security policies for PHPS
staff access rights to information
Principle of Least Privilege: Granting employees only the minimum level of access necessary to perform their job functions, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Assigning access based on user roles within the organization, ensuring that individuals have access only to the data and systems relevant to their responsibilities.
Regular Access Reviews: Conducting periodic reviews of user access rights to ensure they are up to date and revoke access for employees who no longer need it (e.g., after role changes or departures).
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Implementing MFA for sensitive systems or data to add an extra layer of security, ensuring that access is verified through multiple factors.
Audit Trails and Monitoring: Maintaining logs of access and user activity to monitor for unusual behavior or unauthorized attempts to access systems, helping to detect and prevent security breaches.
disaster recovery
Data Backup and Redundancy: Regularly backing up critical data and ensuring it is stored securely in multiple locations to prevent data loss in case of a disaster.
Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO): Defining and setting clear targets for how quickly systems and data should be restored (RTO) and how much data loss is acceptable (RPO) during a disaster.
Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP): Developing and maintaining a comprehensive plan that outlines procedures, roles, and resources needed to recover from various types of disasters, including natural and cyber-related events.
Testing and Drills: Regularly testing the disaster recovery plan through drills to ensure it works effectively and that all team members are familiar with their roles during an actual disaster.
Cloud and Offsite Solutions: Leveraging cloud services or offsite storage to ensure that critical infrastructure and data are accessible even if physical locations are compromised during a disaster.
information security
Confidentiality: Ensuring that sensitive information is only accessible to authorized individuals or systems.
Integrity: Maintaining the accuracy and consistency of data, ensuring that it is not altered or tampered with without proper authorization.
Availability: Ensuring that information and resources are accessible and usable when needed by authorized users.
Authentication: Verifying the identity of users, devices, or systems to ensure that they are who they claim to be.
Non-repudiation: Guaranteeing that actions or transactions cannot be denied by the involved parties, ensuring accountability.
Staff
training
Phishing Awareness: Educating staff on how to recognize and avoid phishing emails and scams to prevent data breaches and malware infections.
Password Security: Teaching the importance of strong, unique passwords and the use of multi-factor authentication (MFA) to protect accounts and systems.
Data Handling Protocols: Training staff on proper handling, storage, and disposal of sensitive data to ensure compliance with privacy regulations and prevent leaks.
Incident Response Procedures: Ensuring employees understand how to report security incidents and breaches promptly to mitigate damage and reduce response time.
Security Best Practices: Promoting safe use of devices, secure browsing habits, and regular software updates to prevent vulnerabilities and strengthen overall security posture.
