Information Security and Assurance Requirements Sample Clauses

Information Security and Assurance Requirements. 2.15.1 The DWP requires all IDPs to provide structured and formal assurance of the scope and effectiveness of their IDP and related Trust services, and of the security control measures implemented to protect those services including all personal data held. 2.15.2 In recognition that IDP services are still a maturing industry, the DWP is providing an assurance framework against which IDP security capabilities and assurance assessment regimes may be characterised and asserted to DWP by IDPs, and valued by degrees in the IDP services payment model. 2.15.3 The DWP IDP Security and Assurance Framework (illustrated in the diagram) is built upon a broad foundation of international standard security and assurance. The model adds increasingly specific assurance profiles across a narrower scope at each tier, covering in turn industry, HMG and DWP profiles, guidelines and requirements. 2.15.4 The DWP solution represents the first implementation of the Government Digital Service (GDS) - Identity Assurance Architecture.

IDPs must provide a copy of all current ISO27001 certificates that cover the scope of their IDP and related trust services. 2.15.6 All IDPs are required to provide in their response a summary of their intended ISO 27001 Security Plan. This should provide DWP with some assurance that the scope of their key implemented ISO 27001 security controls will protect their IDP and related trust services, including all personal customer data.
