4.1.2: Security of authentication

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

Objective: Only securely identified (authenticated) users are to gain access to IT systems. For this purpose, the identity of a user is securely determined by suitable procedures.

Requirements (must): The procedures for user authentication have been selected based on a risk assessment. Possible attack scenarios have been considered (e.g. direct accessibility via the internet).
State of the art procedures for user authentication are applied.

Requirements (should): The user authentication procedures are defined and implemented based on the business-related and security-relevant requirements:
- Users are authenticated at least by means of strong passwords according to the state of the art.
Superior procedures are used for the authentication of privileged user accounts (e.g. Privileged Access Management, two-factor authentication).

This requirement is part of the framework:

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.
