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

Change Management (CHG) domain capabilities are ad hoc and inconsistent. Capability criteria associated with this control may include:
▪ Policies, standards & procedures associated with CHG domain capabilities provide limited coverage due to the depth and breadth of the existing documentation.
▪ Change management-related activities are decentralized (e.g., a localized/regionalized function) and uses non-standardized methods to implement secure, resilient and compliant practices.
▪ Documented change control processes are either informal or do not exist.

Level 2 Planned Tracked

Change Management (CHG) 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 CHG domain capabilities are formally documented and centrally-managed by the entity.
▪ Standardized Operating Procedures (SOP) associated with CHG 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 CHG domain capabilities to address applicable statutory, regulatory and/or contractual requirements for Technology Assets, Applications, Services and/or Data (TAASD).
▪ Change management-related controls are primarily administrative and preventative in nature (e.g., policies, standards and procedures & guidelines).
▪ Change management 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 ensure changes to Technology Assets, Applications and/or Services (TAAS) within the System Development Lifecycle (SDLC) are controlled through formal change control procedures.
▪ A Change Advisory Board (CAB), or similar function, exists to govern Requests For Change (RFC) to TAAS to ensure security, compliance and resilience.
▪ The CAB includes a function to review RFCs for cybersecurity and data protection ramifications.
▪ The CAB notifies affected stakeholders to ensure awareness of the impact of proposed changes.

Level 3 Well Defined

Change Management (CHG) 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 CHG 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 CHG domain capabilities are well-documented and kept current by process owners.
▪ A centralized Change Management Office (CMO), or similar function, is appropriately staffed and supported to implement and maintain CHG domain capabilities.
▪ Technical procedures (e.g., ITIL change enablement) are utilized along with change management governance capabilities (e.g., Change Advisory Board (CAB)) to ensure successful, efficient and secure change management operations.
▪ 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 CHG 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 a change management program.

Level 4 Quantitatively Controlled

Change Management (CHG) 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.

4.   All’interno del quadro per la gestione dei rischi informatici di cui all’articolo 6, paragrafo 1, le entità finanziarie:

a)

elaborano e documentano una politica di sicurezza dell’informazione che definisce le norme per tutelare la disponibilità, l’autenticità, l’integrità e la riservatezza dei dati, dei patrimoni informativi e delle risorse TIC, compresi quelli dei loro clienti, se del caso;

b)

seguendo un approccio basato sul rischio, realizzano una solida struttura di gestione della rete e delle infrastrutture impiegando tecniche, metodi e protocolli adeguati, che possono includere l’applicazione di meccanismi automatizzati, per isolare i patrimoni informativi colpiti in caso di attacchi informatici;

c)

attuano politiche che limitano l’accesso fisico o logico ai patrimoni informativi e alle risorse TIC unicamente a quanto è necessario per funzioni e attività legittime e approvate, e stabiliscono a tale scopo una serie di politiche, procedure e controlli concernenti i diritti di accesso e garantiscono una solida amministrazione degli stessi;

d)

attuano politiche e protocolli riguardanti robusti meccanismi di autenticazione, basati su norme pertinenti e sistemi di controllo dedicati, e misure di protezione delle chiavi crittografiche di cifratura dei dati sulla scorta dei risultati di processi approvati per la classificazione dei dati e la valutazione dei rischi informatici;

e)

attuano politiche, procedure e controlli documentati per la gestione delle modifiche delle TIC, comprese le modifiche apportate a componenti software, hardware e firmware, sistemi o parametri di sicurezza, che adottano un approccio basato sulla valutazione del rischio e sono parte integrante del processo complessivo di gestione delle modifiche dell’entità finanziaria, in modo che tutte le modifiche apportate ai sistemi di TIC siano registrate, testate, valutate, approvate, attuate e verificate in maniera controllata;

f)

si dotano di politiche documentate, idonee ed esaustive in materia di correzioni ed aggiornamenti.

Ai fini della lettera b) del primo comma, le entità finanziarie progettano l’infrastruttura di connessione di rete in modo che sia possibile isolarla o segmentarla istantaneamente, al fine di ridurre al minimo e prevenire il contagio, soprattutto per i processi finanziari interconnessi.

Ai fini della lettera e) del primo comma, il processo di gestione delle modifiche delle TIC è approvato da linee di gestione adeguate e comprende protocolli specifici in essere.

  • 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/
