  9. UCISA Suggested Sections 16 sections including: Personnel BC/DR Compliance Outsourcing Operations System and network planning and management User management Use of Computers, mobile working
  10. Details Some sections will not affect departments directly e.g. HR will handle all personnel issues Departments that don’t run their own systems will only be affected at the user level (e.g. disk encryption) Departments that run their own systems and handle sensitive data have some work to do
  11. Department A Doesn’t handle any sensitive data Doesn’t run own services Carry on as before. No work
  12. Department B Handles sensitive data e.g. Health data Must comply with funders requirements Likely to include: Data encryption Data auditing ISO27001 compliance May be a lot of work, depending on what you are doing now
  13. Department C Handles no sensitive data but runs own services e.g. email Likely to have to do some work as part of University’s BC planning
  14. Example Business Continuity ISO27001 specifies that a BC plan must exist for critical systems Means you must identify “critical systems”! It doesn’t mean you have to have full redundancy OK to say “this system can be down for two weeks while we restore from backups” BUT….. This must true!
  15. Example II Change Control Change control processes are part of 27k Could be very informal for some systems, very formal for others
