Study Notes
Security Operations and Administration
- Involves identifying information assets, implementing policies, standards, procedures, and guidelines.
- Aims to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CIA) of information.
Accountability
- Traces actions on a system to individual users, preventing denial of responsibility.
- Prerequisites for accountability include:
- Identification: Unique identifiers (e.g., usernames) for each user; avoid shared or generic accounts.
- Authentication: Strong methods to prevent unauthorized access and user denial.
Key Principles of Information Security
- Need to Know: Limits information access based on valid business needs; not every individual with clearance can access sensitive data.
- Least Privilege: Provides minimum necessary permissions for job functions; organizations can utilize emergency access procedures for IT staff.
- Separation of Duties: Combines sensitive permissions held by different individuals/groups to prevent misuse; audits verify compliance.
Data Security Roles
-
Data Owner: Senior official responsible for data assets; sets policies and guidelines.
- Example: Vice President for Human Resources managing employment data.
- Data Stewards: Manage daily data governance and decide data access.
- Data Custodian: IT staff responsible for storage and processing of information.
- Data Users: Regular users of data (e.g., analysts, managers) who must protect data from unauthorized access and adhere to rules established by data owners and stewards.
Limiting Data Collection
- Reduces risks of information misuse or loss; follows privacy principles.
- Organizations must inform individuals about data collection and usage, and obtain consent.
- New consent is needed before collecting additional information beyond disclosed purposes.
Code of Ethics Overview
- Focuses on protecting society and public trust, acting honorably and responsibly.
- Promotes diligent service and advancing the profession.
