Staffcop helps to comply with
ISO 27001
Staffcop Enterprise can significantly help you meet ISO 27001 demands. The flexibility of settings makes it perfect to fit any Information Security Management System (ISMS). PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) cycle lies in the core of the standard, so let’s take it with Staffcop step-by-step.
-
PlanAt this stage you should establish the internal policy of the company regulating creation and distribution of information (ISMS) within and beyond the company. The corporate information and access to it should be classified and divided with different access rights for different groups of employees. For example, your employees should work only with a limited number of web-sites and applications, the PC of the secretary is the only one which can print documents and the sales department is the only department with access to the customers’ database. -
DoThe implementation is done through creating a number of fully customized filters and policies. It’s all carried out in the administrative interface of Staffcop to be applied on the workstations. The policies and filters can be easily modified at any moment. Staffcop is deployed in your corporate network and it doesn’t send any data outside providing high level of information security. It can work in closed networks, the ones that don’t have internet connection. -
CheckThe monitoring is carried out in the same administrative interface. A number of administrators can be assigned access right corresponding to the level of the responsibility they carry. For example, each head of a department can monitor information on PCs belonging to his or her department. The alerts on violations of ISMS will be sent to the specified e-mail addresses, be it a security officer or the company owner. Documents can be easily searched for classified information, and if it’s contained in images or PDF, the text will be recognized. -
ActStaffcop Enterprise can track huge amount of information that can be used to analyze user behavior and estimate. Use pre-set and customized reports to analyze data and visualize the resulting output. There are quite handy embedded tools, such as heat map and anomalies detector that could help you track behavior trends and deviations. With experience gained and data collected the ISMS should be corrected in a corresponding way, which means both organizational means and configuring of Staffcop polices.
