Policy template

Operate IT and sites securely.

Bring operational rules together and connect existing inventories, work instructions and recovery plans. Includes explained fields and an editing guide.

Cover of IT operations policy template for systems and sites
  • Define operational responsibilities, site protection and secure configuration.
  • Manage networks, keys, logging and backups through existing procedures.
  • Keep classification, deletion runs and recovery at their authoritative sources.

Implementation measure

Assess and address technical vulnerabilities

Mapped requirements (1)
  • A.8.8 · Management von technischen Schwachstellen (DE)

    Supporting contribution

    The workflow connects suitable vulnerability information to actual inventory and risk, appropriate remediation and result checking. It does not replace technical assessment or remediation on the system.

Further framework mappings of this measure
  • TISAX · 5.2.5

    VDA ISA 6.0.3 · Partial contribution

    Reports, inventory matching, assessment, patch treatment and result checking support this ISA question. Actual systems, technical measures and additional requirements must be addressed operationally.

Implementation measure

Collect and analyse logs securely

Mapped requirements (3)

Implementation measure

Control access to secure areas

Mapped requirements (2)
  • A.7.1 · Physische Sicherheitsperimeter (DE)

    Supporting contribution

    The workflow determines physical boundaries from protection needs, checks their continuous construction including other openings and maintains responsibility and changes in the existing plan.

  • A.7.2 · Physischer Zutritt (DE)

    Supporting contribution

    Access rights and keys are issued, reviewed, changed and revoked. Visitors and deliveries use suitable controlled routes with instructions, supervision and protected appropriate evidence.

Further framework mappings of this measure
  • TISAX · 3.1.1

    VDA ISA 6.0.3 · Partial contribution

    The plan, access rules and walkthrough support site assessment. Other requirements and the assessment scope need separate evaluation.

Implementation measure

Maintain operating procedures with your systems

Mapped requirements (4)
  • A.5.37 · Dokumentierte Betriebsverfahren (DE)

    Supporting contribution

    Existing procedures are completed for necessary activities, kept accessible, checked in use and updated under control.

  • A.8.9 · Konfigurationsmanagement (DE)

    Supporting contribution

    Secure baselines and actual configurations are connected to existing systems. Technical enforcement and correction remain operational work.

  • A.8.1 · Endbenutzergeräte (DE)

    Supporting contribution

    The workflow connects device inventory with permitted use, implemented secure settings, protection, user awareness and loss or incident reporting. BYOD follows the authoritative rules.

  • A.8.7 · Schutz vor Schadsoftware (DE)

    Supporting contribution

    Safeguards are implemented and kept current and functional across actual devices and transfer paths. User awareness, justified exceptions and response procedures complement software.

Implementation measure

Operate network connections securely

Mapped requirements (4)

Implementation measure

Protect utilities and cabling during operation and maintenance

Mapped requirements (3)
Further framework mappings of this measure
  • TISAX · 3.1.3

    VDA ISA 6.0.3 · Partial contribution

    The workflow addresses protection during maintenance and repair of supporting assets. Other lifecycle phases and specific protection requirements remain separate.

  • TISAX · 5.2.8

    VDA ISA 6.0.3 · Partial contribution

    Utility dependencies and suitable alternatives contribute to ICT continuity when related to business objectives and tested. This does not establish complete continuity planning and recovery.

Implementation measure

Set up and check site protection

Mapped requirements (5)
Further framework mappings of this measure
  • TISAX · 3.1.1

    VDA ISA 6.0.3 · Partial contribution

    The work supplements zoning and entry procedures with actual protection of rooms and infrastructure and known behaviour rules. Other ISA zoning, visitor and protection-need requirements still require separate checking.

Implementation measure

Transfer and retire devices and media securely

Mapped requirements (3)
Further framework mappings of this measure
  • TISAX · 3.1.3

    VDA ISA 6.0.3 · Partial contribution

    The workflow supports handling during transport, storage, repair, loss, return and disposal of supporting assets. Actual implementation and specific ISA requirements, such as disposal standards for high protection needs, are not established in full.
