Posted By Timothy Pinkham 11-28-2023 03:06:00 PM
Found In Egroup: Cybersecurity \ view thread
Will you please provide your recommendations for GRC and employee cybersecurity training vendors/services? We don't have a GRC tool yet. We attended a demo with SaltyCloud (Isora) and were impressed with it. Are there any better GRC services than this? If so, why? For employee data security and privacy ...

GLBA Safeguards Rule 4(d) and 4(g) questions

I have a few GLBA questions related to 314.4: How does your institution satisfy 4(d)(2) of the Safeguards rule (continuous monitoring or periodic vulnerability assessments)? Is a CrowdStrike Falcon Complete, plus annual penetration testing, adequate to satisfy this requirement? Or is something more ...

Does anyone know if there is a comprehensive standardized list of risk factors? (for the cybersecurity field) Let's say you need to complete a risk assessment for something - compliance, vendor review, or something else. As you identify risk factors, you need names for them. This is where the standardized ...

What method does your institution use for shredding sensitive documents?

Dylan, Thank you for such a helpful and thorough response! I communicated with a Shopify rep yesterday, and I can confirm some of what you've said. Here's what I found out: The Tap & Chip Reader (model S1801) is a PCI PTS-approved device (approval no. 4-30353). The device does not accept PIN entry ...

Thank you to everyone for your valuable input. Once clarification about the SAQ B-IP: I didn't think this would apply since it applies to PTS-approved payment terminals. Here's their definition of PTS: "Acronym for "PIN Transaction Security," PTS is a set of modular evaluation requirements managed ...

I've been reviewing some Shopify products for use on campus. I have some questions that some of you might have answers for. For their SaaS solution, which they claim is PCI-compliant, would we have any PCI requirements? Or because THEY are the merchant, is compliance their responsibility? Shopify ...

The part I'm still hung up on is defining the scope and boundaries. What is included and what isn't? I read carefully through the 314 document and the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 1843(k)(4). The only applicable financial services I can identify are loans and insurance. But when I look at other ...

I want to revive this topic. I would still like to know if anyone has answers to my original questions, and I have new questions.

Randy, Do you track or manage student or adjunct computers? I'm wondering if you have any assets that classify as authorized unmanaged untracked assets. That would also mean that it's possible to have an authorized non-enterprise asset, right? ------------------------------ Timothy Pinkham Information ...

Thank you, Randy! Can you tell me what the definition of "unauthorized asset" is? We're working through our 1.1 policy (with the help of the CIS enterprise asset management policy template). We're having difficulty locking in certain terms because "unauthorized asset" isn't clear to us. Is it more ...
