RELEVANT CONTROL ACTIVITIES IN PLACE

Protect Security Awareness and Training

PR.AT-1 Agency Policy states that “All employees are required to complete annual computer-based security awareness training as assigned by the Information Security Officer (ISO).”

The Agency makes use of SANS Secure The Human computer-based awareness training provided by DIR. As of 12/31/2013, 50 percent of agency staff have completed the modules assigned.

The Agency is launching formal Information Security Awareness Project that incorporates an internal website, instructor-led classes, and a division-by-division assessment of training focus and needs. It is expected that this program will be fully implemented in FY 2014. In the past, the Agency has also purchased posters and mouse pads with a security message in order to keep the concept of information security in front of our employees

Control activities

• DIR has provided “pattern controls” expected at each maturity level

• Details the processes at that level

• Not focused on Technology

Level 2 Functions follow standards and can be consistently repeated

Level 3 Functions follow standards that have been well defined in alignment with security requirements

PATTERN CONTROLSPERCENT OF AGENCY AT LEVEL 2


Security awareness and training is a formal project that is planned and based on specific goals.

15% The program identifies and focuses on the security topics that support the organization's mission. The program includes continual refresher activities throughout the year.

• Agencies at level 4 are asked to detail how they measure effectiveness

Level 4 Functions are monitored and measured with oversight and assurance.


HOW IS EFFECTIVENESS OF THE CONTROL MEASURED?

The organization provides regular and ongoing role-based training and awareness that are designed to address top risks identified by the organization in its assessments. The organization measures employee completion and comprehension rates and adjusts its approach to improve those rates.

20% Periodic testing of the agency personnel demonstrates that the awareness training provided has resulted in behavior changes that overall has resulted in fewer incidents related to successful phishing attacks and malware infections.

Effectiveness

3.27.2014

17

• Similarly, at level 5, agencies are asked to detail how they measure efficiency of controls

Level 5 Functions have a high level of efficiency and integration with IT or business processes


HOW IS EFFICIENCY OF CONTROL MEASURED?

Employee participation and comprehension rates in training applicable to their jobs is near 100 percent, and the organization's security-training program has been recognized by peers as an industry leader.

10% The overall cost of the training provided to agency personnel is approximately $5 per employee per year, for material that is presented to the employee at least on a monthly basis. The $5 per employee per year extrapolates to approximately $1,200 per year total, which is approximately 1 percent of the total security budget.

While 1 percent of total security budget could be increased, the amount of time required of each employee has reached an acceptable amount for the agency.

Efficiency

• Finally, agencies are asked to indicate their roadmap for the next 12 months.

• Challenges section is a pull-down menu

ROADMAP(What Steps will With The Agency Take In The Next 12 Months To Improve Its Maturity)

CHALLENGES TO IMPLEMENTATION

In the next 12 months, the agency will examine how to integrate the information security risk management process into system development life cycle activities and establish an initial set of gates that must be passed prior to “go live.”

Example 2: Access ControlControl Objective

• Processes used to ensure access to applications, servers, databases, and network devices in the environment is limited to authorized personnel. Access is to be limited to authorized users, processes acting on behalf of authorized users, or authorized devices. Authorized users are further limited to the types of transactions and functions that they are permitted to exercise. Session limits, lockout features for failed login attempts, account expirations and disabling unused accounts are controls that provide access control.

• Assume agency is at a level 4 and 5 for example 2

• Pattern Controls

4. Role-based access controls are implemented and the principle of "least privilege" is employed. Roles are defined for system access. Individual users are assigned permissions based on roles, no individual permissions are granted. Two factor authentication mechanisms are employed for systems identified as high risk by a documented risk management process.

5. Onboarding: Access to systems is granted based on role-based controls in a documented and auditable manner. Off boarding: A defined and auditable process is in place to revoke all access permissions within 2 hours of a separation activity.

3.27.2014

Example 3: Data ClassificationControl Objective

• Data classification provides a framework for managing data assets and information resources based on utility to the organization, intrinsic financial value and impact of loss and other associated risks. To apply the appropriate levels of protection as required by state and federal law as well as proprietary, ethical, operational, and privacy considerations, data, whether electronic or printed, must be classified. The data owner should consult with the Information Security organization and legal counsel on the classification of data as Restricted, Confidential, Agency-Internal, or Public. Consistent use of data classification reinforces with users the expected level of protection of data assets in accordance with required security policies.

• Assume part of agency is at a level 2 and part at 4 for example 3

• Pattern Controls2. Data classification policies and processes are defined and repeatable. Across the organization,

there is a common understanding of what are the organization's most important and sensitive information. Data owners have been identified for most information.

4. Data is managed by technology that requires classification as new data is created. Automated policies ensure data is consistently classified across the organization. Data classification monitoring is continuous, proactive and preventative involving appropriate metrics. Resources are prioritized based on the classification / criticality / business value of hardware, devices, data, and software. Critical data has been de-duplicated, to minimize the copies that must be inventoried.

3.27.2014

35

Improve compliance with the data classification plan.

Example 3: Data ClassificationRoadmap

3.27.2014

36

Improve compliance with the data classification plan.

The agency has spent time and resources ensuring that PII and customer data is properly classified for business critical systems.

Over the next 12 months, the agency will expand the scope of its data classification project to ensure that all program areas Improve complyiance with the data classification plan.
