Every day brings new projects, emails, documents, and task lists, and often it is not that different from the work you have done before. Many of our day-to-day tasks need to be protected well by our IT Security controls. Our private, business and legal documents are all saved on our computers and in the cloud. Especially governments, who are not very familiar with IT security, can benefit from making a detailed IT security policy. For example, it's important to make sure that each agency is responsible for:
  • Initiating measures to assure and demonstrate compliance with the security requirements outlined in this policy 
  • Implementing and maintaining an IT Security Program
  • Identifying a role (position/person/title) that is responsible for implementing and maintaining the agency security program 
  • Ensuring that security is part of the information planning and procurement process
  • Participating in annual information systems data security self-audits focusing on compliance to this State data security policy
  • Determining the feasibility of conducting regular external and internal vulnerability assessments and penetration testing to verify security controls are working properly and to identify weaknesses 
  • Implementing a risk management process for the life cycle of each critical IT System
  • Assuring the confidentiality, integrity, availability, and accountability of all agency information while it is being processed, stored, and/or transmitted electronically, and the security of the resources associated with those processing functions 
  • Assuming the lead role in resolving Agency security and privacy incidents 
  • Abiding by the guidelines established in the Government Database Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA). Passwords must not consist of all numbers, all special characters, or all alphabetic characters
  • Passwords must not contain leading or trailing blanks 
  • Change user-level passwords at regular intervals (at least annually) 
  • Administrative-level account passwords shall be changed every 90 days or sooner  Passwords protecting access to systems or applications that have been categorized as Moderate or High shall be changed every 90 days or sooner 
  • Password reuse must be prohibited by not allowing the last 10 passwords to be reused with a minimum password age of at least 2 days 
  • Where possible, users should be prohibited from only changing/or adding one (1) character to their previous password (i.e., users should be prohibited).

Appropriate data security controls reduce the likelihood (and impact) of data breach incidents during various phases of the data lifecycle. The purpose of this standard is to set out the rules for securing the companies' data during transmission and storage. This document provides best practice recommendations on information security management for use by those responsible for initiating, implementing or maintaining information security management systems (ISMS).
