13. System and Password Policy

All users, including contractors and vendors with access to «KitschÀ l’Os… ou pas» systems, are responsible for taking the appropriate steps, as outlined below, to select and secure their passwords.

A system configuration standard must be developed along industry acceptable hardening standards (SANS, NIST, ISO)
System configurations should be updated as new issues are identified (as defined in PCI DSS requirement 6.1)
System configurations must include common security parameter settings
The systems configuration standard should be applied to any news systems configured.
All vendor default accounts and passwords for the systems have to be changed at the time of provisioning the system/device into «KitschÀ l’Os… ou pas» network and all unnecessary services and user/system accounts have to be disabled.
All unnecessary default accounts must be removed or disabled before installing a system on the network.
Security parameter settings must me set appropriately on System components
All unnecessary functionality (scripts, drivers, features, subsystems, file systems, web servers etc.,) must be removed.
All unnecessary services, protocols, daemons etc., should be disabled if not in use by the system.
Any insecure protocols, daemons, services in use must be documented and justified.
All users with access to card holder data must have a unique ID.
All user must use a password to access «KitschÀ l’Os… ou pas» network or any other electronic resources
All user ID’s for terminated users must be deactivated or removed immediately.
The User ID will be locked out if there are more than 5 unsuccessful attempts. This locked account can only be enabled by the system administrator. Locked out user accounts will be disabled for a minimum period of 30 minutes or until the administrator enables the account.
All system and user level passwords must be changed on at least a quarterly basis.
A minimum password history of four must be implemented.
A unique password must be setup for new users and the users prompted to change the password on first login.
Group, shared or generic user account or password or other authentication methods must not be used to administer any system components.
Where SNMP is used, the community strings must be defined as something other than the

Standard defaults of "public," "private" and "system" and must be different from the passwords used to log in interactively.

All non-console administrative access will use appropriate technologies like ssh,vpn etc or strong encryption is invoked before the administrator password is requested
System services and parameters will be configured to prevent the use of insecure technologies like telnet and other insecure remote login commands
Administrator access to web based management interfaces is encrypted using strong cryptography.
The responsibility of selecting a password that is hard to guess generally falls to users. A strong password must:

Be as long as possible (never shorter than 6 characters).
Include mixed-case letters, if possible.
Include digits and punctuation marks, if possible.
Not be based on any personal information.
Not be based on any dictionary word, in any language.

If an operating system without security features is used (such as DOS, Windows or MacOS), then an intruder only needs temporary physical access to the console to insert a keyboard monitor program. If the workstation is not physically secured, then an intruder can reboot even a secure operating system, restart the workstation from his own media, and insert the offending program.
To protect against network analysis attacks, both the workstation and server should be cryptographically secured. Examples of strong protocols are the encrypted Netware login and Kerberos.

14. Anti-virus policy

All machines must be configured to run the latest anti-virus software as approved by «KitschÀ l’Os… ou pas». The preferred application to use is XXXX Anti-Virus software, which must be configured to retrieve the latest updates to the antiviral program automatically on a daily basis.

All hosts that are connected to «KitschÀ l’Os… ou pas» internal networks via remote access technologies will be monitored on a regular basis.
All remote access accounts used by vendors or 3rd parties will be reconciled at regular interviews and the accounts will be revoked if there is no further business justification.
Vendor accounts with access to «KitschÀ l’Os… ou pas» network will only be enabled during the time period the access is required and will be disabled or removed once access is no longer required.

17. Vulnerability Management Policy

All the vulnerabilities would be assigned a risk ranking such as High, Medium and Low based on industry best practices such as CVSS base score.
As part of the PCI-DSS Compliance requirements, «KitschÀ l’Os… ou pas» will run internal and external network vulnerability scans at least quarterly and after any significant change in the network (such as new system component installations, changes in network topology, firewall rule modifications, product upgrades).
Quarterly internal vulnerability scans must be performed by «KitschÀ l’Os… ou pas» by internal staff or a 3rd party vendor and the scan process has to include that rescans will be done until passing results are obtained, or all High vulnerabilities as defined in PCI DSS Requirement 6.2 are resolved.
Quarterly external vulnerability scans must be performed by an Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV) qualified by PCI SSC. Scans conducted after network changes may be performed by «KitschÀ l’Os… ou pas»’s internal staff. The scan process should include re-scans until passing results are obtained.

