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

Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery (BCD) domain capabilities are ad hoc and inconsistent. Capability criteria associated with this control may include:
▪ Policies, standards & procedures associated with BCD domain capabilities provide limited coverage due to the depth and breadth of the existing documentation.
▪ Contingency management-related activities are decentralized (e.g., a localized/regionalized function) and uses non-standardized methods to implement secure, resilient and compliant practices.
▪ Limited technologies exist to support near real-time network infrastructure failover (e.g., redundant ISPs and redundant power).
▪ IT and/or cybersecurity personnel develop limited Disaster Recovery Plans (DRP) to recover business-critical Technology Assets, Applications and/or Services (TAAS) and services.

Level 2 Planned Tracked

Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery (BCD) 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 BCD domain capabilities are formally documented and centrally-managed by the entity.
▪ Standardized Operating Procedures (SOP) associated with BCD 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 BCD domain capabilities to address applicable statutory, regulatory and/or contractual requirements for Technology Assets, Applications, Services and/or Data (TAASD).
▪ Business Continuity / Disaster Recovery (BC/DR)-related controls are primarily administrative and preventative in nature (e.g., policies, standards and procedures & guidelines).
▪ BC/DR may be a defined function (e.g., team or department) or assigned as an additional duty to existing IT and/or cybersecurity personnel.
▪ Business stakeholders and process owners identify business-critical TAASD and External Service Providers (ESPs).
▪ IT and/or cybersecurity personnel work with business stakeholders and process owners to identify single points of failure from a TAASD perspective.
▪ IT and/or cybersecurity personnel work with business stakeholders and process owners to develop BC/DR plans to recover business-critical TAASD.
▪ Data/process owners conduct a Business Impact Analysis (BIA) at least annually, or after any major technology or process change, to identify TAASD that are critical to the business, as well as single points of failure.
▪ Business stakeholders and process owners designate alternative decision-makers if primary decision-makers are unavailable.

Level 3 Well Defined

Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery (BCD) 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 BCD 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 BCD domain capabilities are well-documented and kept current by process owners.
▪ A Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery (BC/DR) team, or similar function, is appropriately staffed and supported to implement and maintain BCD domain capabilities.
▪ Technology is leveraged to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of BC/DR operations (e.g., BC/DR planning software, Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS), Orchestration and Automation Tools).
▪ 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 BCD 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 facilitate the implementation of contingency planning controls to help ensure resilient Technology Assets, Applications and/or Services (TAAS) (e.g., Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) or BC/DR playbooks).

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.
Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery (BCD) 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.

1.   All’interno del quadro per la gestione dei rischi informatici di cui all’articolo 6, paragrafo 1, e in base ai requisiti di identificazione stabiliti all’articolo 8, le entità finanziarie predispongono una politica di continuità operativa delle TIC esaustiva, la quale può essere adottata come una politica specifica dedicata che costituisce parte integrante della politica generale di continuità operativa dell’entità finanziaria.

EULAW Articolo 11 2

2.   Le entità finanziarie attuano la politica di continuità operativa delle TIC tramite accordi, piani, procedure e meccanismi appositi, appropriati e documentati, miranti a:

a)

garantire la continuità delle funzioni essenziali o importanti dell’entità finanziaria;

b)

rispondere in maniera rapida, appropriata ed efficace e trovare una soluzione a tutti gli incidenti connessi alle TIC, in modo da limitare i danni e privilegiare la ripresa delle attività e le azioni di ripristino;

c)

attivare senza ritardo piani dedicati che prevedano tecnologie, processi e misure di contenimento idonei a ciascun tipo di incidente connesso alle TIC e a scongiurare danni ulteriori, nonché procedure mirate di risposta e ripristino stabilite in conformità dell’articolo 12;

d)

stimare in via preliminare impatti, danni e perdite;

e)

stabilire azioni di comunicazione e gestione delle crisi che assicurino la trasmissione di informazioni aggiornate a tutto il personale interno interessato e ai portatori di interessi esterni, conformemente all’articolo 14, e comunicare tali informazioni alle autorità competenti, conformemente all’articolo 19.

EULAW Articolo 11 3

3.   All’interno del quadro per la gestione dei rischi informatici di cui all’articolo 6, paragrafo 1, le entità finanziarie attuano i piani di risposta e ripristino relativi alle TIC associati; per le entità finanziarie diverse dalle microimprese tali piani sono soggetti a un audit interno indipendente.

