{tableName=glossary, name=SSAE 18, description= Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements (SSAE) No. 18 is an attestation standard issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). It defines the requirements for attestation engagements performed by a service auditor, and is applicable to service organizations that provide services to user entities. The standard provides guidance for service auditors on how to plan and perform an attestation engagement, and how to report on the results of the engagement. It is intended to replace the Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 70, which is the previous standard for service organization attestation engagements. SSAE 18 requires a service auditor to obtain an understanding of the service organization's system and its controls, assess the risks associated with the system, determine the nature, timing and extent of the tests to be performed, and evaluate the design and operating effectiveness of the controls. The service auditor must also issue an opinion on the fairness of the description of the service organization's system and the suitability of the design and operating effectiveness of the controls. The opinion must include a description of the tests performed and the results of the tests., topic=null, hs_path=ssae-18}--

{tableName=glossary, name=Incident Lifecycle, description= The incident lifecycle is the process of managing and responding to incidents in an organized and systematic way. It includes identification, containment, investigation, resolution, and recovery phases. During the identification phase, potential incidents are identified and classified. In the containment phase, the incident is contained and the risk of further damage is minimized. During the investigation phase, the incident is investigated in order to determine the root cause and any potential vulnerabilities that may have been exploited. The resolution phase involves implementing the necessary corrective action to prevent the incident from occurring again. Finally, the recovery phase involves restoring the affected systems and services to their pre-incident state. The incident lifecycle is an important part of incident response, as it provides a structured approach to ensure that incidents are handled in a timely and effective manner., topic=[{id=97620570528, createdAt=1673040885452, updatedAt=1683947994134, path='cybersecurity-risk-management', name=' Cybersecurity Risk Management: A Guide for Businesses', 1='{type=string, value=Cybersecurity Risk Management}', 2='{type=string, value= This guide provides essential information on cyber security risk management, including how to identify, assess, and mitigate risks to your organization's data and systems.
