent, based on the inability to demonstrate an implemented and operational capability. A reasonable person would conclude the control is not being performed.

Level 1 Performed Informally

SCR-CMM Level 1 criteria definitions are not available for this control:
▪ A reasonable person would conclude this control requires a structured process.
▪ At this level of maturity, the "ad hoc" nature of performing a capability informally would indicate the intent of the control is not met due to a lack of consistency and formality.

Level 2 Planned Tracked

Human Resources Security (HRS) capabilities are requirements-driven, but are not standardized across the entity (e.g., local/regional level consistency). Capability criteria associated with this control reasonably expect the following criteria to exist:
▪ Policies and standards associated with HRS domain capabilities are formally documented and centrally-managed by the entity.
▪ Standardized Operating Procedures (SOP) associated with HRS domain capabilities are documented and maintained by process owners.
▪ IT and/or cybersecurity personnel work with business stakeholders and process owners to appropriately scope and reasonably implement cybersecurity and data protection controls associated with HRS domain capabilities to address applicable statutory, regulatory and/or contractual requirements for Technology Assets, Applications, Services and/or Data (TAASD).
▪ Personnel management-related controls are primarily administrative and preventative in nature (e.g., policies, standards and procedures & guidelines).
▪ Personnel management is decentralized at a localized/regionalized function, where there are non-standardized methods to govern personnel matters across the organization.
▪ Localized HR practices are implemented for hiring, managing, training, investigating and terminating employees, contractors and other personnel that work on behalf of the organization.
▪ The HR department, in conjunction with IT and/or cybersecurity personnel, evaluates risk for individuals requiring elevated privileges or access to sensitive/regulated data.

Level 3 Well Defined

Human Resources Security (HRS) capabilities are standardized across the entity for applicability to People, Processes, Technologies, Data and/or Facilities (PPTDF) to ensure consistency for Technology Assets, Applications, Services and/or Data (TAASD). Capability criteria associated with this control reasonably expect the following criteria to exist:
▪ Policies and standards associated with HRS domain capabilities are formally documented and centrally-managed by the entity's Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) team, or similar function.
▪ Standardized Operating Procedures (SOP) associated with HRS domain capabilities are well-documented and kept current by process owners.
▪ A Human Resources (HR) team, or similar function, is appropriately staffed and supported to implement and maintain HRS domain capabilities.
▪ Technology is leveraged to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of human resources security operations (e.g., personnel management software solution).
▪ The entity's Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) team, or similar function, works with business stakeholders and process owners to appropriately scope and reasonably implement cybersecurity and data protection controls associated with HRS domain capabilities to address Minimum Compliance Requirements (MCR) (e.g., applicable statutory, regulatory and/or contractual requirements) and Discretionary Security Requirements (DSR) (e.g., entity-required controls).
▪ An implemented and operational capability exists to avoid incompatible development-specific roles through limiting and reviewing developer privileges to change hardware, software and firmware components within a production/operational environment.

Level 4 Quantitatively Controlled

Utilize SCR-CMM Level 3 criteria definitions:
▪ There are no defined Level 4 criteria, since it is reasonable to assume a quantitatively-controlled process is not necessary to operationalize this control.
▪ While it may be possible to develop “metrics-driven” capabilities for this control, the criteria would be organization-specific to define.

Level 5 Continuously Improving

Utilize SCR-CMM Level 3 or Level 4 (if available) criteria definitions:
▪ There are no defined Level 5 criteria, since it is reasonable to assume a continuously-improving process is not necessary to operationalize this control.
▪ Level 5 capabilities should be considered “world-class” where the control builds on Level 4 capabilities, but are continuously improving through Artificial Intelligence (AI) and/or Machine Learning (ML) technologies.
▪ While it may be possible to develop responsive capabilities for this control through the use of AI and/or ML technologies, the criteria would be organization-specific to define.

Artikel 21

Adgangskontrol

Som led i deres kontrol med rettigheder vedrørende adgangsforvaltning udvikler, dokumenterer og gennemfører finansielle enheder en politik, der indeholder alt følgende:

a) 

tildeling af adgangsrettigheder til IKT-aktiver på grundlag af need to know-princippet, need to use-princippet og least privilege-princippet, herunder fjernadgang og adgang i hastetilfælde

b) 

adskillelse af opgaver, der er udformet med henblik på at forhindre uberettiget adgang til kritiske data eller forhindre tildeling af kombinationer af adgangsrettigheder, der kan anvendes til at omgå kontroller

c) 

en bestemmelse om brugeransvar, idet brugen af generiske og delte brugerkonti begrænses så vidt muligt og det sikres, at brugerne til enhver tid kan identificeres med hensyn til de handlinger, der udføres i IKT-systemerne

d) 

en bestemmelse om begrænsning af adgangen til IKT-aktiver, der fastsætter kontrolforanstaltninger og værktøjer, som skal forhindre uautoriseret adgang

e) 

procedurer for kontoforvaltning med henblik på tildeling, ændring eller tilbagekaldelse af adgangsrettigheder for brugerkonti og generiske konti, herunder generiske administratorkonti, som omfatter bestemmelser om alt følgende:

i) 

tildeling af roller og ansvarsområder for tildeling, gennemgang og tilbagekaldelse af adgangsrettigheder

ii) 

tildeling af privilegeret adgang, hasteadgang og administratoradgang på need to know-basis eller ad hoc-basis for alle IKT-systemer

iii) 

