ESPs - Security Issues
Across
- 4. ESPs should have robust disaster recovery plans to quickly restore data and services after incidents like system failures or natural disasters, minimising downtime and data loss.
- 5. Contracts should clearly outline ESP responsibility for data breaches, including obligations for breach notification, remediation, and compensation to mitigate impacts on the organisation.
- 6. Data should be encrypted both at rest and in transit to safeguard against interception or unauthorised access, particularly when sensitive information is stored or transferred.
Down
- 1. ESPs are often liable for data loss or damage, and agreements should define compensation and recovery measures to ensure data integrity and continuity.
- 2. ESPs must meet agreed security standards to protect sensitive data. Organisations should define these obligations in service agreements, covering aspects like access controls and data handling.
- 3. ESPs must comply with privacy laws (e.g., GDPR) to protect personal data. This includes limitations on data access and handling to prevent unauthorised use or disclosure.
