Information Security Policy

CENTRIC IT SOLUTIONS ROMANIA’s current strategic business plan and risk management framework provide the context for identifying, assessing, evaluating and controlling information-related risks through the establishment and maintenance of an ISMS. The Risk Assessment, Statement of Applicability and Risk Treatment Plan identify how information-related risks are controlled. Local Security Officer is responsible for the management and maintenance of the risk treatment plan. Additional risk assessments may, where necessary, be carried out to determine appropriate controls for specific risks.

In particular, business continuity and contingency plans, data backup procedures, avoidance of viruses and hackers, access control to systems and information security incident reporting are fundamental to this policy. Control objectives for each of these areas are contained in local intranet and are supported by specific documented policies and procedures.

CENTRIC IT SOLUTIONS ROMANIA aims to achieve specific, defined information security objectives, which are developed in accordance with the business objectives, the context of the organisation, the results of risk assessments and the risk treatment plan.

All Employees/Staff of CENTRIC IT SOLUTIONS ROMANIA and certain external parties identified in the ISMS such as Centric Netherlands are expected to comply with this policy and with the ISMS that implements this policy. All Employees/Staff, and certain external parties, will receive (and be required to provide to their employees) appropriate training. The consequences of breaching the information security policy are set out in the disciplinary policy and in contracts and agreements with third parties.

The ISMS is subject to continuous, systematic review and improvement.

CENTRIC IT SOLUTIONS ROMANIA has established the Local Security Officer to support the ISMS framework and to periodically review the security policy.

CENTRIC IT SOLUTIONS ROMANIA is committed to achieving certification of its ISMS to ISO27001:2013 and compliance with the GDPR.

This policy will be reviewed to respond to any changes in the risk assessment or risk treatment plan and at least annually.

In this policy, ‘information security’ is defined as:

Preserving

This means that management, all full time or part time Employees/Staff, sub-contractors, project consultants and any external parties have, and will be made aware of, their responsibilities (which are defined in their job descriptions or contracts) to preserve information security, to report security breaches and to act in accordance with the requirements of the ISMS. All Employees/Staff will receive information security awareness training and more specialized Employees/Staff will receive appropriately specialised information security training.

The availability

This means that information and associated assets should be accessible to authorised users when required and therefore physically secure. The computer network must be resilient and CENTRIC IT SOLUTIONS ROMANIA must be able to respond rapidly to incidents (such as viruses and other malware) that threaten the continued availability of assets, systems and information. There must be appropriate business continuity plans.

Confidentiality

This involves ensuring that information is only accessible to those authorised to access it and therefore to preventing both deliberate and accidental unauthorised access to CENTRIC IT SOLUTIONS ROMANIA’s information and its systems.

Integrity

This involves safeguarding the accuracy and completeness of information and processing methods, and therefore requires preventing deliberate or accidental, partial or complete, destruction or unauthorised modification, of either physical assets or electronic data. There must be appropriate contingency including for network(s), website(s), extranet(s) and data backup plans and security incident reporting. CENTRIC IT SOLUTIONS ROMANIA must comply with all relevant data-related legislation in those jurisdictions within which it operates.

Of the physical (assets)

The physical assets of CENTRIC IT SOLUTIONS ROMANIA including, but not limited to, computer hardware, data cabling, telephone systems, filing systems and physical data files.
