||||
# Purpose and Scope
|
||||
|
||||
a. The purpose of this policy is to define requirements for proper controls to protect the availability of the organization’s information systems.
|
||||
|
||||
a. This policy applies to all users of information systems within the organization. This typically includes employees and contractors, as well as any external parties that come into contact with systems and information controlled by the organization (hereinafter referred to as “users”). This policy must be made readily available to all users.
|
||||
|
||||
# Background
|
||||
|
||||
a. The intent of this policy is to minimize the amount of unexpected or unplanned downtime (also known as outages) of information systems under the organization’s control. This policy prescribes specific measures for the organization that will increase system redundancy, introduce failover mechanisms, and implement monitoring such that outages are prevented as much as possible. Where they cannot be prevented, outages will be quickly detected and remediated.
|
||||
|
||||
a. Within this policy, an availability is defined as a characteristic of information or information systems in which such information or systems can be accessed by authorized entities whenever needed.

# Policy
|
||||
|
||||
a. Information systems must be consistently available to conduct and support business operations.
|
||||
|
||||
a. Information systems must have a defined availability classification, with appropriate controls enabled and incorporated into development and production processes based on this classification.
|
||||
|
||||
a. System and network failures must be reported promptly to the organization’s lead for Information Technology (IT) or designated IT operations manager.
|
||||
|
||||
a. Users must be notified of scheduled outages (e.g., system maintenance) that require periods of downtime. This notification must specify the date and time of the system maintenance, expected duration, and anticipated system or service resumption time.
|
||||
|
||||
a. Prior to production use, each new or significantly modified application must have a completed risk assessment that includes availability risks. Risk assessments must be completed in accordance with the Risk Assessment Policy (reference (a)).
|
||||
|
||||
a. Capacity management and load balancing techniques must be used, as deemed necessary, to help minimize the risk and impact of system failures.
|
||||
|
||||
a. Information systems must have an appropriate data backup plan that ensures:
|
||||
|
||||
i. All sensitive data can be restored within a reasonable time period.
|
||||
|
||||
i. Full backups of critical resources are performed on at least a weekly basis.
|
||||
|
||||
i. Incremental backups for critical resources are performed on at least a daily basis.
|
||||
|
||||
i. Backups and associated media are maintained for a minimum of thirty (30) days and retained for at least one (1) year, or in accordance with legal and regulatory requirements.
|
||||
|
||||
i. Backups are stored off-site with multiple points of redundancy and protected using encryption and key management.
|
||||
|
||||
i. Tests of backup data must be conducted once per quarter. Tests of configurations must be conducted twice per year.
|
||||
|
||||
a. Information systems must have an appropriate redundancy and failover plan that meets the following criteria:
|
||||
|
||||
i. Network infrastructure that supports critical resources must have system-level redundancy (including but not limited to a secondary power supply, backup disk-array, and secondary computing system). Critical core components (including but not limited to routers, switches, and other devices linked to Service Level Agreements (SLAs)) must have an actively maintained spare. SLAs must require parts replacement within twenty-four (24) hours.
|
||||
|
||||
i. Servers that support critical resources must have redundant power supplies and network interface cards. All servers must have an actively maintained spare. SLAs must require parts replacement within twenty-four (24) hours.
|
||||
|
||||
i. Servers classified as high availability must use disk mirroring.
|
||||
|
||||
a. Information systems must have an appropriate business continuity plan that meets the following criteria:
|
||||
|
||||
i. Recovery time and data loss limits are defined in Table 3.
|
||||
|
||||
i. Recovery time requirements and data loss limits must be adhered to with specific documentation in the plan.
|
||||
|
||||
i. Company and/or external critical resources, personnel, and necessary corrective actions must be specifically identified.
|
||||
|
||||
i. Specific responsibilities and tasks for responding to emergencies and resuming business operations must be included in the plan.

||||
|
||||
a. This data classification policy defines the requirements to ensure that information within the organization is protected at an appropriate level.
|
||||
|
||||
a. This document applies to the entire scope of the organization’s information security program. It includes all types of information, regardless of its form, such as paper or electronic documents, applications and databases, and knowledge or information that is not written.
|
||||
|
||||
a. This policy applies to all individuals and systems that have access to information kept by the organization.
|
||||
|
||||
# Background
|
||||
|
||||

