Mapped requirements (3)
  • A.5.26 · Reaktion auf Informationssicherheitsvorfälle (DE)

  • A.5.27 · Erkenntnisse aus Informationssicherheitsvorfällen (DE)

    Supporting contribution

    Review connects causes, types, frequency and costs to changes in risks, safeguards, procedures and briefings and their effect. An archived review alone is insufficient.

  • A.5.28 · Sammlung von Beweismaterial (DE)

    The work connects authority, preservation suitable for the medium and state, origin, integrity checks, protected storage and traceable transfers. Competent acquisition and case-specific legal admissibility still require checking.
