Study Notes
Component 1: Processes, Rules and Protocols in EIS
- EIS comprises standard processes that organizations repeat to maintain efficiency and effectiveness.
- Processes include various organizational functions, such as manufacturing, sales, and employee onboarding.
Rules in EIS
- Definition: Rules are broad principles guiding employee decision-making within processes.
-
Typical Rules:
- Password Policies: Enforce complex passwords changed every 90 days; may require a combination of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and special characters; restrict reuse of the last five passwords.
- Access Control: Limits access based on job roles; employees access only data relevant to their functions.
- Data Handling: Mandates encryption for sensitive data during transit and at rest.
- Acceptable Use: Restricts personal internet use during work hours; specifies business-only use of company emails and bans unauthorized software installations.
- Incident Reporting: Requires prompt reporting within an hour of any suspected data breach to IT.
Protocols in EIS
- Definition: Protocols are specific steps detailing how to communicate or interact within the system.
-
Typical Protocols:
- Data Backup and Recovery: Involves nightly full backups and quarterly restoration tests to ensure data recovery can occur within set timeframes.
- Software Development and Deployment: Outlines steps for code review, testing phases (unit, integration, and user acceptance), and deployment processes.
- Incident Response: Details steps for detecting and responding to security issues, often using automated tools for monitoring.
- Data Handling and Protection: Specifies secure methods for transferring sensitive data and procedures for data deletion.
- Communication: Designates tools for both internal and external communication, emphasizing security measures for sensitive information.
Relationship Between Rules and Protocols
- Rules and protocols are complementary; rules define what actions are permissible while protocols explain how to perform those actions safely and efficiently.
Scope of Rules and Protocols in EIS
- Organizations must subjectively determine which rules and protocols are essential for their EIS.
- All rules and protocols directly affecting digital operations are considered part of the organization's EIS.
