C3.2
Repository has implemented controls to adequately address each of the defined security needs.
The repository must show how it has dealt with its security requirements. If some types of material are more likely to be attacked, the repository will need to provide more protection, for instance.
This is necessary in order to ensure that controls are in place to meet the security needs of the repository.
ISO 17799 certification; system control list; risk, threat, or control analyses; addition of controls based on ongoing risk detection and assessment.
Repositories that have experienced incidents could record such instances, including the times when systems or content were affected and describe procedures that have been put in place to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
C3.3
Repository staff have delineated roles, responsibilities, and authorizations related to implementing changes within the system.
The repository must assign individuals to be responsible for implementing changes within the system and provide them with the authority and resources to implement such changes.
This is necessary in order to ensure that individuals have the authority to implement changes, that adequate resources have been assigned for the effort, and that the responsible individuals will be accountable for implementing such changes.
ISO 17799 certification; organizational chart; system authorization documentation.
Authorizations are about who can do what—who can add users, who has access to change metadata, who can get at audit logs. It is important that authorizations are justified, that staff understand what they are authorized to do, and that there is a consistent view of this across the organization.
.
C3.4
Repository has suitable written disaster preparedness and recovery plan(s), including at least one off-site backup of all preserved information together with an offsite copy of the recovery plan(s).
The repository must have a written plan with some approval process for what happens in specific types of disaster (fire, flood, system compromise, etc.) and for who has responsibility for actions.
This is necessary in order to ensure that sufficient backup and recovery capabilities are in place to facilitate continuing preservation of and access to systems and their content with limited disruption of services.
ISO 17799 certification; disaster and recovery plans; information about and proof of at least one off-site copy of preserved information; service continuity plan; documentation linking roles with activities; local geological, geographical, or meteorological data or threat assessments.
The level of detail in a disaster plan, and the specific risks addressed need to be appropriate to the repository’s location and service expectations. Fire is an almost universal concern, but earthquakes may not require specific planning at all locations. The disaster plan must, however, deal with unspecified situations that would have specific consequences, such as lack of access to a building.
