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

SCR-CMM Level 2 criteria definitions are not available for this control:
▪ A reasonable person would conclude a well-defined and standardized process is required.
▪ At this level of maturity, the “requirements-driven” nature of performing the control is focused on a localized and/or regionalized implementation, not uniform and consistent across the organization.
▪ Requirements are narrowly scoped for applicability and are primarily derived from compliance obligations (e.g., laws, regulations and contracts).

Level 3 Well Defined

Risk Management (RSK) 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 RSK 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 RSK domain capabilities are well-documented and kept current by process owners.
▪ A risk management team, or similar function, is appropriately staffed and supported to implement and maintain RSK domain capabilities.
▪ Technology is leveraged to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of risk management operations (e.g., risk management solution, GRC platform and TPRM tool).
▪ 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 RSK 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 define organizational risk tolerance, the specified range of acceptable results.

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.

die quantitativen oder qualitativen Indikatoren zur Messung der Auswirkungen und der Wahrscheinlichkeit eines Auftretens der unter Ziffer i genannten Schwachstellen und Bedrohungen;

c) 

das Verfahren zur Ermittlung, Implementierung und Dokumentation von Maßnahmen für die Behandlung von IKT-Risiken mit Blick auf die ermittelten und bewerteten IKT-Risiken, einschließlich der Festlegung von Maßnahmen für die Behandlung von IKT-Risiken, die erforderlich sind, um diese unter die Risikotoleranzschwelle nach Buchstabe a zu senken;

d) 

für IKT-Restrisiken, die nach der Implementierung der Maßnahmen für die Behandlung von IKT-Risiken gemäß Buchstabe c weiter bestehen:

i) 

Bestimmungen über die Ermittlung dieser IKT-Restrisiken,

ii) 

die Zuweisung von Aufgaben und Verantwortlichkeiten mit Blick auf

1. 

das Eingehen von IKT-Restrisiken, die die Risikotoleranzschwelle nach Buchstabe a des Finanzunternehmens überschreiten,

2. 

das Überprüfungsverfahren gemäß Buchstabe d Ziffer iv,

iii) 

die Erstellung eines Inventars der eingegangenen IKT-Restrisiken, einschließlich einer Begründung, weshalb sie eingegangen wurden,

iv) 

Bestimmungen über die Überprüfung der eingegangenen IKT-Restrisiken, die mindestens einmal jährlich vorgenommen wird, einschließlich zur

1. 

Ermittlung etwaiger Änderungen der IKT-Restrisiken,

2. 

Bewertung der verfügbaren Abhilfemaßnahmen,

3. 

Bewertung, ob die Gründe für das Eingehen der IKT-Restrisiken zum Zeitpunkt der Überprüfung noch gültig und anwendbar sind;

e) 

Bestimmungen über die Überwachung

i) 

jeglicher Änderungen der IKT-Risiken und der Cyberbedrohungslage,

ii) 

interner und externer Schwachstellen und Bedrohungen,

iii) 

des IKT-Risikos des Finanzunternehmens, damit Änderungen, die sich auf sein IKT-Risikoprofil auswirken könnten, rasch erkannt werden können;

f) 

Bestimmungen über ein Verfahren, mit dem sichergestellt wird, dass alle Änderungen der Geschäftsstrategie und der Strategie für die digitale operationale Resilienz des Finanzunternehmens berücksichtigt werden.

Für die Zwecke von Absatz 1 Buchstabe c stellt das dort genannte Verfahren sicher, dass

a) 

die Wirksamkeit der implementierten Maßnahmen für die Behandlung von IKT-Risiken überwacht wird;

b) 

bewertet wird, ob die festgelegten Risikotoleranzschwellen des Finanzunternehmens erreicht wurden;

c) 

bewertet wird, ob das Finanzunternehmen tätig geworden ist, um diese Maßnahmen erforderlichenfalls zu korrigieren oder zu verbessern.

  • 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/
