-

1. Prehľad

,
Článok 27 1

1.   Finančné subjekty využívajú na vykonávanie TLPT iba testovacie subjekty, ktoré:

a)

sú najvhodnejšie a najuznávanejšie;

b)

disponujú technickými a organizačnými spôsobilosťami a preukazujú osobitné odborné znalosti v oblasti spravodajských informácií o hrozbách, penetračného testovania a testovania prostredníctvom červeného tímu;

c)

sú certifikované akreditačným orgánom v členskom štáte alebo dodržiavajú formálne kódexy správania alebo etické rámce;

d)

poskytujú nezávislé uistenie alebo audítorskú správu v súvislosti so správnym riadením rizík spojených s vykonávaním TLPT vrátane náležitej ochrany dôverných informácií finančného subjektu a nápravy obchodných rizík finančného subjektu;

e)

sú riadne a v plnom rozsahu kryté príslušnými poisteniami zodpovednosti za škodu spôsobenú pri výkone povolania, a to aj pre prípad pochybenia a nedbanlivosti.
Článok 27 2

2.   Ak využívajú interné testovacie subjekty, finančné subjekty musia zabezpečiť, aby okrem požiadaviek v odseku 1, boli splnené aj tieto podmienky:

a)

takéto využitie schválil relevantný príslušný orgán alebo jeden verejný orgán určený v súlade s článkom 26 ods. 9 a 10;

b)

relevantný príslušný orgán overil, že finančný subjekt má dostatočné vyčlenené zdroje a zabezpečil, aby sa vo fáze navrhovania a vykonávania testu zabránilo konfliktom záujmov, a

c)

poskytovateľ spravodajských informácií o hrozbách je vo vzťahu k finančnému subjektu externým subjektom.
Článok 27 3

3.   Finančné subjekty zabezpečia, aby sa v zmluvách uzavretých s externými testovacími subjektmi vyžadovalo správne riadenie výsledkov TLPT a aby akékoľvek spracúvanie z toho vyplývajúcich údajov vrátane akéhokoľvek generovania, uchovávania, agregácie, navrhovania, podávania správ, komunikácie alebo likvidácie nevytváralo pre finančný subjekt riziká.

SCF Independent Penetration Agent or Team

Description

Mechanisms exist to utilize an independent assessor or penetration team to perform penetration testing.

Possible Solutions & Considerations

Micro-Small Business (<10 staff) / BLS Firm Size Classes 1-2

∙ Note: Typically not required at this size; use independent third party when penetration testing is required

Small Business (10-49 staff) / BLS Firm Size Classes 3-4

∙ Independent third-party penetration tester (not the internal IT team or MSP that built the environment)

Medium Business (50-249 staff) / BLS Firm Size Classes 5-6

∙ Third-party independent penetration testing

Large Business (250-999 staff) / BLS Firm Size Classes 7-8

∙ Enterprise independent penetration testing program (qualified third-party testers)

Enterprise (> 1,000 staff) / BLS Firm Size Class 9

∙ Enterprise independent pen testing program
∙ Qualified third-party pen test teams
∙ Annual and ad-hoc testing
∙ Full red team exercises

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

Vulnerability & Patch Management (VPM) domain capabilities are ad hoc and inconsistent. Capability criteria associated with this control may include:
▪ Policies, standards & procedures associated with VPM domain capabilities provide limited coverage due to the depth and breadth of the existing documentation.
▪ Attack Surface Management (ASM)-related activities are decentralized (e.g., a localized/regionalized function) and uses non-standardized methods to implement secure, resilient and compliant practices.

Level 2 Planned Tracked

Vulnerability & Patch Management (VPM) 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 VPM domain capabilities are formally documented and centrally-managed by the entity.
▪ Standardized Operating Procedures (SOP) associated with VPM 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 VPM domain capabilities to address applicable statutory, regulatory and/or contractual requirements for Technology Assets, Applications, Services and/or Data (TAASD).
▪ Vulnerability management-related controls are primarily administrative and preventative in nature (e.g., policies, standards and procedures & guidelines).
▪ Vulnerability management may be a defined function (e.g., team or department) or assigned as an additional duty to existing IT and/or cybersecurity personnel.
▪ IT and/or cybersecurity personnel, or contracted professionals, use red team exercises to simulate attempts by adversaries to compromise TAASD in accordance with entity-defined rules of engagement.

Level 3 Well Defined

Vulnerability & Patch Management (VPM) 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 VPM 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 VPM domain capabilities are well-documented and kept current by process owners.
▪ A vulnerability management team, or similar function, is appropriately staffed and supported to implement and maintain VPM domain capabilities.
▪ Technology is leveraged to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of vulnerability management operations (e.g., patch management solution and vulnerability scanning 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 VPM 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 utilize an independent assessor or penetration team to perform penetration testing.

Level 4 Quantitatively Controlled

Vulnerability & Patch Management (VPM) 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.
