PR.AC-3: Remote access is managed.

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

The organisation's wireless access points shall be secured.
Guidance
Consider the following when wireless networking is used:
- Change the administrative password upon installation of a wireless access points.
- Set the wireless access point so that it does not broadcast its Service Set Identifier (SSID).
- Set your router to use at least WiFi Protected Access (WPA-2 or WPA-3 where possible), with the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for encryption.
- Ensure that wireless internet access to customers is separated from your business network.
- Connecting to unknown or unsecured / guest wireless access points, should be avoided, and if unavoidable done through an encrypted virtual private network (VPN) capability.
- Manage all endpoint devices (fixed and mobile) according to the organization's security policies.

Usage restrictions, connection requirements, implementation guidance, and authorizations
for remote access to the organization’s critical systems environment shall be identified, documented, and implemented.
Guidance
Consider the following:
- Remote access methods include, for example, wireless, broadband, Virtual Private Network (VPN) connections, mobile device connections, and communications through external networks.
- Login credentials should be in line with company's user authentication policies.
- Remote access for support activities or maintenance of organizational assets should be approved, logged, and performed in a manner that prevents unauthorized access.
- The user should be made aware of any remote connection to its device by a visual indication.

Remote access to the organization’s critical systems shall be monitored and cryptographic mechanisms shall be implemented where determined necessary.
Guidance
This should include that only authorized use of privileged functions from remote access is allowed.

The organization's networks when accessed remotely shall be secured, including through multi-factor authentication (MFA).
Guidance
Enforce MFA (e.g. 2FA) on Internet-facing systems, such as email, remote desktop, and Virtual Private Network (VPNs).

The security of connections with external systems shall be verified and framed by documented agreements.
Guidance
Access from pre-defined IP addresses could be considered.

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.
