Cyber Risk Management
Information is a valuable asset and access to it must be managed with care to ensure that confidentiality, integrity and availability are maintained.
To understand the likelihood and impact of its information security risks, the SKEDMIA has developed a risk management framework. This framework is employed to ensure that the risks associated with any particular asset or activity are consistently measured and addressed.
1 Scope
The information security risk management framework and its supporting controls, processes and procedures apply to all assets owned, working with and operated by the SKEDMIA.
The information security risk management framework and its supporting controls, processes and procedures also apply to all individuals who have access to SKEDMIA and technologies, including external parties that provide information processing services to the SKEDMIA
2 Objectives
This policy, its associated procedures, processes and guidance provide a common framework, methodology and organised approach to information security risk management across the SKEDMIA. This ensures that risk can be understood in a reliable and consistent manner.
The SKEDMIA’S information risk management objectives are that:
- All our information risks are identified and assessed.
- All identified risks are managed and treated in line with the SKEDMIA’S risk appetite.
- Appropriate information security controls are put in place and maintained across all of the SKEDMIA’S information assets.
- To align with information security industry best practices and standards, such as ISO/IEC 27000:2018.
3 Risk Management Methodology
Information security risks are managed in line with the SKEDMIA’S Risk Management Manual and governance, as described below.
Along with this, information security risks are identified, managed, assessed and treated using methodologies from ISO/IEC 27005:2018 and NIST SP 800 30 where appropriate.
The Risk Management Framework outlines how these individual methodologies are employed to ensure the management of information security risk is comprehensive, appropriate and consistent.
4 Risk Appetite
Risk appetite is the level of tolerance the SKEDMIA has for threats and vulnerabilities. The SKEDMIA has a stated low appetite for mission critical risks, however, in order to conduct research and continue to attract high quality students, the SKEDMIA has to experiment and innovate in both activities with a degree of risk attached.
IT Services underpin and enable many activities and IT Services’ appetite for risk reflects the overall SKEDMIA approach: For mission critical or high importance services, IT Services has a low risk appetite. For medium or low importance services, IT Services has a moderate risk appetite..
In all cases where risk is tolerated or transferred it will need to be documented, justified and approved, by an appropriate staff member.
5 Risk Management Framework
The Risk Management Framework outlines each step of the information security risk lifecycle, including how risks are identified, assessed, treated, monitored, reviewed and reported.
This framework defines how information security risks are practically measured and managed, ensuring consistently.
6 Risk Registers
The results of various risk assessments, including the high level annual information security risk assessment will be recorded and tracked in the Information Security Risk Register.
Where relevant and appropriate, risks will be communicated to departments and faculties to be logged, tracked and escalated in their local risk registers.
The content and structure of various risk registers are detailed in the Risk Management Framework.
7 Policy Development and Implementation
The effectiveness of the policy and the information security risk framework will be continually measured to ensure they are fit for purpose, consistent and sustainable.
This will be performed through an annual review of the framework’s effectiveness in line with the attributes mentioned above. The policy will be updated to reflect any approved change to the framework.
