1.3              Audience

A Glossary of the terminology used can be found in the GSOC Information Security Policy [1].

2.1              Scoping

The scope of all audits and security testing activities shall be clearly defined and approved by the GSOC Manager before commencement.

All stakeholders that will be impacted by security testing and audit activities as well those that must be present shall be identified in advance and arrangements made to ensure that they are aware, and available when required.

2.2              Scheduling and Timeframes

The GSOC Manager shall identify in writing the allowable dates for any audits and security testing and make necessary arrangements to facilitate such activities. The only exception is where audits / security testing must be conducted with no advanced notice. The Global CISO must be notified in writing of such audit / security tests.

2.3              Approvals

Any audits or security testing with potential impact to the operations must be approved before said audit / test can proceed.
