Why is Compliance Important?
• Compliance provides a baseline posture from which we can build more mature process and controls
• Compliance provides standards
• Compliance helps to lower risk
• Compliance helps to improve the quality of work
• Compliance helps to mitigate potential penalties
7
What Do We Need To Comply With?
• Depending on where you are within Harvard, you may need to comply with one or several of the following policies/standards:
– HIPAA
– FERPA
– PCI
– Massachusetts 201 CMR 17
– Harvard Information Security Policy
– Harvard Research Data Security Policy
– Contractual Obligations
8
What Can We Measure?
• Government Compliance– FISMA, NIST, DISA STIG, CERT
• Regulatory Compliance– HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), FERPA
• Corporate (Institutional) Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC)
– Institutional Policy, PCI, ISO 27001
And…• Harvard Security Policy

How Is Measurement Accomplished?
• Tenable Security Center Vulnerability Scanning– Used to measure systems for vulnerabilities in Operating Systems and
common applications
– Uses credentialed scans to unobtrusively log into systems to analyze patch status
• Tenable Security Center Compliance Scanning– Uses industry standard or custom audit files to measure system
configurations
– Uses credentialed scans to unobtrusively log into systems

What Are The First Steps?• Measuring systems that store or process HRCI (PII) against 10 points of
the HEISP:– Private IP addressing
– Host-based firewall
– Vulnerability Scanning and Patching program
– External logging (Splunk)
– Active, up-to-date Anti-Virus software
– Unique credentials, default passwords changed, shared accounts disabled
– Password length and complexity
– Brute force credential lock-outs
– Logging of successful and unsuccessful login attempts
29
What Are The Next Steps?
• Establish a process for ongoing compliance scanning, reporting and remediation
• Expand the service offering to comply with other regulatory standards
– HIPAA
– PCI
• Define standard build audit files to scan for deviation
