2.6.3: Use a centralised tool to manage accounts, access rights and privileges

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

Use a centralised tool to manage accounts, access rights and privileges. a) Ideally, one should manage accounts, access rights and privileges for as many of the organisation’s resources as possible (cf. 2.6.2.a) using just a single tool for the entire organisation. b) Use the tool to keep track of all accounts, access rights and privileges. The tool should be able to perform as many of the tasks described in 2.6.1 as possible. c) When creating individual accounts (e.g. for contractors), one should set preliminary dates for deactivation. d) Deactivate or delete accounts that have not been used for a while (possibly with the exception of supplier maintenance accounts, for example). e) Use a centralised tool to check password quality against the organisation’s security requirements. As a minimum, avoid using common words and names in Norwegian and English as well as years and seasons.

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.
