6. Security Breach Policy

6.1. Purpose of Security Breach Policy

6.1.1. Purpose of this Security Breach Policy is to establish general guide line for Cognitive Healthcare International (CHI) to enable quick and efficient recovery from security incidents; respond in a systematic manner to incidents and carry out the steps necessary to handle an incident; and minimize disruption to critical computing services or loss or theft of sensitive or mission critical information.

6.1.2. The sections below describe:

      1. Who to notify upon discovery of an incident?
      2. procedures for handling and recovering from an incident in a manner appropriate to the type of security incident; and
      3. how to establish a reporting format and evidence retention procedure.

 

6.1.3. This policy provides an overview of the process. Any questions about this Policy should be directed security@coginitivehealthintl.com

6.2. Overview of Workflow

6.2.1. When a security incident is detected or reported, key first steps are to

      1. contain the incident,
      2. initiate an investigation of its scope and origins, and
      3. decide if it qualifies as a Breach.

 

6.3. Overview of Roles

6.3.1. Incident Handler: This role is filled by IT security staff from CHI.

6.3.2. System Administrator: This role is filled by the technical staff responsible for deploying and maintaining the system at risk. Also referred to as a “first responder” in the context of this process.

6.3.3. System Owner: This role is filled by the staff member or management member who has responsibility for the business function performed by the system.

6.3.4. Network Operations: This role is filled by the technical staff responsible for network infrastructure at the site housing the system at risk.

6.4. Identification

6.4.1. The identification phase of incident response has as its goal the discovery of potential security incidents and the assembly of an incident response team that can effectively contain and mitigate the incident:

      • Identify a potential incident.
      • Notify internal stakeholders
      • Notify external stakeholders (customers)
      • Quarantine

 

6.5. Verification

6.5.1. Primary goal of this phase to confirming that the compromise is genuine and presents sufficient risk to engage the Critical Incident Response (CIR) process to Classify and Verify the breach.

6.5.1.1. The order of the steps above can vary from incident to incident, but for the CIR process to be initiated the criticality of the asset must be confirmed, and it must be confirmed that the triggering event is not a false positive.

6.5.1.2. All external stakeholders (customers) will be notified after the verification.

 

6.6. Containment

6.6.1. The incident handler will collect data from system administrators in order to quickly assess the scope of the incident, including:

      • Preliminary list of compromised systems
      • Preliminary list of storage media that may contain evidence
      • Preliminary attack timeline based on initially available evidence

 

6.6.2. Preserve forensic evidence:

      • System administrators will capture first responder data if the system is turned on.
      • The incident handler will capture disk images for all media that are suspected of containing evidence, including external hard drives and flash drives.
      • The incident handler will dump network flow data and other sensor data for the system.
      • The incident handler will create an analysis plan to guide the next phase of the investigation.

 

6.7. Analysis

6.7.1. The analysis phase is where in-depth investigation of the available network-based and host-based evidence occurs. The primary goal of analysis is to establish whether there is reasonable belief that the attacker(s) successfully accessed High Risk Data or Data on the compromised system.

6.7.2. Secondary goals are to generate an attack timeline and ascertain the attackers’ actions. All analysis steps are primarily driven by the incident handler, who coordinates communications between other stakeholders, including system owners, system administrators, and relevant compliance officers.

6.7.3. Questions that are relevant to making a determination about whether data was accessed without authorization include:

      • Suspicious Network Traffic
      • Attacker Access to Data
      • Evidence that Data Was Accessed
      • Length of Compromise
      • Method of Attack
      • Attacker Profile

 

6.8. Recovery

6.8.1. The primary goal of the recovery phase is to restore the compromised host to its normal business function in a safe manner.

6.8.2. The system administrators will remediate the immediate compromise and restore the host to normal function. This is most often performed by reinstalling the compromised host; although if the investigation confirms that the attacker did not have root/administrator access other remediation plans may be effective.

6.8.3. The system administrators will make short-term system, application, and business process changes to prevent further compromise and reduce operating risk.

6.9. Internal Reporting

The final report serves two (2) main purposes.

6.9.1.1. First, a recommendation is made to the and relevant compliance officers as to whether the incident handler and the responsible officials feel there is a reasonable belief that High Risk Data, or Data was subject to accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, or alteration, or unauthorized disclosure or access, and the degree of probability of risks to data subjects or that the security or privacy has been compromised. The report must be made in sufficient time to allow notification, if appropriate, within any legally-mandated time period.

6.9.1.2. Second, a series of mid-term and long-term recommendations are made to the owners of the compromised system/files, including responsible management, suggesting improvements in technology or business process that could reduce operating risk in the future.

6.10. Data Retention

6.10.1. The incident handler will archive the final report in case it is needed for reference in the future; reports must be retained for seven (7) years.

6.10.2. Incident notes should be retained for six (6) months from the date that the report is issued.

This includes the confluence investigation page, processed investigation materials like grepped file-timelines and filtered network-flows, etc.

6.10.3. Raw incident data should be retained for thirty (30) days from the date that the report is issued.

6.10.4. Request Tracker (RT) tickets from the ticketing system related to the investigation should be retained for three (3) years.
