This structure ensures that risk decisions, policy direction, and programmatic oversight flow from the CISO to the GRC, Cybersecurity, Privacy, SOC, and Product Security teams in a coordinated manner.; Policy adherence is ensured through a combination of mandatory security policies and standards, formal review and approval workflows, ongoing compliance monitoring, internal audits, automated governance controls, and periodic assessments against NIST and ISO 27001 control objectives. "
• Software Security Code of Practice: Yes

Operational security

• Configuration and change management standard: Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
• Configuration and change management approach: RSA tracks all service components throughout their lifecycle using formal asset and configuration management processes referenced in our Change Management Process. All changes follow a defined workflow that includes classification, documented approvals, and linkage to configuration items to ensure traceability. Security impact is assessed as part of the mandatory risk and impact analysis performed before implementation, aligning with incident, problem, and release management controls. Changes are reviewed to evaluate potential security implications, ensuring that only authorized, tested, and approved modifications are deployed in accordance with SRO governance standards.
• Vulnerability management type: Supplier-defined controls
• Vulnerability management approach: RSA evaluates potential threats through continuous vulnerability scanning, threat intelligence monitoring, and analysis of security events, as defined in the Security Patch and Vulnerability Management Standard. Threat information is sourced from internal monitoring, industry intelligence, and vendor advisories to identify emerging risks. Patches are prioritized based on severity and deployed following the standard’s defined timelines, which require prompt remediation for high‑risk vulnerabilities and ensure quarantining of unpatched or affected systems until resolved. This approach ensures timely mitigation and continuous protection of RSA services.
• Protective monitoring type: Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
• Protective monitoring approach: RSA identifies potential compromises through continuous security monitoring, including centralized log collection and correlation across endpoints, applications, and security systems. Security Monitoring and Compliance controls detect abnormal behavior, trigger alerts, and support threat identification as defined in the Information Security Policy. When a potential compromise is detected, incidents are triaged and handled by the SRO Incident Response team following established IR procedures. RSA responds promptly, with rapid containment and investigation steps initiated as soon as alerts are raised to minimize impact and restore secure operations.
• Incident management type: Complies with a recognised standard, for example, CSA CCM v4.0 or ISO/IEC 27035:2011 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
• Incident management approach: RSA maintains predefined incident‑handling processes documented in the Incident Response Plan, including procedures for common events such as categorization, evidence handling, monitoring, and escalation. Users report incidents through the SRO channels, including the dedicated security mailbox and service desk workflows. Once an incident is investigated, the SRO IR team provides incident reports following the structured IR controls as defined in the incident Response Plan, ensuring clear documentation, findings, and remediation actions.
