{tableName=glossary, name=SOC 2 Controls, description= SOC 2 Controls are a set of security and privacy standards and procedures designed to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of customer data. These controls are based on the AICPA's Trust Services Principles and Criteria, and are designed to help organizations protect their customer data and ensure that they are meeting their legal, regulatory, and contractual obligations. The controls cover five core areas: Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy. Organizations must demonstrate that they have implemented the necessary controls to protect customer data and meet the requirements of the Trust Services Principles and Criteria. The SOC 2 report is an independent assessment that is conducted by a third-party auditor and is used to validate an organization's compliance with the SOC 2 Controls., topic=null, hs_path=soc-2-controls}--
{tableName=glossary, name=Money Laundering, description= Money Laundering is the process of disguising illegally obtained funds so they appear to have been obtained from a legitimate source.

{tableName=glossary, name=Business Continuity Plan (BCP), description= A Business Continuity Plan (BCP) is a comprehensive plan that outlines how an organization will respond to, and recover from, a disruption in its operations. This plan identifies potential threats to the organization and the steps that will be taken to minimize the impact of those threats. The plan outlines the procedures that will be implemented in the event of an emergency, including the roles and responsibilities of staff, the resources that will be needed to manage the situation, and the timeline for restoring operations. Additionally, a BCP may also include strategies for communicating with customers, vendors, and other stakeholders during the disruption. The goal of a BCP is to ensure that the organization can quickly and effectively respond to any disruption and continue to provide the services and products that customers expect., topic=null, hs_path=business-continuity-plan-bcp}--
{tableName=glossary, name=Risk Mitigation, description= Risk mitigation is the process of identifying, assessing, and reducing the potential for negative impacts of risks to an organization's objectives. It involves developing strategies to manage the risks and implementing those strategies to reduce the likelihood of their occurrence and/or the severity of their impact. Risk mitigation strategies can include risk avoidance, risk transfer, risk sharing, risk reduction, risk acceptance, and risk control. Risk avoidance involves eliminating or avoiding activities or situations that could result in the risk. Risk transfer involves transferring the risk to another party, such as an insurance company, who will assume the risk in exchange for a fee. Risk sharing involves sharing the risk between parties, such as when two companies form a joint venture. Risk reduction involves reducing the likelihood of the risk occurring or the severity of its impact. Risk acceptance involves accepting the risk and taking no action to reduce it. Risk control involves implementing measures to reduce the risk, such as implementing safety protocols or installing security systems., topic=[{id=97620570509, createdAt=1673040885334, updatedAt=1683947919413, path='enterprise-risk-management', name=' Enterprise Risk Management Guide: A Comprehensive Guide', 1='{type=string, value=Enterprise Risk Management}', 2='{type=string, value= This guide provides an overview of Enterprise Risk Management and its processes, enabling you to develop a risk management strategy and plan for your organization.

{tableName=glossary, name=ISO/IEC 27001 Certification Requirements, description= ISO/IEC 27001 Certification Requirements are a set of international standards developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) to help organizations protect their information assets. The standards provide a framework to ensure that organizations have appropriate controls, processes, and procedures in place to protect their information assets. The standards are divided into two parts: the ISO/IEC 27001 standard, which outlines the requirements for an information security management system (ISMS), and the ISO/IEC 27002 standard, which provides detailed guidance on how to implement the requirements. The ISO/IEC 27001 standard requires organizations to have a documented ISMS that covers all aspects of their information security, including risk assessments, policies and procedures, and organizational structures. The standard also requires organizations to have a documented process for regularly monitoring and assessing the effectiveness of their ISMS. Organizations must also have procedures in place to respond to security incidents, as well as to ensure that their ISMS is continuously improved. Finally, organizations must demonstrate that their ISMS meets the requirements of the ISO/IEC 27001 standard through independent third-party certification., topic=[{id=97620570500, createdAt=1673040885276, updatedAt=1684824913644, path='iso-27001', name=' ISO 27001 Guide: A Comprehensive Guide', 1='{type=string, value=ISO 27001}', 2='{type=string, value=This guide provides a comprehensive overview of the ISO 27001 standard, including the requirements, implementation, and certification.
