Study Notes

Data Ownership and Classification

  • Data owners are responsible for defining classifications and ensuring proper labeling and protection of data.
  • They establish requirements for protecting data at various classifications, such as encrypting sensitive data both at rest and in transit.
  • Data classifications are typically outlined in security or data policies.

Types of Sensitive Information

  • Personally identifiable information (PII) identifies individuals, while protected health information (PHI) pertains to health-related data linked to a specific person.
  • Unauthorized disclosure of classified information results in a loss of confidentiality.
  • Sensitive information must be marked, handled, stored, and destructed post-use to be properly managed.

Data Management Policies

  • Record retention policies dictate the retention and destruction of data as per regulatory requirements or organizational policies.
  • System owners are responsible for the systems that process data, while business and mission owners ensure system effectiveness.

Roles in Data Handling

  • A data processor is typically a third-party entity handling organizational data.
  • System administrators grant data access based on data owner guidelines.
  • Users access data to perform tasks, while data custodians manage the daily protection and storage of data.

Security Controls and Compliance

  • The GDPR emphasizes two key security controls: encryption and pseudonymization.
  • Security control baselines serve as a reference for applicable controls within an organization.

Due Care vs. Due Diligence

  • Due care involves management providing resources for effective job performance; due diligence refers to the execution of that job with those resources.

Data Protection Techniques

  • Anonymization removes identifiable data elements, making original subject identification impossible and is challenging due to data inference.
  • Metadata refers to data that describes other data.

Data Lifecycle Management

  • Data Lifecycle Control encompasses processes like specification, modeling, database maintenance, audits for effectiveness, and backup archiving.
  • Data protection must span three states: at rest, in transit, and in use.

Data Remanence

  • Data remanence refers to residual signals after data is erased; countermeasures include clearing, purging, and destruction.

Information Classification and Categorization

  • Information classification determines access privileges, while categorization assesses the impact of confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CIA) loss.

Privacy Requirements

  • The Privacy Shield framework outlines requirements for Notice, Choice, Onward Transfer, Security, Data Integrity, Access, and Enforcement, applicable in the US and EU.

Legislative Standards

  • HIPAA stands for Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.
  • PCI (Payment Card Industry) is an industry standard for card transactions; non-compliance may hinder credit card acceptance for businesses.

Data Protection Techniques

  • The most effective control for data at rest is the encryption of all mobile and removable devices.
  • WPA2 is the most secure wireless network encryption protocol compared to WEP and can also incorporate VPN protections.
