1.6.1: Reporting of security events

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

Objective: Potential security events or observations are detected by anyone. It is vital that anyone can and knows when and how to report anything that one has observed and that has potential security implications (observations) or events so that the experts can decide if and how it needs to be handled.

Requirements (must): "+ A definition for a reportable security event or observation exists and is known by employees and relevant stakeholders. The following aspects are considered:
- Events and observations related to personnel (e.g., misconduct / misbehaviour)
- Events and observations related to physical security (e.g., intrusion, theft, unauthorized access to security zones, vulnerabilities in the security zones)
- Events and observations related to IT and cyber security (e.g., vulnerable IT-systems, detected successful or unsuccessful attacks)
- Events and observations related to suppliers and other business partners (e.g., any incidents that can have negative effect on the security of own organization)
Adequate mechanisms based on perceived risks to report security events are defined, implemented, and known to all relevant potential reporters
Adequate channels for communication with event reporters exist.

Requirements (should): A common point of contact for event reporting exists.
Different reporting channels according to perceived severity exist (i.e., real time communication for significant events / emergencies in addition to asynchronous mechanisms such as tickets or email) are available.
Employees are obliged and trained to report relevant events.
Security event reports from external parties are considered.
- An externally accessible way to report security events exists and is communicated,
- Reaction to security event reports from external parties are defined
Mechanism to - and information how to - report incidents is accessible by all relevant reporters.
A feedback procedure to reporters is established.

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.
