Login and Monitoring Policy
Purpose: The purpose of this login and monitoring policy is to establish guidelines and
procedures for the secure login and monitoring of access to the organization's network and
information systems. This policy applies to all employees, contractors, channel Partner and
third-party vendors who have access to the organization's network resources.
Secure Login:
- Users must have unique login credentials (username and password) to access the organization's network and information systems.
- Passwords must adhere to strong password requirements, including a minimum length, complexity, and regular password changes.
- Multi-factor authentication (MFA) should be implemented where possible for additional login security.
- User accounts that are no longer needed or inactive must be disabled or deleted promptly.
User Access Control:
- Access to network resources will be granted based on the principle of least privilege. Users will only be given access to the network and information systems necessary to perform their job functions.
- Access rights should be reviewed regularly and adjusted as needed based on changes in job roles or responsibilities.
- Role-based access controls (RBAC) should be implemented to ensure users have appropriate privileges based on their roles.
Logging and Monitoring:
- Logs of user login attempts, network activities, and system events must be generated and retained for a defined period.
- Monitoring tools and procedures will be implemented to detect and respond to unauthorized access attempts, suspicious activities, and potential security breaches.
- Administrators should regularly review logs and investigate any anomalies or security incidents promptly.
- Network monitoring should include real-time alerts to notify administrators of any critical security events or breaches.
Incident Response and Reporting:
- An incident response plan will be developed, documented, and periodically tested to ensure an effective response to security incidents.
- All users should be trained on how to report security incidents promptly to the appropriate IT or security personnel.
- Security incidents, suspicious activities, or unauthorized access attempts should be reported, documented, and investigated in accordance with the incident response plan.
Third-Party Access:
- Third-party vendors or contractors who require access to the organization's network resources must follow the same login and monitoring policies and procedures as employees.
- Authorization and access for third-party users should be administered and monitored by the organization's IT or security teams.
- Third-party access should be granted based on the principle of least privilege, and access rights should be reviewed regularly.
Training and Awareness:
- All employees, contractors, and third-party users should receive proper training on secure login practices, password management, and the importance of monitoring and reporting security incidents.
- Regular awareness programs should be conducted to educate users about potential security risks, social engineering tactics, email phishing, and other relevant security topics.
Review and Update: This login and monitoring policy will be reviewed at least annually or as
needed to ensure it remains current and effective. Any updates or modifications to the
policy will be documented, communicated to all relevant parties, and enforced.
By implementing and adhering to this login and monitoring policy, we aim to ensure secure
access to the organization's network resources, protect against unauthorized access, and
promptly detect and respond to security incidents.
