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

Human Resources Security (HRS) domain capabilities are ad hoc and inconsistent. Capability criteria associated with this control may include:
▪ Policies, standards & procedures associated with HRS domain capabilities provide limited coverage due to the depth and breadth of the existing documentation.
▪ Personnel management-related activities are decentralized (e.g., a localized/regionalized function) and uses non-standardized methods to implement secure, resilient and compliant practices.
▪ The Human Resources (HR) department provides guidance on secure HR practices for hiring, retaining and terminating employees, contractors and other personnel that work on behalf of the organization.

Level 2 Planned Tracked

Human Resources Security (HRS) 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 HRS domain capabilities are formally documented and centrally-managed by the entity.
▪ Standardized Operating Procedures (SOP) associated with HRS 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 HRS domain capabilities to address applicable statutory, regulatory and/or contractual requirements for Technology Assets, Applications, Services and/or Data (TAASD).
▪ Personnel management-related controls are primarily administrative and preventative in nature (e.g., policies, standards and procedures & guidelines).
▪ Personnel management is decentralized at a localized/regionalized function, where there are non-standardized methods to govern personnel matters across the organization.
▪ Localized HR practices are implemented for hiring, managing, training, investigating and terminating employees, contractors and other personnel that work on behalf of the organization.
▪ The HR department, in conjunction with IT and/or cybersecurity personnel, implements and maintains Separation of Duties (SoD) to prevent potential malevolent activity without collusion.

Level 3 Well Defined

Human Resources Security (HRS) 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 HRS 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 HRS domain capabilities are well-documented and kept current by process owners.
▪ A Human Resources (HR) team, or similar function, is appropriately staffed and supported to implement and maintain HRS domain capabilities.
▪ Technology is leveraged to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of human resources security operations (e.g., personnel management software 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 HRS 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 implement and maintain Separation of Duties (SoD) to prevent potential inappropriate activity without collusion.

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.

Piekļuves kontrole

Kā daļu no savas piekļuves pārvaldības tiesību kontroles finanšu vienības izstrādā, dokumentē un īsteno politiku, kas ietver visus no šiem elementiem:

a) 

IKT piekļuves tiesību piešķiršana, pamatojoties uz principiem “vajadzība zināt”, “vajadzība izmantot” un mazāko tiesību principu, arī attiecībā uz attālu piekļuvi un piekļuvi ārkārtas gadījumā;

b) 

uzdevumu nošķiršana, lai novērstu nepamatotu piekļuvi kritiski svarīgiem datiem vai novērstu tādu piekļuves tiesību kombināciju piešķiršanu, ko var izmantot kontroļu apiešanai;

c) 

noteikums par lietotāja pārskatatbildību, ciktāl iespējams, ierobežojot vispārējo un dalīto lietotāja kontu izmantošanu un nodrošinot, ka lietotāji vienmēr ir identificējami attiecībā uz darbībām, kas veiktas IKT sistēmās;

d) 

noteikums par ierobežojumiem piekļuvei IKT aktīviem, izklāstot kontroles un rīkus neatļautas piekļuves novēršanai;

e) 

kontu pārvaldības procedūras, lai piešķirtu, mainītu vai atsauktu piekļuves tiesības lietotāju un vispārējiem kontiem, tajā skaitā vispārējiem administratoru kontiem, ietverot noteikumu par visu turpmāk minēto:

i) 

uzdevumu un atbildības piešķiršana par piekļuves tiesību piešķiršanu, pārskatīšanu un atsaukšanu;

ii) 

privileģētas, ārkārtas un administratora piekļuves piešķiršana, pamatojoties uz vajadzību zināt vai uz ad hoc pamata, attiecībā uz visām IKT sistēmām;

iii) 

piekļuves tiesību tūlītēja atsaukšana darba attiecību izbeigšanas gadījumā vai ja piekļuve vairs nav nepieciešama;

iv) 

piekļuves tiesību atjaunināšana, kad ir nepieciešamas izmaiņas un vismaz gadā attiecībā uz visām IKT sistēmām, izņemot IKT sistēmas, kas atbalsta kritiskas vai svarīgas funkcijas, un vismaz reizi sešos mēnešos attiecībā uz IKT sistēmām, kas atbalsta kritiskas vai svarīgas funkcijas;

f) 

autentifikācijas metodes, ietverot visus šos elementus:

i) 

autentifikācijas metožu izmantošana, kas ir samērīga ar klasifikāciju, kura noteikta saskaņā ar Regulas (ES) 2022/2554 8. panta 1. punktu, un ar IKT aktīvu vispārējo riska profilu, arī ņemot vērā paraugpraksi;

ii) 

spēcīgu autentifikācijas metožu izmantošana saskaņā ar paraugpraksi un metodēm attiecībā uz attālu piekļuvi finanšu vienības tīklam, privileģētu piekļuvi, piekļuvi IKT aktīviem, kas atbalsta kritiskas vai svarīgas funkcijas, vai IKT aktīviem, kas ir publiski pieejami;

g) 

fiziskās piekļuves kontroles pasākumi, tajā skaitā:

i) 

to fizisko personu identifikācija un reģistrēšana žurnālā, kurām ir atļauts piekļūt telpām, datu centriem un finanšu vienības par sensitīvām noteiktām vietām, kur atrodas IKT un informācijas aktīvi;

ii) 

fiziskās piekļuves kritiskiem IKT aktīviem piešķiršana tikai pilnvarotām personām saskaņā ar principu “vajadzība zināt” un mazāko tiesību principu un uz ad hoc pamata;

iii) 

uzraudzība attiecībā uz fizisko piekļuvi telpām, datu centriem un finanšu vienības par sensitīvām noteiktām vietām, kur atrodas IKT un informācijas aktīvi, vai abi;

iv) 

fiziskās piekļuves tiesību pārskatīšana, lai nodrošinātu, ka nevajadzīgas piekļuves tiesības tiek steidzīgi atsauktas.

Šā punkta e) apakšpunkta i) punkta nolūkos finanšu vienības nosaka glabāšanas periodu, ņemot vērā darbības un informācijas drošības mērķus, iemeslus, kādēļ notikums tiek reģistrēts žurnālos, un IKT riska novērtējuma rezultātus.

Šā punkta e) apakšpunkta ii) punkta nolūkos finanšu vienības, ja iespējams, izmanto speciālus kontus administratīvu uzdevumu veikšanai IKT sistēmās. Ja tas ir iespējams un atbilstoši, finanšu vienības ievieš automatizētus risinājumus privileģētas piekļuves pārvaldībai.

Šā punkta g) apakšpunkta i) punkta nolūkos identifikācija un reģistrēšana žurnālos ir samērīga ar telpu, datu centru, par sensitīvām noteikto vietu svarīgumu un tajās notiekošo darbību vai esošo IKT sistēmu kritiskumu.

Šā punkta g) apakšpunkta iii) punkta nolūkos uzraudzība ir samērīga ar klasifikāciju, kas noteikta saskaņā ar Regulas (ES) 2022/2554 8. panta 1. punktu, un vietas, kurai piekļūst, kritiskumu.

    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/
