Why it matters: Develop, implement, and enforce information systems security policies ensuring system security requirements are addressed during all phases of the acquisition and Information System (IS) lifecycle.

What they’re saying: "Conduct technical risk and vulnerability assessments of planned and installed information system to identify vulnerabilities, risks, and protection needs and conducts systems security evaluations, audits, and reviews.", Philip C. - IT/Cyber Security Professional

Meanwhile: Guarantee your operation is determining security requirements by evaluating business strategies and requirements, implementing information security standards, conducting system security and vulnerability analyses and risk assessments, recommending secure architecture aligned to business architecture, and identifying/driving remediation of integration issues.

Be smart: Make sure the Manager, Information Security manages the development and delivery of information technology (IT) security standards, best practices, architecture, and systems to ensure information system security across the organization.

Yes, but: Make sure your process maintains awareness of the most recent system security policies and directives to lead Systems Engineers, Project Engineers, other Information System Security Engineers, and Program Management with the analysis of user and system requirements and constraints.

On the flip side: Develop design documentation and conduct technical information system security testing for appropriate security risk management processes using security assessment and technical testing efforts to identify and patch vulnerabilities to the systems being developed.

Go deeper: Provide project documentation to include risk management and system security plan, information assurance assessments on systems development, integration, and operations and maintenance supports in compliance with the (internal) customer certification and accreditation process pursuant to security guidelines following organization standards and best practices.

State of play: Initiate maintains information systems security documentation, such as system security plans, risk assessments, disaster recovery plans, IT business continuity plans, and checklists to meet appropriate system and regulatory compliance.

What to watch: Conduct security assessments of system security plans to help ensure that plans provide security controls for information systems that meet stated security requirements.

The backdrop: Make sure your workforce ensures that System Security Engineering industry best practices are established, implemented, enforced, and evaluated for compliance for technology and services that provide perimeter security, network security, endpoint security, application security, physical security, and data security for all information technology assets.

How it works: Provide Information system security engineering that captures and refines information security requirements and ensure that the requirements are effectively integrated into information systems through purposeful security architecting, design, development, and configuration.

Under the hood: Secure that your design is determining network and ATM centric security requirements by evaluating business strategies and requirements, researching information security standards, conducting system security and vulnerability analyses and risk assessments and identifying integration issues.

The bottom line: Maintain operational security posture for an information system or program to ensure information systems security policies, standards, and procedures are established and followed.

What’s next: Warrant that your strategy develops and delivers IS security standards, best practices, architecture and systems to ensure information system security across your organization.

ICYMI: Ensure that all Team members, especially System Stakeholders, System Administrators, Network Administrators and Information Systems Security Personnel, are made aware of this patch management policy and procedures.

Who will develop and manage your organizations information governance plan, information system security plan, and data resilience or back up plan?

Has your organization developed system security plans consistent with your organizations information system architecture based on the criteria contained in the control requirement?

Does your organization document and monitor individual information system security training activities including basic security awareness training and specific information system security training?

How does the information system categorization affect the use of common security controls?

Does your organization systematically monitor and record the information system security threats to which it is exposed?

Does your organization track and document information system security incidents on an ongoing basis?

Does your organization track and document information on system security incidents?

Where does all the information about the control system security incidents come from?
