2.1.4: Reduce the risk of targeted manipulation of ICT products in the supply chain

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

Reduce the risk of targeted manipulation of ICT products in the supply chain. a) Organisations should assess the risk of being exposed to such targeted attacks. b) Ask national resellers/importers to practise discretion and not divulge too much customer information, e.g. names of customers, how the product is used, where the product is being used. c) Protect the integrity of physical products (in consultation with national resellers/importers) at the earliest possible stage in the supplier chain. Products should be checked at every national stage of the chain (including by the customer before deployment) for broken seals and stored so that only a limited number of personnel have physical access. d) Software products should only be downloaded from the provider’s official website (only via https). The organisation should keep all installation software in file folders that only those responsible for software installation have write access to. e) When performing maintenance on ICT products, physical provider access should be regulated and monitored.

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.
