ISO 27001 Clause 5.3 and Clause 7.1 Resources and Roles & Responsibility

-

Organizational roles, responsibilities and authorities

Required activity

Top management ensures that responsibilities and authorities for roles relevant to information security are assigned and communicated throughout the organization.

Implementation Guideline

Top management ensures that roles and responsibilities also because the necessary authorities relevant to information security are assigned and communicated. The purpose of this requirement is to assign responsibilities and authorities to make sure conformance of the ISMS with the wants of ISO/IEC 27001, and to make sure reporting on the performance of the ISMS to the highest management.
Top management should regularly make sure that the responsibilities and authorities for the ISMS are assigned in order that the management system fulfils the wants stated in ISO/IEC 27001. Top management doesn’t get to assign all roles, responsibilities and authorities, but it should adequately delegate authority to do this. Top management should approve major roles, responsibilities and authorities of the ISMS. Responsibilities and authorities associated with information security activities should be assigned.
Activities include:
a) Coordinating the establishment, implementation, maintenance, performance reporting, and improvement of the ISMS;
b) Advising on information security risk assessment and treatment;
c) Designing information security processes and systems;
d) Setting standards concerning determination, configuration and operation of data security controls;
e) Managing information security incidents; and
f) Reviewing and auditing the ISMS.
Beyond the roles specifically associated with information security, relevant information security responsibilities and authorities should be included within other roles.
For instance , information security responsibilities are often incorporated within the roles of:
a) Information owners;
b) Process owners;
c) Asset owners (e.g. application or infrastructure owners);
d) Risk owners;
e) Information security coordinating functions or persons (this particular role is generally a supporting role within the ISMS);
f) Project managers;
g) Line managers;
h) Information users.

Resources

Required activity

The organization determines and provides the resources for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving the ISMS.

Implementation Guideline

Resources are fundamental to perform any quite activity. Categories of resources can include:
a) persons to drive and operate the activities;
b) time to perform activities and time to permit results to calm down before making a replacement step;
c) financial resources to accumulate, develop and implement what’s needed;
d) information to support decisions, measure performance of actions, and improve knowledge; and
e) infrastructure and other means are often acquired or built, like technology, tools and materials, no matter whether or not they are products of data technology or not.
These resources are to be kept aligned with the requirements of the ISMS and hence are to be adapted when required.

What is Penetration testing ?

-
Image
Penetration testing is a method of evaluating the security of an information system or network by simulating an attack to find out vulnerabilities that an attacker could exploit. Penetration test (or "pen-testing") exposes the gaps in the security model of an organization and helps organizations reach a balance between technical prowess and business functionality from the perspective of potential security breaches. This can help in disaster recovery and business continuity planning. It simulates methods used by intruders to gain unauthorized access to an organization's networked systems and then compromise them and involves using proprietary and open-source tools to conduct the test. Apart from automated techniques, penetration testing involves manual techniques for conducting targeted testing on specific systems to ensure that there are no security flaws that previously might have gone undetected. In the context of penetration testing, the tester is limited by resource...

Types of Vulnerability Assessment

-
Image
Given below are the different types of vulnerability assessments:   Active Assessment Active assessments are a type of vulnerability assessment that uses network scanners to scan the network to identify the hosts, services, and vulnerabilities present in that network. Active network scanners have the capability to reduce the intrusiveness of the checks they perform.   Passive Assessment Passive assessments sniff the traffic present on the network to identify the active systems, network services, applications, and vulnerabilities. Passive assessments also provide a list of the users who are a recently using the network. External Assessment External assessment assesses the network from a hacker's point of view to find out what exploits and vulnerabilities are accessible to the outside world. These types of assessments use external devices such as firewalls, routers, and servers. An external assessment estimates the threat of network security atta...
