Control ID Name Description
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.
B4.c Secure Management You manage your organisation's network and information systems that support the operation of essential functions to enable and maintain security.
B4.d Vulnerability Management You manage known vulnerabilities in your network and information systems to prevent adverse impact on the essential function.
B3.b Data in Transit You have protected the transit of data important to the operation of the essential function. This includes the transfer of data to third parties.
B4.b Secure Configuration You securely configure the network and information systems that support the operation of essential functions.
