Operational security
| Configuration and change management standard | Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402 |
| Configuration and change management approach |
The operational change control procedure considers the following: • The identification and documentation of planned change. • An assessment process of change impact. • Change testing in an approved non-production environment. • Change communication plan. • Change management approval process. In particular, the following items are in scope: • Identification of significant changes. • Planning and testing of changes. • Assessment of potential impacts, including security • Approval procedure for changes. • Communication of change details. • Fallback procedures • Validation and acceptance of each change Microsoft uses a ticketing system for incidents and requests and a change management system |
| Vulnerability management type | Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402 |
| Vulnerability management approach |
1. Identification – System and security alerts may be harvested, correlated, and analyzed. 2. Containment – The escalation team evaluates the scope and impact of an incident. 3. Eradication – After the situation is contained, the escalation team moves toward eradicating any damage caused by the security breach and identifies the root cause of the security breach. 4. Recovery – During recovery, software or configuration updates are applied to the system and services are returned to a full working capacity. 5. Lessons Learned – Each security incident is analyzed to ensure the appropriate mitigations are applied to protect against reoccurrence. |
| Protective monitoring type | Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402 |
