Recital - 83.
Security of Processing
Executive Summary
Risk evaluation and risk mitigation such as encryption, VPNs and security infrastructure "by design" are required of Controllers and Processors.
Recital Text
In order to maintain security and to prevent processing in infringement of this Regulation, the controller or processor should evaluate the risks inherent in the processing and implement measures to mitigate those risks, such as encryption. Those measures should ensure an appropriate level of security, including confidentiality, taking into account the state of the art and the costs of implementation in relation to the risks and the nature of the personal data to be protected. In assessing data security risk, consideration should be given to the risks that are presented by personal data processing, such as accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed which may in particular lead to physical, material or non-material damage.
Executive Summary
Identity Access Management processes and procedures should be created to assign and revoke access to all users based on business needs and manager approval. Each user should be given a unique ID to be used and no IDs should be shared.
Access reviews to systems that process or store personal data should be performed at regular intervals to determine if access is still required. Removal or adjustment of rights for users upon termination of contract or change of position should be carried out as soon as possible.
