2.3.5: Verify that activated security configurations comply with the organisation’s approved security configurations

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

Verify that activated security configurations comply with the organisation’s approved security configurations. a) Regularly compare activated configurations on system components such as network equipment, firewalls, clients and servers with the approved/authorised configuration defined for each type of device across the organisation. b) Any unauthorised changes to the configuration should be investigated, reported and acted on. c) The approved/authorised configuration should be integrity-protected. Only IT and information security staff should have access to the configuration. d) Automate the verification process insofar as possible and run automated processes regularly, e.g. every night.

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.
