As previously mentioned<\/a>, we have updated the SPF Compliance Checklist to make it suitable for use with Version 7 of the Security Policy Framework released a few weeks ago.<\/p>\n

The new checklist is now available for free download<\/a> from our security resources section<\/a> and provides you with the relevant audit points to assess compliance with the 20 mandatory requirements of the SPF v7.<\/p>\n

Although the significant reduction in mandatory requirements (down from 68 in version 6) appears to be a major change, in the majority of cases these have been merged with others rather than removed. At a high level, there does not appear to be any relaxation of security controls, instead they are more logically grouped.<\/p>\n

One of the downsides of this\u00a0reorganisation\u00a0of the framework is that it is now harder to get a granular feel for your compliance with the requirements. Previous mandatory requirements were fairly straightforward and had a 1:1 relationship with an audit control. Now, most of the mandatory requirements have 4 – 6 audit points that have to be assessed to determine compliance.<\/p>\n

As we are aware that some organisations are still contractually bound to using the older version of the SPF, we have left the previous version of the checklist online<\/a>. You can also use these two documents to assist with any gap analysis work to determine how the change may impact your organisation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
