16.11: Leverage Vetted Modules or Services for Application Security Components

Oh no! No description found. But not to worry. Read from Tasks below how to advance this topic.

Leverage vetted modules or services for application security components, such as identity
management, encryption, and auditing and logging. Using platform features in critical security
functions will reduce developers’ workload and minimize the likelihood of design or implementation
errors. Modern operating systems provide effective mechanisms for identification, authentication,
and authorization and make those mechanisms available to applications. Use only standardized,
currently accepted, and extensively reviewed encryption algorithms. Operating systems also provide
mechanisms to create and maintain secure audit logs.

The ISMS component hierachy

When building an ISMS, it's important to understand the different levels of information hierarchy. Here's how Cyberday is structured.

Framework

Sets the overall compliance standard or regulation your organization needs to follow.

Requirements

Break down the framework into specific obligations that must be met.

Tasks

Concrete actions and activities your team carries out to satisfy each requirement.

Policies

Documented rules and practices that are created and maintained as a result of completing tasks.

Never duplicate effort. Do it once - improve compliance across frameworks.

Reach multi-framework compliance in the simplest possible way
Security frameworks tend to share the same core requirements - like risk management, backup, malware, personnel awareness or access management.
Cyberday maps all frameworks’ requirements into shared tasks - one single plan that improves all frameworks’ compliance.
Do it once - we automatically apply it to all current and future frameworks.
