Protective monitoring type
Supplier-defined controls
Protective monitoring approach
The PRIMIS Information Security Management System (certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2013) includes documented approaches to both Risk Management and Incident Response. Risks are routinely monitored with incidents responded to immediately upon identification through a formal Incident Reporting process involving both PRIMIS Senior Management Team and the University of Nottingham's Information Service team as applicable.
Incident management type
Supplier-defined controls
Incident management approach
Anticipated information security/ IT infrastructure events are managed through the ISMS risk Management process. The PRIMIS ISMS Manual sets out the process for reporting of incidents and an Incident Report template is available to PRIMIS team members to report incidents to nominated staff. As well as security incident reporting, a list of automatic nonconformities is communicated to the PRIMIS team and any issue identified from this triggers well-established nonconformity/ corrective action process operating across both the ISMS and the BS EN ISO 9001 certified Quality Management System.
