{tableName=glossary, name=NIST SP 800-53 Benefits, description= NIST SP 800-53 Benefits is a set of guidelines developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to help organizations identify, assess, and manage the security risks associated with their information systems. The goal of the guidelines is to provide organizations with a comprehensive set of best practices to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of their information systems. The guidelines are organized into four security control domains: security management, access control, system and communications protection, and system and information integrity. The guidelines provide organizations with a framework for assessing their security risks and implementing appropriate security controls to protect their information systems. The NIST SP 800-53 Benefits guidelines are designed to help organizations reduce the cost of security and increase the effectiveness of their security measures. Additionally, the guidelines help organizations ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations, as well as industry best practices., topic=[{id=97620570515, createdAt=1673040885373, updatedAt=1715624498921, path='nist-sp-800-53', name=' NIST SP 800-53 Security Guide: Protect Your Data', 1='{type=string, value=NIST SP 800-53}', 2='{type=string, value= This guide provides a comprehensive overview of NIST SP 800-53, a security and privacy control framework for federal information systems and organizations.

{tableName=glossary, name=SSAE 16, description= Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements (SSAE) No. 16 is an attestation standard issued by the Auditing Standards Board (ASB) of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). It replaces the previous standard, Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 70, and is used by service organizations to demonstrate their internal controls, processes, and systems are suitably designed and operating effectively. SSAE 16 is a service auditor's attestation that a service organization has been through an in-depth evaluation of their control objectives and control activities, and the results of that evaluation have been reported. It requires the service auditor to obtain an understanding of the service organization's control environment, assess the risk of material misstatement, test the operating effectiveness of the controls, and obtain sufficient appropriate evidence to support the opinion on the design and operating effectiveness of the controls. SSAE 16 also requires management of the service organization to provide written assertions regarding the design and operating effectiveness of the controls. The service auditor must then evaluate the evidence obtained and the assertions made by management, and provide a report that expresses an opinion on the fairness of the presentation of the description of the service organization's system, and the suitability of the design and operating effectiveness of the controls., topic=null, hs_path=ssae-16}--
{tableName=glossary, name=Instant Communications Security And Compliance, description= Instant Communications Security and Compliance is the practice of implementing measures to ensure the security and compliance of digital communications, such as emails, text messages, and other forms of electronic communication. It involves using technologies, processes, and policies to protect data and communications from unauthorized access or alteration. It also involves ensuring that all communications comply with applicable laws and regulations. This includes ensuring that all data is stored securely, that all communications are encrypted, and that all communications are monitored and audited. Additionally, it involves establishing processes to ensure that all communications are compliant with applicable laws and regulations, and that any changes to the system are documented and approved. Finally, it involves providing training to users on how to properly use and protect digital communications., topic=null, hs_path=instant-communications-security-and-compliance}--
{tableName=glossary, name=SOC 2 Audit, description= A SOC 2 Audit is an independent evaluation of a service provider’s information security controls and practices. It is based on the Trust Services Principles and Criteria (TSPC) developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). The audit is performed by a third-party auditor and assesses the design and effectiveness of the service provider’s controls and processes related to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy. The audit also assesses the service provider’s ability to meet the TSPC criteria, which include requirements for the service provider’s technical infrastructure, data security, and customer data protection. The SOC 2 Report is a valuable tool for organizations that are looking to assess the security of their service providers and ensure that they are meeting their security and privacy requirements., topic=null, hs_path=soc-2-audit}--
{tableName=glossary, name=Privilege Escalation, description= Privilege escalation is the act of exploiting a bug, design flaw, or configuration oversight in an operating system or software application to gain elevated access to resources that are normally protected from an ordinary user. It is a type of attack where an attacker with limited access privileges is able to, without authorization, elevate their privileges or access level. Privilege escalation can be used to gain access to files, settings, and other resources that are normally protected from an ordinary user. It can also be used to gain access to more powerful accounts, such as those with administrative or root privileges, which can then be used to launch further attacks on the system. Privilege escalation attacks are usually carried out through exploiting security vulnerabilities in the operating system or application, or by using malicious software, such as malware, to gain access to higher-level accounts., topic=null, hs_path=privilege-escalation}--
