Overview

Solving for Security Compliance

We believe that a logical and physical security program should be implemented on an agency enterprise level to provide information security for the information and information systems that support the operations and assets of the organization,

including those provided or managed by another agency, contractor, or other sources

. We assist agencies in doing this through the ...A PRISMA Methodology (Program Review for Information Security Management Assessment).

FISMA / PRISMA Methodology

 Overall Focus Review the strategic and technical aspects of the logical/physical security program. The review identifies the level of maturity of the security program and the customers and/or corporate ability to comply with existing requirements in (9) topic areas (TA).

 Assessment Model Analyze five levels of compliance maturity: policy, procedures, implementation, test, and integration that employs a standardized approach to review and measure the information security posture of an information security program. Policy Mapping

Business Case / Requirements

Modern Information Security Oversight Presents Several Challenges…

• Distributed Risks • Lack of Visibility / Tracking • Complex Compliance Frameworks (FISMA, HIPAA, etc.) • Timeliness • Certification & Accreditation (C&A) Requirements • Increasing and hard to manage costs

…That Can Be Overcome By Leveraging A Proven Methodology And A Modern, Purpose-Built Tool

Application Overview

The pure

FISMA

tool is made up of a

data model

and

business logic layer

designed to support a compliance workflow management system having a particular set of generalized core features.

• These core features are delivered via a User Interface tailored to Client specifications after requirements have been gathered:

– Role/Group-Based User permissions – Integration with various Directory Servers for authentication – Task Management – Scheduling / Event Triggering – Subscription-Based Notifications / Reminders – Notification Center – Reporting – Versioning – Data Import Engine (for importing scan data from 3 rd party vulnerability scanning tools) Pure Integration, LLC Confidential & Proprietary, All Rights Reserved

Application Approach

pure

FISMA

was designed around 3 distinct audiences or ‘perspectives’, each presenting a particular functional emphasis*: • • •

Organization

(e.g., Study Center / Information System) – Information Input – Continuous Monitoring – Asset Management

Compliance

(e.g., Mission Assurance Team / Information Security Dept) – Input Approval/Rejection – Commenting

Executive

(e.g., Program Office / Department Head) – Aggregation – Insight – Communication *The perspective presented is determined at login based on the authenticated user’s role Pure Integration, LLC Confidential & Proprietary, All Rights Reserved

Functional Highlights

Real-Time FISMA Compliance Monitoring    

C&A Workflow Management

• Track/Update C&A progress, Documentation package, and ATO Status • Document repository with Built-in Revision Tracking and Restore • POA&M items and Continuous Monitoring tasks

Configuration Management

• Hardware inventory • Vulnerability scan files and tracking • In-place control verification and tracking

Automatic Event Notification System

• Unified Notification Center • Subscription-Based Email alerts, including: – Missing/upcoming control requirements – Continuous Monitoring Defects

POA&M Tracking System

• Sort by issue type; control family • Map to security control; responsible party • Author (user or accreditation source) • Scheduled completion date • Full resolution history Pure Integration, LLC Confidential & Proprietary, All Rights Reserved 9

Functional Details – Integration

pure

FISMA

is designed to leverage existing enterprise directory services for authentication, including: – Active Directory (Microsoft) – Open Directory (Apple) – eDirectory (Novell) – Oracle Internet Directory – ApacheDS (open source) – OpenDS (open source) Additionally, pure

FISMA

can support multifactor authentication schemes, including: – Complex device identification – Mobile (via SMS) – Others (may require additional hardware / software) Pure Integration, LLC Confidential & Proprietary, All Rights Reserved

Functional Details – Task Management

pure

FISMA’s

POA&M list: – Automatically adds items based on deficiencies identified during: • Continuous Monitoring • Security Assessment – Manually add items based on deficiencies identified during other assessments: • Privacy Impact Assessment • Risk Assessment pure

FISMA

provides each user with a personalized task list, including: – User-Defined Tasks • Can be manually associated with one or more security controls – Auto-Generated Tasks (e.g., expiring control) – Automated Reminders • In-Application reminders via Notification Center • Outbound email reminders – Automated POA&M Integration • When a deficiency affecting a particular security control is added to the POA&M list, a task is automatically created for the party responsible for that control Pure Integration, LLC Confidential & Proprietary, All Rights Reserved