øjeblikkelig inddragelse af adgangsretten ved ansættelsesforholdets ophør, eller når adgangen ikke længere er nødvendig

iv) 

ajourføring af adgangsrettigheder, når ændringer er nødvendige, og mindst en gang om året for alle IKT-systemer, bortset fra IKT-systemer, der understøtter kritiske eller vigtige funktioner, og mindst hver sjette måned for IKT-systemer, der understøtter kritiske eller vigtige funktioner.

f) 

autentificeringsmetoder, herunder alle følgende:

i) 

anvendelse af autentificeringsmetoder, der svarer til den klassificering, der er fastsat i overensstemmelse med artikel 8, stk. 1, i forordning (EU) 2022/2554, og til IKT-aktivernes overordnede risikoprofil og under hensyntagen til førende praksis

ii) 

anvendelse af stærke autentificeringsmetoder i overensstemmelse med førende praksis og teknikker vedrørende fjernadgang til den finansielle enheds netværk, privilegeret adgang, adgang til IKT-aktiver, der understøtter kritiske eller vigtige funktioner, eller IKT-aktiver, der er offentligt tilgængelige

g) 

foranstaltninger til fysisk adgangskontrol, herunder:

i) 

identificering og logføring af fysiske personer, der har tilladelse til at få adgang til lokaler, datacentre og sensitive udpegede områder, som er angivet af den finansielle enhed, og hvor der ligger IKT-aktiver og informationsaktiver

ii) 

tildeling af fysiske adgangsrettigheder til kritiske IKT-aktiver udelukkende til autoriserede personer i overensstemmelse med need to know-princippet og least privilege-princippet og på ad hoc-basis

iii) 

overvågning af fysisk adgang til lokaler, datacentre og sensitive udpegede områder, som er angivet af den finansielle enhed, og hvor der både ligger IKT-aktiver og informationsaktiver

iv) 

gennemgang af fysiske adgangsrettigheder for at sikre, at unødvendige adgangsrettigheder straks tilbagekaldes.

Med henblik på litra e), nr. i), fastsætter finansielle enheder opbevaringsperioden, idet de tager hensyn til forretnings- og informationssikkerhedsmålene, årsagerne til registreringen af hændelsen i logfilerne og resultaterne af IKT-risikovurderingen.

Med henblik på litra e), nr. ii), anvender finansielle enheder, når det er muligt, særlige konti til varetagelse af administrative opgaver vedrørende IKT-systemer. Hvis det er muligt og hensigtsmæssigt, anvender finansielle enheder automatiserede løsninger til forvaltning af privilegeret adgang.

Med henblik på litra g), nr. i), skal identifikationen og logføringen stå i rimeligt forhold til betydningen af lokalerne, datacentrene, de sensitive udpegede områder og den kritiske betydning af de operationer eller IKT-systemer, der foretages og ligger deri.

Med henblik på litra g), nr. iii), skal overvågningen stå i rimeligt forhold til den klassificering, der er fastlagt i overensstemmelse med artikel 8, stk. 1, i forordning (EU) 2022/2554, og den kritiske betydning af det område, hvortil der opnås adgang.

  • Secure Controls Framework -

    The Secure Controls Framework® (SCF)

    "The SCF is the Common Controls Framework™ (CCF), the world's most comprehensive cybersecurity and data privacy metaframework - it is also free to use. The entire concept is building secure, compliant and resilient capabilities in the most efficient and cost-effective manner possible.

    The SCF is more than just a unified control catalog, since its included content creates a playbook for Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) capabilities. Used globally by organizations of every size, the SCF is a robust and scalable solution for security, compliance and resilience controls. As a comprehensive security framework, the SCF maps 1,400+ controls across 200+ laws, regulations, and industry frameworks so you can implement once and comply everywhere.

    Like it or not, cybersecurity is a protracted war on an asymmetric battlefield, where the threats are everywhere and as defenders we have to make the effort to work together to help improve cybersecurity and data privacy practices, since we all suffer when massive data breaches occur or when cyber attacks have physical impacts. Hackers share information on attack methods with other hackers, so why shouldn’t the good guys share information on how to best protect an organization? We decided to take action and make a difference, since we feel it is too important to wait for someone else to fix the problems that exist.

    The SCF is made up of volunteers, mainly specialists within the cybersecurity profession, who focus on GRC and the cybersecurity side of data privacy. These are auditors, engineers, architects, incident responders, consultants and other specialists who live and breathe these topics on a daily basis. The end product is "expert-derived content" that makes up the SCF." https://securecontrolsframework.com/
