Oh no! No description found. But not to worry. Read from Tasks below how to advance this topic.
Identities and credentials for authorized devices and users shall be managed.
Guidance
Identities and credentials for authorized devices and users could be managed through a password policy. A password policy is a set of rules designed to enhance ICT/OT security by encouraging organization’s to (Not limitative list and measures to be considered as appropriate):
- Change all default passwords.
- Ensure that no one works with administrator privileges for daily tasks.
- Keep a limited and updated list of system administrator accounts.
- Enforce password rules, e.g. passwords must be longer than a state-of-the-art number of characters with a combination of character types and changed periodically or when there is any suspicion of compromise.
- Use only individual accounts and never share passwords.
- Immediately disable unused accounts.
- Rights and privileges are managed by user groups.
Identities and credentials for authorized devices and users shall be managed, where feasible through automated mechanisms.
Guidance
- Automated mechanisms can help to support the management and auditing of information system credentials.
- Consider strong user authentication, meaning an authentication based on the use of at least two authentication factors from different categories of either knowledge (something only the user knows), possession (something only the user possesses) or inherence (something the user is) that are independent, in that the breach of one does not compromise the reliability of the others, and is designed in such a way to protect the confidentiality of the authentication data.
System credentials shall be deactivated after a specified period of inactivity unless it would compromise the safe operation of (critical) processes.
Guidance
- To guarantee the safe operation, service accounts should be used for running processes and services.
- Consider the use of a formal access procedure for external parties.
For transactions within the organization's critical systems, the organization shall implement:
- multi-factor end-user authentication (MFA or "strong authentication").
- certificate-based authentication for system-to-system communications.
Guidance
Consider the use of SSO (Single Sign On) in combination with MFA for the organization's internal and external critical systems.
The organization’s critical systems shall be monitored for atypical use of system credentials. Credentials associated with significant risk shall be disabled.
Guidance
- Consider limiting the number of failed login attempts by implementing automatic lockout.
- The locked account won’t be accessible until it has been reset or the account lockout duration elapses.
Identities and credentials for authorized devices and users shall be managed.

In Cyberday, requirements and controls are mapped to universal tasks. A set of tasks in the same topic create a Policy, such as this one.
In Cyberday, requirements and controls are mapped to universal tasks. Each requirement is fulfilled with one or multiple tasks.
When building an ISMS, it's important to understand the different levels of information hierarchy. Here's how Cyberday is structured.
Sets the overall compliance standard or regulation your organization needs to follow.
