Process owners must update affected documentation and trigger necessary security control verifications.
• Vulnerability management type: Supplier-defined controls
• Vulnerability management approach: A formal Vulnerability Management Standard and Process is implemented to identify, assess, and remediate vulnerabilities across IT systems. Automated scanning and continuous monitoring are performed. Threat; intelligence is sourced from trusted feeds, vendor advisories, and CERT; alerts. Vulnerabilities are prioritised using CVSS v4 scoring, and remediation timelines are defined by severity. DevOps teams own the; remediation process, ensuring timely patch deployment and validation.
• Protective monitoring type: Supplier-defined controls
• Protective monitoring approach: A Monitoring and Event Management Standard is implemented, together; with an Incident Response Plan. All relevant infrastructure elements are; integrated with a centralised logging solution. Alerts trigger via Slack and; email with detailed event insights and predefined impact categorisation. The logs are protected via mature IAM controls. A 12 month-retention period is set for audit trail purposes. Regular config reviews are in place. Event Response procedures are defined and handled by DevOps. Audit logs; contain: user access, admin actions, failed login attempts, identity; changes, system object creation/deletion, time changes and security control events, etc.
• Incident management type: Supplier-defined controls
• Incident management approach: The monitoring stack continuously tracks infrastructure components,; generating alerts for threshold breaches or anomalous activity. The SOC supplements this by notifying the team of security events requiring investigation. Users can report incidents via the support portal. Once; detected, a Jira ticket is created for DevOps to perform triage, review; telemetry, and assess impact. Severity and classification determine; whether the formal Incident Response Process is initiated. Response actions include asset verification, containment, threat eradication,; remediation, and secure restoration. All incident details and actions are; documented within the Jira ticket to maintain a complete audit trail for; compliance and future analysis.
