Control ID | Name | Description |
---|---|---|
B2.c | Privileged User Management | You closely manage privileged user access to networks and information systems supporting the essential function. |
B2.b | Device Management | You fully know and have trust in the devices that are used to access your networks, information systems and data that support your essential function. |
A4.a | Supply Chain | The organisation understands and manages security risks to networks and information systems supporting the operation of essential functions that arise as a result of dependencies on external suppliers. This includes ensuring that appropriate measures are employed where third party services are used. |
B4.a | Secure by Design | You design security into the network and information systems that support the operation of essential functions. You minimise their attack surface and ensure that the operation of the essential function should not be impacted by the exploitation of any single vulnerability. |
C1.a | Monitoring Coverage | The data sources that you include in your monitoring allow for timely identification of security events which might affect the operation of your essential function. |
