INTERNAL SECURITY DIRECTIVE
Context: This directive mandates controls to reduce insider misuse risk and improve governance over authorized-access boundaries after Van Buren clarified limits of certain CFAA theories. It applies to sensitive data systems and associated response workflows.
Directive: Effective immediately, sensitive-system access shall use least-privilege controls with periodic recertification and monitored query activity. Insider-risk escalation workflows to legal and HR are mandatory for defined triggers. Exceptions require CISO approval and documented mitigation with revisit date. Compliance baseline and remediation plans are due by December 15, 2021.
Accountability and Deadlines: System and security owners are responsible for implementation and evidence quality. Governance teams oversee exception tracking and directive compliance. Reporting cadence is biweekly during rollout; unresolved critical deficiencies escalate to executive risk governance.
