Audited security expands the basics covered by Core security and advanced controls covered by Extended security.
Below you'll find all of the requirements of this framework. In Cyberday, we map all requirement to global tasks, making multi-compliance management easy. Do it once, and see the progress across all frameworks!
Organizations need to monitor their resources and make changes to match what they need. This helps them to have enough resources e.g. information processing facilities, human resources, offices, and other facilities, considering the business criticality of the relevant systems and processes. It's good to have early detection systems, so projections for future capacity can align with e.g. business growth and technology trends.




Protection against malware should be ensured to safeguard information and associated assets. This involves utilizing malware detection and repair software, coupled with user awareness and appropriate controls. This can be done by e.g. implementing rules to prevent unauthorized software usage, reducing vulnerabilities and conducting regular scans for malware. Also configuring malware detection tools based on risk assessments and protecting against malware during maintenance.
































To prevent exploitation of technical vulnerabilities, organizations should proactively identify, evaluate, and address potential vulnerabilities in their information systems. This can be done for example by maintaining an accurate inventory of assets, including software versions and responsible personnel and utilising various resources to identify vulnerabilities, such as vulnerability scanning tools and penetration tests.
































The organization must establish and implement processes and tools to enforce configurations, especially security configurations, across hardware, software, services, and networks for both new and operational systems. Goal is to guarantee the proper functioning of hardware, software, services, and networks while maintaining necessary security configurations, and to prevent unauthorized or erroneous alterations to configurations.












Organization needs to make sure information is deleted when it's no longer needed from systems, devices, or storage. This helps protect sensitive data and meets legal, regulatory, and contract rules for information removal. When third parties store an organization's information, the organization should incorporate information deletion requirements into agreements, ensuring enforcement during and after service termination.








Organization should use data masking according to the organization's policies and business needs. This helps safeguard sensitive data, including Personally Identifiable Information (PII), and ensures compliance with legal and contractual requirements. Data masking can be done by e.g. encryption, nulling or deleting characters to prevent unauthorized users from seeing full messages and replacing values with their hash.












Organization should implement measures to prevent data leakage on systems, networks, and devices handling sensitive information. These measures aim to identify and stop unauthorized individuals or systems from disclosing or extracting sensitive data.
Implementing data leakage prevention can involve monitoring personnel's communications, including external party messages. Legal considerations must be addressed before deploying such tools.




















Organization should ensure that backup copies of information, software, and systems are regularly maintained and tested, according to established policy on backups. This practice is important for recovering data or systems in case of loss. Organization should develop and implement plans for backing up information, software, and systems, considering factors such as business requirements, physical and environmental protection and regular testing.




















Organization needs to make sure there are backup systems in place for information processing to meet availability needs and keep operations running. The organization needs to plan and set up procedures for using redundant parts and facilities. Procedures should determine whether the redundant parts are always active or are activated automatically or manually in emergencies. It's important that redundant parts and facilities have the same level of security as the primary ones.
















Logs recording various events must be created, stored, protected, and analyzed to e.g. generate evidence and identify potential security incidents. The organization should establish a dedicated logging policy outlining log purposes, collected data, and protection requirements. Event logs should encompass user IDs, system activities, event timestamps, device/system identifiers, and network details.
























Networks, systems, and applications must undergo continuous monitoring to detect any abnormal behavior and promptly address potential information security incidents. The scope and intensity of monitoring should align with business and security needs, while also adhering to relevant laws and regulations. Components to monitoring system can include analysis of inbound and outbound traffic across networks, systems, and applications and examining event logs related to system and network activities.












The organization should synchronize the clocks of its information processing systems with approved time sources to facilitate event correlation, data analysis, and incident investigations. A standard reference time should be established and applied consistently across all systems, including building management and access control systems, to support investigations effectively.




Organisation should limit and closely control the use of utility programs that can override system and application controls. This is to prevent any potential harm to information security controls caused by the use of such utility programs. Guidelines include limiting access to trusted users, implementing identification and authentication procedures, documenting authorization levels, and authorizing ad hoc usage.




Secure procedures and measures must be in place for installing software on operational systems. This safeguards the integrity of the systems and prevents the exploitation of technical vulnerabilities. Secure management of changes and software installations can include authorized updates by trained administrators with appropriate management approval, extensive testing before installing or updating software and establishing a rollback strategy prior to implementing changes.
















To protect information within networks and supporting systems, it's crucial to secure, manage, and control networks and network devices effectively. This involves implementing various controls to ensure the security of information passing over networks and to safeguard connected services from unauthorized access. Key considerations include defining responsibilities for network management, maintaining up-to-date documentation of network configurations, and implementing controls to protect data confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
















To ensure the security of network services, organizations should identify, implement, and monitor security mechanisms, service levels, and requirements. This involves identifying the necessary security measures for specific services, such as authentication, encryption, and access controls, and ensuring their implementation by internal or external service providers. The organization should assess the service provider's ability to manage services securely and establish the right to audit their operations.
