DS 9.1 Configuration Repository and Baseline
Control Objective:
Controls provide reasonable assurance that IT components, as they relate to security, processing and availability, are well protected, would prevent any unauthorized changes, and assist in the verification and recording of the current configuration.
Establish a central repository to contain all relevant information on configuration items. This repository includes hardware, application software, middleware, parameters, documentation, procedures and tools for operating, accessing and using the systems and services. Relevant information to consider is naming, version numbers and licensing details. A baseline of configuration items should be kept for every system and service as a checkpoint to which to return after changes.
Rationale — Configuration management includes procedures such that security, availability and processing integrity controls are set up in the system and maintained through its life cycle. Insufficient configuration controls can lead to security and availability exposures that may permit unauthorized access to systems and data and impact financial reporting.
Applicability:
- Sarbanes-Oxley
- HIPAA
- GLBA
- PCI
- FISMA
- NIST SP 800-66
- Ditscap
- Control Exception
- User Defined
Risk Association Control Activities:
- 1. Risk: Insufficient configuration controls can lead to security and availability exposures that may permit unauthorized access to systems and data and impact financial reporting. .
- a. SOX.2.0.30 System infrastructure, including firewalls, routers, switches, network operating systems, servers and other related devices, is properly configured to prevent unauthorized access.
- a. SOX.2.0.30 System infrastructure, including firewalls, routers, switches, network operating systems, servers and other related devices, is properly configured to prevent unauthorized access.
- 1. Risk: Insufficient configuration controls can lead to security and availability exposures that may permit unauthorized access to systems and data and impact financial reporting. .
