Artikolu 12 2.

Il-proċeduri, il-protokolli, u l-għodod tar-reġistrazzjoni msemmija fil-paragrafu 1 għandhom jinkludu dawn kollha li ġejjin:

(a) 

l-identifikazzjoni tal-avvenimenti li għandhom jiġu rreġistrati, il-perjodu ta’ żamma tar-reġistri, u l-miżuri biex tiġi żgurata u mmaniġġjata d-data tar-reġistri, filwaqt li jitqies l-iskop li għalih jinħolqu r-reġistri;

(b) 

l-allinjament tal-livell ta’ dettall tar-reġistri mal-iskop u l-użu tagħhom biex tkun tista’ ssir id-detezzjoni effettiva ta’ attivitajiet anomali kif imsemmi fl-Artikolu 24;

(c) 

ir-rekwiżit li jiġu rreġistrati l-avvenimenti relatati ma’ dawn kollha li ġejjin:

(i) 

il-kontroll loġiku u fiżiku tal-aċċess, kif imsemmi fl-Artikolu 21, u l-ġestjoni tal-identità;

(ii) 

il-ġestjoni tal-kapaċità;

(iii) 

il-ġestjoni tat-tibdil;

(iv) 

l-operazzjonijiet tal-ICT, inklużi attivitajiet tas-sistema tal-ICT;

(v) 

l-attivitajiet tat-traffiku tan-network, inkluża l-prestazzjoni tan-network tal-ICT;

(d) 

miżuri għall-protezzjoni ta’ sistemi ta’ reġistrazzjoni u ta’ informazzjoni tar-reġistru minn tbagħbis, tħassir u aċċess mhux awtorizzat waqt li jkunu wieqfa, fi tranżitu, u, meta rilevanti, waqt l-użu;

(e) 

miżuri biex jiġi individwat falliment tas-sistemi ta’ reġistrazzjoni;

(f) 

mingħajr preġudizzju għal kwalunkwe rekwiżit regolatorju applikabbli skont id-dritt tal-Unjoni jew id-dritt nazzjonali, is-sinkronizzazzjoni tal-arloġġi ta’ kull waħda mis-sistemi tal-ICT tal-entità finanzjarja fuq sors tal-ħin ta’ referenza affidabbli ddokumentat.

Għall-finijiet tal-punt (a), l-entitajiet finanzjarji għandhom jistabbilixxu l-perjodu ta’ żamma, filwaqt li jqisu l-objettivi tas-sigurtà tan-negozju u tal-informazzjoni, ir-raġuni għar-reġistrazzjoni tal-avveniment fir-reġistri u r-riżultati tal-valutazzjoni tar-riskju tal-ICT.

Standards
NOREA Security Monitoring (SIEM)

Put in place mechanisms to detect anomalous activities, including network performance issues, incidents (reported by the third-parties in the services that they provide), and potential material single points of failure. The mechanisms shall enable multi-layers of control, define alerting thresholds, monitoring on specific events and criteria to automatically trigger incident response. Identify and implement tools generating alerts of anomalous activities and behaviour, at least for ICT assets and information assets supporting critical or important functions. Devote sufficient resources to detection and monitoring activities, especially to cybersecurity attacks.
NOREA Event Identification for Logging

Identify events to be logged, covering logical access, physical access, identity management, capacity management, change management, ICT operation (including system activity), and network traffic activities (including network performance). Determine the level of detail for the logs, aligning with the purpose for which the logs were created and to enable effective detection of anomalous activities. Define retention periods for logs, considering business and security objectives, the purpose of recording logs, and risk assessments.

*Data reporting service providers shall, in addition, have in place systems that can effectively check trade reports for completeness, identify omissions and obvious errors, and request re-transmission of those reports.
NOREA Secure Handling of Log Data
Implement measures to secure and handle log data, taking into account the purpose for which the logs were created. Establish measures to detect failures in logging systems. Protect the recording of anomalous activities against tampering and unauthorised access at rest, in use, where relevant, and in transit.
NOREA Error Handling and Recovery
Establish guidelines for handling errors, including support and escalation contacts, as well as external support contacts in case of unexpected operational or technical issues. Define the procedures for ICT system restart, rollback, and recovery to be used in the event of an ICT system disruption. Ensure the contact details are available in case systems are unavailable as well.
NOREA ICT Monitoring

Develop, document and implement capacity and performance management procedures to identify capacity requirements of their ICT systems and apply resource optimisation and monitoring procedures to maintain and improve the availability of data and ICT systems and efficiency of ICT systems and prevent ICT capacity shortages.
NOREA Clock Synchronization Standardization

Ensure clock synchronization of all ICT systems to a single reliable reference source time.
NOREA System Management and Security

Provide system descriptions that encompass secure installation, maintenance, configuration, and deinstallation/disposal of ICT assets. This includes the management of assets, both automated and manual, and the identification and control of legacy ICT systems.