Table 3: Information Confidentiality Levels
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
d. Information must be classified based on confidentiality levels as defined in Table 3.
|
||||
|
||||
e. Information and information system owners should try to use the lowest confidentiality level that ensures an adequate level of protection, thereby avoiding unnecessary production costs.
|
||||
|
||||
f. Information classified as “Restricted” or “Confidential” must be accompanied by a list of authorized persons in which the information owner specifies the names or job functions of persons who have the right to access that information.
|
||||
|
||||
g. Information classified as “Internal Use” must be accompanied by a list of authorized persons only if individuals outside the organization will have access to the document.
|
||||
|
||||
h. Information and information system owners must review the confidentiality level of their information assets every five years and assess whether the confidentiality level should be changed. Wherever possible, confidentiality levels should be lowered.
|
||||
|
||||
a. For cloud-based software services provided to customers, system owners under the company’s control must also review the confidentiality level of their information systems after service agreement changes or after a customer’s formal notification. Where allowed by service agreements, confidentiality levels should be lowered.
|
||||
|
||||
a. Information must be labeled according to the following:
|
||||
|
||||
i. Paper documents: the confidentiality level is indicated on the top and bottom of each document page; it is also indicated on the front of the cover or envelope carrying such a document as well as on the filing folder in which the document is stored. If a document is not labeled, its default classification is Internal Use.
|
||||
|
||||
i. Electronic documents: the confidentiality level is indicated on the top and bottom of each document page. If a document is not labeled, its default classification is Internal Use.
|
||||
|
||||
i. Information systems: the confidentiality level in applications and databases must be indicated on the system access screen, as well as on the screen when displaying such information.
|
||||
|
||||
i. Electronic mail: the confidentiality level is indicated in the first line of the email body. If it is not labeled, its default classification is “Internal Use”.
|
||||
|
||||
i. Electronic storage media (disks, memory cards, etc.): the confidentiality level must be indicated on the top surface of the media. If it is not labeled, its default classification is “Internal Use”.
|
||||
|
||||
i. Information transmitted orally: the confidentiality level should be mentioned before discussing information during face-to-face communication, by telephone, or any other means of oral communication.
|
||||
|
||||
a. All persons accessing classified information must follow the guidelines listed in Appendix A, “Handling of Classified Information.”
|
||||
|
||||
a. All persons accessing classified information must complete and submit a Confidentiality Statement to their immediate supervisor or company point-of-contact. A sample Confidentiality Statement is in Appendix B.
|

# Purpose and Scope
|
||||
|
||||
a. This policy defines organizational requirements for the use of cryptographic controls, as well as the requirements for cryptographic keys, in order to protect the confidentiality, integrity, authenticity and nonrepudiation of information.
|
||||
|
||||
a. This policy applies to all systems, equipment, facilities and information within the scope of the organization’s information security program.
|
||||
|
||||
a. All employees, contractors, part-time and temporary workers, service providers, and those employed by others to perform work on behalf of the organization having to do with cryptographic systems, algorithms, or keying material are subject to this policy and must comply with it.
|
||||
|
||||
# Background
|
||||
|
||||
a. This policy defines the high level objectives and implementation instructions for the organization’s use of cryptographic algorithms and keys. It is vital that the organization adopt a standard approach to cryptographic controls across all work centers in order to ensure end-to-end security, while also promoting interoperability. This document defines the specific algorithms approved for use, requirements for key management and protection, and requirements for using cryptography in cloud environments.
|
||||
|
||||
# Policy
|
||||
|
||||
a. The organization must protect individual systems or information by means of cryptographic controls as defined in Table 3:

Table 3: Cryptographic Controls
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
b. Except where otherwise stated, keys must be managed by their owners.
|
||||
|
||||
c. Cryptographic keys must be protected against loss, change or destruction by applying appropriate access control mechanisms to prevent unauthorized use and backing up keys on a regular basis.
|
||||
|
||||
d. When required, customers of the organization’s cloud-based software or platform offering must be able to obtain information regarding:
|
||||
|
||||
i. The cryptographic tools used to protect their information.
|
||||
|
||||
i. Any capabilities that are available to allow cloud service customers to apply their own cryptographic solutions.
|
||||
|
||||
i. The identity of the countries where the cryptographic tools are used to store or transfer cloud service customers’ data.
|
||||
|
||||
a. The use of organizationally-approved encryption must be governed in accordance with the laws of the country, region, or other regulating entity in which users perform their work. Encryption must not be used to violate any laws or regulations including import/export restrictions. The encryption used by the Company conforms to international standards and U.S. import/export requirements, and thus can be used across international boundaries for business purposes.
|
||||
|
||||
a. All key management must be performed using software that automatically manages access control, secure storage, backup and rotation of keys. Specifically:
|
||||
|
||||
i. The key management service must provide key access to specifically-designated users, with the ability to encrypt/decrypt information and generate data encryption keys.
|
||||
|
||||
i. The key management service must provide key administration access to specifically-designated users, with the ability to create, schedule delete, enable/disable rotation, and set usage policies for keys.
|
||||
|
||||
i. The key management service must store and backup keys for the entirety of their operational lifetime.
|
||||
|
