-

In this article ISO 27001 Annex : A.9.2.5 Review of User Access Rights & A.9.2.6 Removal or Adjustment of Access Rights these two topic has been explained.
A.9.2.5 Review of User Access Rights
Control- Access rights of users should be reviewed regularly by asset owners.
Implementation Guidance- The following should be considered while reviewing the access rights:-
  1. Access rights of users should be reviewed at regular intervals and after any changes, such as promotion, demotion or job termination;
  2. User access rights for moving from one role to another within the same organization should be reviewed and re-allocated;
  3. The privileged access rights authorizations should be reviewed frequently
  4. The allocation of access rights should be regularly reviewed to ensure that unauthorized privileges are not obtained;
  5. Regular reviews should be registered for changes to privileged accounts.
Other Information- This control probably accounts for potential weaknesses in the execution of the 9.2.1, 9.2.2 and 9.2.6 controls.
A.9.2.6 Removal or Adjustment of Access Rights
Control- Access rights of all employees and external users to information and information processing facilities should be waived upon termination of jobs, contract or agreement, or changed upon adjustment.
Implementation Guidance- Upon termination, an individual’s access rights to information and assets associated with the facilities and services for information processing should be removed or suspended. Whether access rights should be removed will be determined. Changes in employment should be reflected in removing all access rights which have not been approved for the new job. The access rights which should be removed or adjusted include the physical and logical access rights. The removal or adjustment of keys, identification cards, information processing facilities, or subscriptions may be done by removal, revocation, or replacement. Any documentation identifying employees and contractors’ access rights should reflect removal or adjustment of access rights. If a departing employee or external user has identified passwords that are still active for user IDs, these should be updated after termination or change of job, contract, or agreement.
Access rights for information and assets related to information processing facilities should be restricted or withdrawn before the termination or change of jobs, based on the following risk factors :
  1. Whether termination or alteration is initiated by the employee, external user or management team, and the reason for termination;
  2. Current responsibilities of client, external user or some other user;
  3. Price of currently available assets.
In the current era, it’s always advisable to limit and control access privileges. For an organization, it’s really important that its information assets and accessibility to those assets should always be protected. There should exist Access rights to particular users and should be reviewed regularly. Annex 9.2 covers the guidelines and implementation of controls to safeguard data getting accessed by unauthorized users or to users who are departed from the organization. Infosavvy, training institute in Mumbai provides certification for IRCA CQI ISO 27001:2013 Lead Auditor (LA) and ISO 27001 Lead Implementer (LI) (TÜV SÜD Certification). This certification covers various controls that should be implemented in an organization to keep it away from destructors also trainers in Infosavy are well-skilled and experienced in providing proper guidance and knowledge for keeping the Information security management system secure.

In these cases, departing individuals should be excluded from all group access lists, and arrangements should be made to warn all other employees and external party users concerned not to share this information with the departing person.

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.

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...

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.

Passive assessments also provide a list of the users who are a recently using the network.

These types of assessments use external devices such as firewalls, routers, and servers. An external assessment estimates the threat of network security atta...
