ISO 27001 Annex : A.12.5 Control of Operational Software

April 23, 2021 info savvy

ISO 27001 Annex : A.12.5 Control of Operational Software Its objective is to ensure operating system integrity.

A.12.5.1 Installation of Software on Operational Systems

Control- To control the installation of software on operating systems, procedures should be implemented.

Implementation Guidance- To control changes in software on operational systems, the following guidelines should be considered:

Trained administrators should only upgrade operational software, applications and libraries upon appropriate management permission;
Only approved executable code and non-developed code or compilers should exist in operating systems;
Usability, safety, effects on other systems and user-friendly functions should only be included after successful and extensive testing; testing should also be conducted on separate systems; ensure that each of the corresponding program source libraries has been updated;
To retain control of all deployed applications as well as system documentation, a configuration control system should be used;
Before introducing changes, a roll-back strategy should be in place;
All changes to operating system libraries should be maintained with an audit log;
Previous product versions must be maintained as a measure of contingency;
For as long as data is retained in the archive, old software versions and all required information and parameters should be archived together with procedures, setup details, and software support.

The software provided by the vendor to operating systems should be maintained at the vendor support level. Software vendors should cease older software versions over time. The organization’s risk of using faulty software should be considered.

Every decision to upgrade to a new release should take account of business changes requirements and the security of the release, for example by introducing new security functions or the number and severity of the security of information problems affecting the release. When it is able to remove or reduce security information vulnerabilities, software patches should be used.

Suppliers can only be provided with physical or logical access for assistance, if necessary, and with management consent. The activities of the supplier should be monitored.

In order to avoid non-authorized changes that may lead to security defects, software can rely on externally provided software and modules to monitor and control.
