Assessment Objectives
In addition to relevant policies, standards and procedures, the assessor shall examine, interview, and/or test to determine if appropriately scoped evidence exists to support the claim that:
- BCD-23_A01 a backup architecture is documented that identifies backup storage locations, data flows and the mechanisms used to protect backup copies.
Assessment rigor: 1
Origin: SCF Created - BCD-23_A02 backup copies are stored in an immutable form (e.g., Write Once Read Many (WORM) storage, object lock or retention lock) that prevents modification or deletion for the defined immutability period.
Assessment rigor: 1
Origin: SCF Created - BCD-23_A03 the period for which backup copies remain immutable is defined.
Assessment rigor: 3
Origin: SCF Created - BCD-23_A04 backup copies and backup infrastructure are protected from unauthorized access, including through encryption of backup data and access restrictions on backup repositories.
Assessment rigor: 1
Origin: SCF Created - BCD-23_A05 privileged actions on the backup infrastructure (e.g., deleting backups or changing retention or immutability settings) are restricted to authorized personnel, require multi-factor authentication and are logged.
Assessment rigor: 1
Origin: SCF Created - BCD-23_A06 the immutability of backup copies is tested at a defined frequency and the results are documented.
Defined parameters: at least quarterly
Assessment rigor: 2
Origin: SCF Created

- 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/Terms & Conditions
