ISO 27001 Annex : A.12.3 Backup

-

 

ISO 27001 Annex : A.12.3 Backup Its objective is to safeguard against data loss.

A.12.3.1  Information backup

Control- In accordance with the agreed backup policy copies of records, program and device images shall be collected and regularly tested

Implementation Guidance – The organization’s information, software, and systems backup requirements should be established with a backup policy. The policy of backup should define the requirements for retention and protection. There should be sufficient backup facilities to ensure that all important information and software can be recovered after a disaster or media failure.

The following things should be considered when designing a backup plan:

  1. Precise and full backup records should be prepared as well as recorded restoration procedures;
  2. The nature and frequency of the backup (e.g., full or differential backups) should reflect the company’s business requirements, security requirements for the information involved and criticality to the continued operation of the organization;
  3. Backups should be held at a remote location at a distance sufficient to prevent any damage at most locations due to a disaster;
  4. The appropriate level of physical and environmental protection should be given backup information (Refer clause 11) in accordance with the standards at the main site;
  5. The backup medium should be tested regularly to ensure that they can be used for emergency use if required; combined with the restore procedures test and controlled for the required restore time. The check should not be carried out with overwriting of the original medium if the backup or restore process fails and cause irreparable data damage or loss;
  6. Backups should be secured by encryption in cases where confidentiality is the concern.

“By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail”
-Benjamin Franklin

Operating procedures should monitor backup performance and address planned backup failures to ensure that the backups are complete according to the backup policy.

Backup procedures should be reviewed on a regular basis for specific systems and facilities to ensure they meet the criteria of business continuity plans. In essential systems and facilities, all computer information, software, and data required to restore the entire network during the event of a disaster should be protected by backup arrangements.

The preservation period should be set, taking into account any conditions for permanent retention of archive copies.

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...
