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

Technology Development & Acquisition (TDA) 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 TDA domain capabilities are formally documented and centrally-managed by the entity.
▪ Standardized Operating Procedures (SOP) associated with TDA 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 TDA domain capabilities to address applicable statutory, regulatory and/or contractual requirements for Technology Assets, Applications, Services and/or Data (TAASD).
▪ Technology development and acquisition-related controls are primarily administrative and preventative in nature (e.g., policies, standards and procedures & guidelines).
▪ Technology development and acquisition management may be a defined function (e.g., team or department) or assigned as an additional duty to existing IT and/or cybersecurity personnel.
▪ Secure development practices mostly conform to industry-recognized standards for secure engineering of Technology Assets, Applications and/or Services (TAAS) (e.g., OWASP, NIST SP 800-218 and NIST SP 800-160).
▪ An application development team, or similar function, uses a structured process to design, build and maintain secure configurations for test, development, staging and production environments.

Level 3 Well Defined

Asset Management (AST) 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 AST 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 AST domain capabilities are well-documented and kept current by process owners.
▪ An IT Asset Management (ITAM) team, or similar function, is appropriately staffed and supported to implement and maintain AST domain capabilities.
▪ Technology is leveraged to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of ITAM operations (e.g., ITAM platform, (e.g., Configuration Management Database (CMBD) Asset Management 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 AST 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 provide in-house support or contract external providers for support with unsupported Technology Assets, Applications and/or Services (TAAS).

Level 4 Quantitatively Controlled

Technology Development & Acquisition (TDA) capabilities, in addition to being standardized across the entity and centrally managed to ensure consistency across Technology Assets, Applications, Services and/or Data (TAASD), efforts are metrics driven to provide sufficient insight for decision makers to predict optimal performance, ensure continued operations and/or identify areas for improvement. Capability criteria associated with this control reasonably expect the following criteria to exist:
▪ Applicable SCR-CMM Level 3 (Well Defined) capabilities are implemented and operational.
▪ Metrics reporting includes quantitative analysis of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
▪ Metrics reporting includes quantitative analysis of Key Risk Indicators (KRIs).
▪ Scope of metrics, KPIs and KRIs covers organization-wide cybersecurity and data protection controls, including functions performed by third-parties.
▪ Organizational leadership maintains a formal process to objectively review and respond to metrics, KPIs and KRIs (e.g., monthly or quarterly review).
▪ Based on metrics analysis, process improvement recommendations are submitted for review and are handled in accordance with change control processes.
▪ Business and technical stakeholders are involved in reviewing and approving proposed changes to evolve capabilities.

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.

EULAW Artikel 28 Allgemeine Prinzipien
-
EULAW Artikel 28 (8)
Für IKT-Dienstleistungen, die kritische oder wichtige Funktionen unterstützen, richten Finanzunternehmen Ausstiegsstrategien ein. In den Ausstiegsstrategien wird den Risiken Rechnung getragen, die auf der Ebene der IKT-Drittdienstleister entstehen können, darunter insbesondere ein möglicher Fehler des IKT-Drittdienstleisters, eine Verschlechterung der Qualität der bereitgestellten IKT-Dienstleistungen, jede Unterbrechung der Geschäftstätigkeit aufgrund unangemessener oder unterlassener Bereitstellung von IKT-Dienstleistungen oder jedes erhebliche Risiko im Zusammenhang mit der angemessenen und kontinuierlichen Bereitstellung der jeweiligen IKT-Dienstleistungen oder der Beendigung vertraglicher Vereinbarungen mit IKT-Drittdienstleistern unter einem der in Absatz 7 genannten Umstände.

Finanzunternehmen stellen sicher, dass sie aus vertraglichen Vereinbarungen ausscheiden können, ohne:

a) 

Unterbrechung ihrer Geschäftstätigkeit,

b) 

Einschränkung der Einhaltung regulatorischer Anforderungen,

c) 

Beeinträchtigung der Kontinuität und Qualität ihrer für Kunden erbrachten Dienstleistungen.

Ausstiegspläne müssen umfassend, dokumentiert und im Einklang mit den in Artikel 4 Absatz 2 aufgeführten Kriterien ausreichend getestet sein sowie regelmäßig überprüft werden.

Finanzunternehmen ermitteln alternative Lösungen und entwickeln Übergangspläne, die es ihnen ermöglichen, dem IKT-Drittdienstleister die vertraglich vereinbarten IKT-Dienstleistungen und die relevanten Daten zu entziehen und sie sicher und vollständig alternativen Anbietern zu übertragen oder wieder in die eigenen Systeme zu überführen.

Finanzunternehmen verfügen über angemessene Notfallmaßnahmen, um die Fortführung der Geschäftstätigkeit zu gewährleisten, falls die in Unterabsatz 1 genannten Umstände auftreten.
