Data Security Standards
- Data Encryption: All sensitive data must be encrypted both in transit and at rest.
- Access Control: Role-based access control (RBAC) should be implemented to limit access to resources based on user roles.
- Data Masking: Masking techniques should be used for non-production environments.
- Data Retention Policy: Data retention policies should be followed to ensure compliance and minimize storage costs.
Network Security Standards
- Firewall Configuration: Strict firewall rules should be implemented to control network traffic.
- Intrusion Detection/Prevention Systems (IDS/IPS): Implement IDS/IPS solutions to monitor for and prevent malicious activity.
- VPN Usage: VPNs should be used for remote access to internal networks.
- Regular Security Audits: Conduct regular security audits to identify and address vulnerabilities.
Application Security Standards
- Secure Coding Practices: Developers must follow secure coding practices to prevent vulnerabilities.
- Vulnerability Scanning: Regularly scan applications for vulnerabilities.
- Web Application Firewall (WAF): Implement a WAF to protect against web application attacks.
- Dependency Management: Keep software dependencies up to date to patch security vulnerabilities.