EULAW Articolo 11 4

4.   Le entità finanziarie predispongono, mantengono e testano periodicamente opportuni piani di continuità operativa delle TIC, in particolare per quanto riguarda le funzioni essenziali o importanti esternalizzate o appaltate tramite accordi con fornitori terzi di servizi TIC.

EULAW Articolo 11 5

5.   Nell’ambito della politica generale di continuità operativa, le entità finanziarie effettuano un’analisi dell’impatto sulle attività aziendali (Business Impact Analysis — BIA) delle loro esposizioni a gravi perturbazioni delle attività. Nel quadro della BIA, le entità finanziarie valutano l’impatto potenziale di gravi perturbazioni delle attività mediante criteri quantitativi e qualitativi, utilizzando, se del caso, dati interni ed esterni e analisi di scenario. La BIA tiene conto della criticità delle funzioni commerciali, dei processi di supporto, delle dipendenze da terzi e dei patrimoni informativi individuati e mappati, nonché delle loro interdipendenze. Le entità finanziarie provvedono affinché le risorse TIC e i servizi TIC siano progettati e utilizzati in piena conformità con la BIA, in particolare garantendo adeguatamente la ridondanza di tutte le componenti essenziali.

EULAW Articolo 11 6

6.   All’interno della gestione complessiva dei rischi informatici, le entità finanziarie:

a)

testano i piani di continuità operativa delle TIC e i piani di risposta e ripristino relativi alle TIC in relazione ai sistemi di TIC a supporto di tutte le funzioni almeno una volta all’anno nonché in caso di modifiche di rilievo ai sistemi di TIC a supporto di funzioni essenziali o importanti;

b)

testano i piani di comunicazione delle crisi istituiti in conformità dell’articolo 14.

Ai fini del primo comma, lettera a), le entità finanziarie diverse dalle microimprese inseriscono nei piani dei test scenari di attacchi informatici e del passaggio tra le infrastrutture delle TIC primarie e la capacità ridondante, i backup e le attrezzature ridondanti necessarie per soddisfare gli obblighi di cui all’articolo 12.

Le entità finanziarie riesaminano periodicamente la politica di continuità operativa delle TIC e i piani di risposta e ripristino relativi alle TIC, tenendo conto dei risultati dei test svolti in conformità del primo comma e delle raccomandazioni formulate sulla base dei controlli di audit o degli esami di vigilanza.

EULAW Articolo 11 7

7.   Le entità finanziarie diverse dalle microimprese si dotano di una funzione di gestione delle crisi che, in caso di attivazione dei piani di continuità operativa delle TIC o dei piani di risposta e ripristino relativi alle TIC, fissa, tra l’altro, procedure chiare per la gestione della comunicazione interna ed esterna delle crisi, in conformità dell’articolo 14.

EULAW Articolo 11 8

8.   Le entità finanziarie rendono prontamente accessibili le registrazioni delle attività svolte prima e durante le perturbazioni in cui vengono attivati i piani di continuità operativa delle TIC e i piani di risposta e ripristino relativi alle TIC.

EULAW Articolo 11 9

9.   Le controparti centrali trasmettono alle autorità competenti copie dei risultati dei test di continuità operativa delle TIC o di esercizi analoghi.

EULAW Articolo 11 10

10.   Le entità finanziarie, diverse dalle microimprese, comunicano alle autorità competenti, su loro richiesta di queste ultime, una stima dei costi e delle perdite annuali aggregati causati da incidenti gravi connessi alle TIC.

EULAW Articolo 11 11

11.   A norma dell’articolo 16 dei regolamenti (UE) n. 1093/2010, (UE) n. 1094/2010 e (UE) n. 1095/2010, le AEV elaborano, tramite il comitato congiunto, entro il 17 luglio 2024 orientamenti comuni sulla stima dei costi e delle perdite annuali aggregati di cui al paragrafo 10.

EULAW Articolo 12 1

1.   Al fine di assicurare che i sistemi e i dati di TIC siano ripristinati riducendo al minimo il periodo di inattività e limitando la perturbazione e le perdite, all’interno del proprio quadro per la gestione dei rischi informatici le entità finanziarie elaborano e documentano:

a)

le politiche e procedure di backup che precisano il perimetro dei dati soggetti a backup e la frequenza minima del backup, in base alla criticità delle informazioni o al livello di riservatezza dei dati;

b)

le procedure e i metodi di ripristino e recupero.

  • 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/
