2.6.4: Minimise privileges for end users and special users

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

Minimise privileges for end users and special users. a) Do not assign administrator privileges to end users. b) Manage special users (e.g. developers) who may exceptionally need extended system privileges, including administrative privileges. Each special user should have two separate accounts: one for ordinary office use such as email and internet searches, and one for tasks requiring elevated privileges. There should be adequate security barriers between these two accounts and, as an absolute minimum, they must not have the same password.

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.
