Security Risk Management: Building An Informati... !!INSTALL!!



The suite of NIST information security risk management standards and guidelines is not a "FISMA Compliance checklist." Federal agencies, contractors, and other sources that use or operate a federal information system use the suite of NIST Risk Management standards and guidelines to develop and implement a risk-based approach to manage information security risk. FISMA emphasizes the importance of risk management. Compliance with applicable laws, regulations, executive orders, directives, etc. is a byproduct of implementing a robust, risk-based information security program.

The NIST Risk Management Framework (RMF) provides a flexible, holistic, and repeatable 7-step process to manage security and privacy risk and links to a suite of NIST standards and guidelines to support implementation of risk management programs to meet the requirements of the Federal Information Security Modernization Act (FISMA).


Federal agencies need to provide information security protections commensurate with the risk and magnitude of the harm resulting from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction of:


The Office of Information Security (OIS) will develop and maintain an Information Security Risk Management Process to frame, assess, respond, and monitor risk. Guidance for this process will be based on the International Organization for Standardization, ISO27001, ISO27005, ISO31000 frameworks and specific security regulations (e.g. HIPAA, PCI-DSS, FERPA, etc.). The risk management process will be designed to assist WashU maintain compliance with regulatory requirements, federal, state, and local laws. Refer to the Information Security Risk Management Process for instructions.


This Small-Entity Compliance Guide1 is intended to help financial institutions2 comply with the Interagency Guidelines Establishing Information Security Standards (Security Guidelines).3 The guide summarizes the obligations of financial institutions to protect customer information and illustrates how certain provisions of the Security Guidelines apply to specific situations. The appendix lists resources that may be helpful in assessing risks and designing and implementing information security programs.


Implementing an information security program begins with conducting an assessment of reasonably foreseeable risks. Like other elements of an information security program, risk assessment procedures, analysis, and results must be written.


The risk assessment may include an automated analysis of the vulnerability of certain customer information systems. However, an automated analysis likely will not address manual processes and controls, detection of and response to intrusions into information systems, physical security, employee training, and other key controls. Accordingly, an automated analysis of vulnerabilities should be only one tool used in conducting a risk assessment.When performing a risk assessment, an institution may want to consult the resources and standards listed in the appendix to this guide and consider incorporating the practices developed by the listed organizations when developing its information security program.10


The Security Guidelines require a financial institution to design an information security program to control the risks identified through its assessment, commensurate with the sensitivity of the information and the complexity and scope of its activities. Thus, an institution must consider a variety of policies, procedures, and technical controls and adopt those measures that it determines appropriately address the identified risks.


Center for Internet Security (CIS) -- A nonprofit cooperative enterprise that helps organizations reduce the risk of business and e-commerce disruptions resulting from inadequate security configurations. CIS develops security benchmarks through a global consensus process. Its members include the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), Financial Management Service of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, and Institute for Security Technology Studies (Dartmouth College).


CERT Coordination Center -- A center for Internet security expertise operated by Carnegie Mellon University. CERT provides security-incident reports, vulnerability reports, security-evaluation tools, security modules, and information on business continuity planning, intrusion detection, and network security. It also offers training programs at Carnegie Mellon. CERT has developed an approach for self-directed evaluations of information security risk called Operationally Critical Threat, Asset, and Vulnerability Evaluation (OCTAVE). www.cert.org/octave/


Microsoft Purview Insider Risk Management correlates various signals to identify potential malicious or inadvertent insider risks, such as IP theft, data leakage and security violations. Insider risk management enables customers to create policies to manage security and compliance. Built with privacy by design, users are pseudonymized by default, and role-based access controls and audit logs are in place to help ensure user-level privacy.


For more information and an overview of the planning process to address potentially risky activities in your organization that may lead to a security incident, see Starting an insider risk management program.


Users typically have a large degree of control when managing their devices in the modern workplace. This control may include permissions to install or uninstall applications needed in the performance of their duties or the ability to temporarily disable device security features. Whether this risk activity is inadvertent, accidental, or malicious, this conduct can pose risk to your organization and is important to identify and act to minimize. To help identify these risky security activities, the following insider risk management security policy violation templates scores security risk indicators and uses Microsoft Defender for Endpoint alerts to provide insights for security-related activities:


Having visual context is crucial for security teams during forensic investigations to get better insights into potentially risky user activities that may lead to a security incident. This may include visual capturing of these activities to help evaluate if they are indeed risky or taken out of context and not potentially risky. For activities that are determined to be risky, having forensic evidence captures can help investigators and your organization better mitigate, understand, and respond to these activities. To help with this scenario, enable forensic evidence capturing for online and offline devices in your organization.


ISO/IEC 27001:2013 specifies the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving an information security management system within the context of the organization. It also includes requirements for the assessment and treatment of information security risks tailored to the needs of the organization. The requirements set out in ISO/IEC 27001:2013 are generic and are intended to be applicable to all organizations, regardless of type, size or nature.


The purpose of this policy is to provide a formal structure for the management of information security (IS) risks occurring within the University of Wisconsin (UW) System. IS risk management protects the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of UW IT assets in compliance with applicable UW System policies, state and federal regulations, and industry guidelines.


The President of the UW System is empowered to establish information security polices under Regent Policy Document 25-5, Information Technology: Information Security. The UW System is committed to a secure information technology environment in support of its mission. The information security risk management principles described within this policy are designed to help ensure satisfactory and consistent practices to address and mitigate information security risk throughout all UW System institutions.


Information security risk associated with all IT assets must be formally managed, as described in UW System Administrative Procedure 1039.A, Information Security: Risk Management and UW System Administrative Procedure 1039.B, Information Security: Notification of Risk Acceptance, to ensure that the likelihood and impact of threats and vulnerabilities are understood and minimized to the furthest extent practical.


Information security risks and the assessment of those risks will be compiled and maintained in a centralized repository known as the UW System Risk Register. Risks will be identified through a variety of sources, including but not limited to, internal and external audits and assessments, systems monitoring, vulnerability scans, penetration tests, and incident investigations. UW System leadership will convene regularly, in the form of a Risk and Compliance Council, to evaluate and prioritize any mitigation actions to address identified risks.


The UW System Office of Information Security will ensure information security risk management training materials are made available to Risk Executives, UW System leaders, managers, system developers and users.