18. Configuration standards:

Information systems that process transmit, or store card holder data must be configured in accordance with the applicable standard for that class of device or system. Standards must be written and maintained by the team responsible for the management of the system in conjunction with the Information Security Office.
All network device configurations must adhere to «KitschÀ l’Os… ou pas» required standards before being placed on the network as specified in «KitschÀ l’Os… ou pas» configuration guide. Using this guide, a boilerplate configuration has been created that will be applied to all network devices before being placed on the network.
Before being deployed into production, a system must be certified to meet the applicable configuration standard
Updates to network device operating system and/or configuration settings that fall under «KitschÀ l’Os… ou pas» standards are announced by the Information security Office. Updates must be applied within the time frame identified by the Information security Office.
Administrators of network devices that do not adhere to «KitschÀ l’Os… ou pas» standards (as identified via a previous exception) must document and follow a review process of announced vendor updates to operating system and/or configuration settings. This process must include a review schedule, risk analysis method and update method.
All network device configurations must be checked annually against the configuration boilerplate to ensure the configuration continues to meet required standards.
Where possible, network configuration management software will be used to automate the process of confirming adherence to the boilerplate configuration.
For other devices an audit will be performed quarterly to compare the boilerplate configuration to the configuration currently in place.
All discrepancies will be evaluated and remediated by Network Administration.

19. Change control Process

Changes to information resources shall be managed and executed according to a formal change control process. The control process will ensure that changes proposed are reviewed, authorised, tested, implemented, and released in a controlled manner; and that the status of each proposed change is monitored.
The change control process shall be formally defined and documented. A change control process shall be in place to control changes to all critical company information resources (such as hardware, software, system documentation and operating procedures). This documented process shall include management responsibilities and procedures. Wherever practicable, operational and application change control procedures should be integrated.
All change requests shall be logged whether approved or rejected on a standardised and central system. The approval of all change requests and the results thereof shall be documented. A documented audit trail, maintained at a Business Unit Level, containing relevant information shall be maintained at all times. This should include change request documentation, change authorisation and the outcome of the change. No single person should be able to effect changes to production information systems without the approval of other authorised personnel.
A risk assessment shall be performed for all changes and dependant on the outcome, an impact assessment should be performed.
The impact assessment shall include the potential effect on other information resources and potential cost implications. The impact assessment should, where applicable consider compliance with legislative requirements and standards.
All change requests shall be prioritised in terms of benefits, urgency, effort required and potential impact on operations.
Changes shall be tested in an isolated, controlled, and representative environment (where such an environment is feasible) prior to implementation to minimise the effect on the relevant business process, to assess its impact on operations and security and to verify that only intended and approved changes were made. (For more information see System Development Life Cycle [citation here]).
Any software change and/or update shall be controlled with version control. Older versions shall be retained in accordance with corporate retention and storage management policies. (For more information see System Development Life Cycle [citation here])
All changes shall be approved prior to implementation. Approval of changes shall be based on formal acceptance criteria i.e. the change request was done by an authorised user, the impact assessment was performed and proposed changes were tested.
All users, significantly affected by a change, shall be notified of the change. The user representative shall sign-off on the change. Users shall be required to make submissions and comment prior to the acceptance of the change.
Implementation will only be undertaken after appropriate testing and approval by stakeholders. All major changes shall be treated as new system implementation and shall be established as a project. Major changes will be classified according to effort required to develop and implement said changes. (For more information see System Development Life Cycle [citation here])
Procedures for aborting and recovering from unsuccessful changes shall be documented. Should the outcome of a change be different to the expected result (as identified in the testing of the change), procedures and responsibilities shall be noted for the recovery and continuity of the affected areas. Fall back procedures will be in place to ensure systems can revert back to what they were prior to implementation of changes.
Information resources documentation shall be updated on the completion of each change and old documentation shall be archived or disposed of as per the documentation and data retention policies.
Specific procedures to ensure the proper control, authorisation, and documentation of emergency changes shall be in place. Specific parameters will be defined as a standard for classifying changes as Emergency changes.
All changes will be monitored once they have been rolled-out to the production environment. Deviations from design specifications and test results will be documented and escalated to the solution owner for ratification.
