Mini Bundle: Access & Network Security - ENT

The 'Mini Bundle: Access & Network Security - ENT' unites comprehensive policies that collectively address the core elements of organizational cyber defense, access management, network protection, endpoint security, logging and monitoring, and cryptographic controls. Each component is tightly scoped and mapped to international standards, including ISO/IEC 27001:2022, ISO/IEC 27002:2022, NIST SP 800-53 Rev.5, EU GDPR, EU NIS2, EU DORA, and COBIT 2019, ensuring regulatory and audit readiness for enterprise environments. Access control measures dictate the responsibilities and procedures for managing logical and physical access across all user types, asset classes, and lifecycle phases. These controls enforce principles of least privilege and need-to-know, integrating identity provisioning with HR triggers and automating revocation on termination or role change. Approval workflows and regular access reviews ensure that only authorized individuals retain appropriate permissions, and privileged access is managed via dedicated accounts, session logging, and multifactor authentication. Network Security Policy provides a layered approach to securing organizational network assets. Requirements span segmentation, firewall enforcement, secure routing and switching, VPN and remote access controls (including mandatory endpoint posture checks and MFA), wireless network protections (e.g., WPA3, guest isolation, rogue AP detection), and secure cloud/hybrid integration. Traffic is segmented according to defined models separating production, administrative, guest, and external zones, with explicit controls on external connections, routing changes, and integration with third parties. All network activity is logged centrally, facilitating real-time anomaly and threat detection and ensuring audit traceability. The Endpoint Protection / Malware Policy governs defenses for all desktops, laptops, mobile devices, virtual instances, and servers. It enforces enrollment in centrally managed malware defense solutions (EDR, antivirus) featuring real-time, heuristic, and behavioral detection, with auto-quarantine and alert telemetry routed to SOC-managed SIEMs. The policy covers the full malware lifecycle, from detection, quarantine, and eradication to reporting, remote wipe for lost/stolen devices, and proactive threat hunting. USB and removable media are tightly controlled, and all users are required to report abnormal system behavior immediately. Logging and Monitoring Policy mandates that all key systems generate, protect, and retain logs of critical security events, user activity, and administrative actions. Logs are encrypted in transit, protected from tampering, and retained according to regulatory and risk requirements. Clock synchronization (NTP) is enforced across systems for reliable cross-platform event correlation. Centralized SIEM platforms aggregate logs, correlate anomalies, and trigger incident escalation and forensic investigation paths. Compliance teams review both log completeness and integrity and recommend corrective actions for non-conformities. Cryptographic Controls Policy enforces the use of strong, approved encryption algorithms and protocols for all data classified as Confidential, Highly Confidential, or Regulated. Key management follows strict lifecycle controls, secure generation, custody, rotation, revocation, and destruction, backed by role segregation and custodianship registers. Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and TLS enforcement protect communications, with mandated reviews of cryptographic standards driven by emerging threats and compliance updates. Exception requests for legacy or non-standard cryptography require business justification, compensating controls, and CISO approval. All policies in the bundle emphasize formal governance, risk assessment, exception handling, enforcement, and regular review, supporting a proactive security posture in line with the latest international frameworks. There is no reference to SME adaptation in these documents; all role assignments are structured for environments with defined IT, SOC, and security leadership functions. The bundle is suitable for enterprise organizations seeking comprehensive, integrated security controls for networks, access, endpoints, logging, and cryptography.
