Put rules, procedures or agreements in place for every way information moves, inside and outside the organization.

ISO 27002 5.14 guidance: Requires transfer rules, procedures or agreements to be in place for every type of transfer facility, covering transfers within the organisation and between the organisation and outside parties.

Plan, implement, maintain and test ICT readiness against business continuity objectives.

ISO 27002 5.30 guidance: Requires ICT readiness to be planned, implemented, maintained and tested against business continuity objectives and ICT continuity requirements. Supporting material frames this as ICT infrastructure and resources being resilient enough to carry business operations through disruption.

Apply security measures when people access, process or store information outside the organization's premises.

ISO 27002 6.7 guidance: Requires security measures to be implemented when personnel work remotely, protecting information that is accessed, processed or stored outside the organisation's premises.

Site equipment securely and protect it.

ISO 27002 7.8 guidance: Requires equipment to be sited securely and protected. Older source material in the folder expands this as siting equipment to reduce unnecessary access into work areas, positioning and restricting the viewing angle of facilities handling sensitive data, isolating items needing special protection, and guarding against physical hazards such as theft, fire, water, dust, vibration, electrical interference and vandalism.

Protect assets used or held off-site.

ISO 27002 7.9 guidance: Requires assets located away from the organisation's premises to be protected.

Manage storage media across acquisition, use, transport and disposal per classification and handling rules.

ISO 27002 7.10 guidance: Requires storage media to be managed across their whole life cycle, covering acquisition, use, transportation and disposal, in accordance with the organisation's classification scheme and handling requirements. Older source material adds that disposal should follow formal procedures scaled to the sensitivity of the information held, and that media in transit needs protection against unauthorised access, misuse and corruption.

Maintain equipment correctly to preserve availability, integrity and confidentiality.

ISO 27002 7.13 guidance: Requires equipment to be maintained correctly, so that information stays available, intact and confidential.

Protect information stored on, processed by or reachable through user endpoints.

ISO 27002 8.1 guidance: Requires information stored on, processed by or accessible through user endpoint devices to be protected.

Establish, document, implement, monitor and review secure configurations for hardware, software, services and networks.

ISO 27002 8.9 guidance: Requires configurations of hardware, software, services and networks, including their security configurations, to be established, documented, implemented, monitored and reviewed. Supporting material frames this as a standing process that keeps systems configured securely and consistently.

Maintain and regularly test backups of information, software and systems per the backup policy.

ISO 27002 8.13 guidance: Requires backup copies of information, software and systems to be maintained and regularly tested, in line with the agreed topic specific policy on backup. Supporting SME guidance treats regular creation of backups together with tested recovery as the substance of the control, not the copy on its own.

Requires documented configuration settings, connection rules and implementation guidance for mobile devices the organization controls, including their use away from controlled areas, and explicit authorization before any such device connects to an organizational system.

Requires terms to be established, or existing external system relationships identified, before authorized individuals may reach the system from external systems or handle organizational information on them, or alternatively requires organization-defined types of external system to be prohibited outright.

Requires an accurate inventory of system components that covers every component, avoids duplicate or cross system accounting, is held at the granularity needed for tracking and reporting, carries the information the organization has defined for accountability, and is reviewed and updated on a defined frequency.

Requires an alternate storage site to be established with the agreements needed to store and retrieve backup information, and requires that site to provide controls equivalent to those protecting the primary site.

Requires backups of user-level information, system-level information and system documentation including security and privacy documentation, each at an organization-defined frequency, and requires the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the backup information itself to be protected.

Requires the system to be recoverable and reconstitutable to a known state within an organization-defined period consistent with its recovery time and recovery point objectives after disruption, compromise or failure.

Requires organization-defined media types to be protected and controlled by defined controls while in transit outside controlled areas, accountability for the media to be maintained throughout, transport activity to be documented, and transport to be carried out only by authorized personnel.

Requires physical access authorizations to be enforced at defined entry and exit points by verifying authorization before entry and controlling ingress and egress with defined mechanisms or guards, physical access audit logs to be kept, publicly accessible areas to be controlled, visitors to be escorted and their activity controlled in defined circumstances,...

Location of System Components. Position system components within the facility to minimize potential damage from [organization-defined] and to minimize the opportunity for unauthorized access

Requires integrity verification tools to be employed to detect unauthorized changes to organization-defined software, firmware and information, and requires organization-defined actions to be taken when such unauthorized changes are detected.

Establish and maintain an accurate, detailed, and up-to-date inventory of all enterprise assets with the potential to store or process data, to include: end-user devices (including portable and mobile), network devices, non-computing/IoT devices, and servers. Ensure the inventory records the network address (if static), hardware address, machine name, enterp...

Remotely wipe enterprise data from enterprise-owned portable end-user devices when deemed appropriate such as lost or stolen devices, or when an individual no longer supports the enterprise.

Perform automated backups of in-scope enterprise assets. Run backups weekly, or more frequently, based on the sensitivity of the data.

Establish and maintain an isolated instance of recovery data. Example implementations include, version controlling backup destinations through offline, cloud, or off-site systems or services.

Require users to authenticate to enterprise-managed VPN and authentication services prior to accessing enterprise resources on end-user devices.

Implement and maintain a response structure enabling timely warning and communication to relevant interested parties, with plans and procedures to manage the organization through a disruption and to activate continuity solutions, identified and documented from the output of the selected strategies and solutions, and with procedures that are specific about im...

Document and maintain business continuity plans that guide teams through response and recovery, collectively containing the actions to continue or recover prioritized activities within predetermined time frames, the means of monitoring the disruption and the response, the pre defined thresholds and process for activating the response, procedures to deliver p...

Maintain documented processes to restore and return business activities from the temporary measures adopted during and after a disruption.

Financial entities shall put in place an ICT business continuity policy and ICT response and recovery plans (including measures, procedures and arrangements) to ensure continuity of critical or important functions, quickly contain damage, resume activities and recover, subject to regular testing.

Financial entities shall develop and document backup policies and procedures, and restoration and recovery procedures and methods, ensuring backups can be restored with minimal disruption, with backup systems physically and logically segregated from the source system.

Applies ZTA to an organization with a headquarters plus geographically dispersed locations and remote workers that have no full enterprise-owned network.
