What we do @ data64

Contingency Planning Data64 assists organisations in designing contingency plans.

Contingency planning refers to interim measures to recover information system services after a disruption. Interim measures may include relocation of information systems and operations to an alternate site, recovery of information system functions using alternate equipment, or performance of information system functions using manual methods. Information systems are vital elements in most mission/business functions. Because information system resources are so essential to an organization’s success, it is critical that identified services provided by these systems are able to operate effectively without excessive interruption. Contingency planning supports this requirement by establishing thorough plans, procedures, and technical measures that can enable a system to be recovered as quickly and effectively as possible following a service disruption. Contingency planning is unique to each system, providing appropriate preventive measures, recovery strategies, and technical considerations. 7-step process

contingency

planning

1. Develop the contingency planning policy statement. A formal policy provides the authority and guidance necessary to develop an effective contingency plan.

2. Conduct the business impact analysis (BIA). The BIA helps identify and prioritize information systems and components critical to supporting the organization’s mission / business functions. A template for developing the BIA is provided to assist the user. 3. Identify preventive controls. Measures taken to reduce the effects of system disruptions can increase system availability and reduce contingency life cycle costs. 4. Create contingency strategies. Thorough recovery strategies ensure that the system may be recovered quickly and effectively following a disruption. 5. Develop an information system contingency plan. The contingency plan should contain detailed guidance and procedures for restoring a damaged system unique to the

system’s security impact level and recovery requirements. 6. Ensure plan testing, training, and exercises. Testing validates recovery capabilities, whereas training prepares recovery personnel for plan activation and exercising the plan identifies planning gaps; combined, the activities improve plan effectiveness and overall organization preparedness. 7. Ensure plan maintenance. The plan should be a living document that is updated regularly to remain current with system enhancements and organizational changes.

eDiscovery Data64 provides information management consulting for electronic discovery processes. E-discovery is a techno-legal process in which relevant evidence to be produced in a court of law is identified, collected, analyzed and presented from a large set of electronic information. Identification may include various departments, people, computers and files or documents in paper form. Since the e-discovery process may involve huge amounts data and it may be unclear what data is relevant in the beginning of a legal dispute, the identification process should anticipate change and have procedures which can accommodate newly discoverable data. Identification requires thorough investigation and analysis. When a legal duty to preserve data (ediscovery) is initiated, potentially relevant data should be identified and protected in a manner which is legally defensible, proportionate and auditable. Once data has been identified, it has to be collected. Data collection should also be done in a manner which follow the earlier principles of defensibility, proportionability and auditability. After collection, data may require processing with a view to: 1. finding out the exact nature of data identified; 2. record all metadata (in each and every file) prior to processing; and 3. reduce the amount of data that will finally be produced in a court of law by narrowing down the appropriate data for review.

Processing must be such that audit, analysis and validation can be carried out and an appropriate chain of custody maintained. During processing, data has to be converted to more accessible file formats and individual files may be inventoried along with their metadata. After processing, documents have to be reviewed. This is critical since the review process identifies which documents to produce and which documents to hold back. Here, the legal team has a greater role to play and can expect to obtain a better understanding of the facts. Legal strategy is determined and developed based on document review. Analysis is carried out post review and analytical tools used for this purpose have become more sophisticated. Where there is a need to recover deleted or formatted data, integrated cyber forensics tools may also be put to use.

After analysis, data is produced. The production process involves opposite parties meeting and agreeing to which documents should be produced in what format. It then requires involvement of the technical teams to procure the data in the agreed format. Finally, data has to be presented, which is done by lawyers. Although, electronic documents are mostly presented to a court of law in paper form, certain cases, e.g., where multimedia files need to be exhibited, lawyers have to present exhibits in native format. Specific e-discovery processes have already been incorporated into the law in the United States where companies have to comply with such processes.

Digital Forensic Investigation Data64 provides digital forensic and cyber investigation services.

Digital forensics, also known as computer and network forensics, is the application of science to the identification, collection, examination, and analysis of data while preserving the integrity of the information and maintaining a strict chain of custody for the data. Data refers to distinct pieces of digital information that have been formatted in a specific way. Organizations have an ever-increasing amount of data from many sources. For example, data can be stored or transferred by standard computer systems, networking equipment, computing peripherals, personal digital assistants (PDA), consumer electronic devices, and various types of media, among other sources. Digital Forensics Process The process for performing digital forensics comprises the following basic phases: 1. Collection: identifying, labeling, recording, and acquiring data from the possible sources of relevant data, while following procedures that preserve the integrity of the data. 2. Examination: forensically processing collected data using a combination of automated and manual methods, and assessing and extracting data of particular interest, while preserving the integrity of the data. 3. Analysis: analyzing the results of the examination, using legally justifiable methods and techniques, to derive useful information that addresses the questions that were the impetus for

performing the examination.

collection

and

the organization’s policies and all applicable laws and regulations.

4. Reporting: reporting the results of the analysis, which may include describing the actions used, explaining how tools and procedures were selected, determining what other actions need to be performed (e.g., forensic examination of additional data sources, securing identified vulnerabilities, improving existing security controls), and providing recommendations for improvement to policies, procedures, tools, and other aspects of the forensic process.

Organizations should ensure that their policies and procedures support the reasonable and appropriate use of forensic tools.

Integrating Forensic into Incident Response

Techniques

Organizations should ensure that their policies contain clear statements addressing all major forensic considerations, such as contacting law enforcement, performing monitoring, and conducting regular reviews of forensic policies and procedures. Organizations should create and maintain procedures and guidelines for performing forensic tasks, based on

Organizations should ensure that their IT professionals are prepared to participate in forensic activities.

priv64: The primary law for data privacy in India is the Information Technology (Reasonable security practices and procedures and sensitive personal data or information) Rules, 2011 issued by the Central Government in exercise of the powers conferred by clause (ob) of subsection (2) of section 87 read with section 43A of the Information Technology Act, 2000. The data privacy rules define sensitive personal data or information to include passwords, financial information, physical, physiological and mental health condition, sexual orientation, medical records and history and biometric information. Non-compliance with any of the provisions of the data privacy rules is penalized with a compensation /penalty of upto Rs. 25,000 under section 45 of the Information Technology Act.

Additionally, in some cases there may be liability under section 43A of the Information Technology Act. Under the original Information Technology Act, 2000, compensation claims were restricted to Rs. 1 crore. Now claims upto Rs 5 crore are under the jurisdiction of Adjudicating Officers. Claims above Rs 5 crore are under the jurisdiction of the relevant courts. Additionally, in some cases there may be liability under section 72A of the Information Technology Act. This section provides for imprisonment upto 3 years and / or fine upto Rs 5 lakh. Manual compliance with the stringent data privacy laws would not only be extremely time-consuming but also

would require a lot of people and expense. priv64 is a cutting edge technological solution that automates the data privacy legal compliance process. cert64: facilitates 100% compliance with CERT and other reporting requirements. dx64: facilitates real-time, open exchange of data from entities about how and when they are suffering cyber attacks on their systems. This data is analyzed to provide earlywarning of cyber attacks that could bring down critical infrastructure.
