1.3.3: Use of approved external IT services

Oh no! No description found. But not to worry. Read from Tasks below how to advance this topic.

Objective: Particularly in the case of external IT services that can be used at relatively low cost or free of charge, there is an increased risk that procurement and commissioning will be carried out without appropriate consideration of the information security requirements and that security therefore is not ensured.

Requirements (must): External IT services are not used without explicit assessment and implementation of the information security requirements:
- A risk assessment of the external IT services is available,
- Legal, regulatory, and contractual requirements are considered.
The external IT services have been harmonized with the protection need of the processed information assets.

Requirements (should): Requirements regarding the procurement, commissioning and release associated with the use of external IT services are determined and fulfilled.
A procedure for release in consideration of the protection need is established.
External IT services and their approval are documented.
It is verified at regular intervals that only approved external IT services are used.

The ISMS component hierachy

When building an ISMS, it's important to understand the different levels of information hierarchy. Here's how Cyberday is structured.

Framework

Sets the overall compliance standard or regulation your organization needs to follow.

Requirements

Break down the framework into specific obligations that must be met.

Tasks

Concrete actions and activities your team carries out to satisfy each requirement.

Policies

Documented rules and practices that are created and maintained as a result of completing tasks.

Never duplicate effort. Do it once - improve compliance across frameworks.

Reach multi-framework compliance in the simplest possible way
Security frameworks tend to share the same core requirements - like risk management, backup, malware, personnel awareness or access management.
Cyberday maps all frameworks’ requirements into shared tasks - one single plan that improves all frameworks’ compliance.
Do it once - we automatically apply it to all current and future frameworks.
