The standards listed are specific activities required by Section 2.2 of the City of Fort Worth Information Security Policy. Sc. ope Connections between third parties that require access to non-public City of Fort Worth resources fall under this standard, regardless of whether a telecommunications circuit (such as frame relay or ISDN) or Virtual Privacy Network (VPN) technology is used for the connection. Connectivity to third parties such as the Internet Service Providers (ISPs) that provide Internet access for the City of Fort Worth or to the Public Switched Telephone Network do not fall under this standard. Standard Security Review All new extranet connectivity will go through a security review with the Information Security department (IT Solutions). The reviews are to ensure that all access matches the business requirements in a best possible way, and that the principle of least access is followed. Third Party Connection Agreement Ail new connection requests between third parties and the City of Fort Worth require that the third party and the City of Fort Worth representatives agree to and sign a third party agreement. This agreement must be signed by the Director of the sponsoring organization as well as a representative from the third party who is legally empowered to sign on behalf of the third party. The signed document is to be kept on file with IT Solutions. All documents pertaining to connections into the City of Fort Worth labs are to be kept on file with IT Solutions. Business Case Ail production extranet connections must be accompanied by a valid business justification, in writing, that is approved by a project manager in IT Solutions. Lab connections must be approved by IT Solutions. Typically this function is handled as part of a third party agreement. The sponsoring organization must designate a person to be the Point of Contact (POC) for the Extranet connection. The POC acts on behalf of the sponsoring organization, and is responsible for those portions of this policy and the third party agreement that pertain to it. In the event that the POC changes, IT Solutions must be informed promptly. Establishing Connectivity Sponsoring organizations within the City of Fort Worth that wish to establish connectivity to a third party are to file a new site request with IT Solutions to address security issues inherent in the project. If the proposed connection is to terminate within a lab at the City of Fort Worth, the sponsoring organization must engage IT Solutions. The sponsoring organization must provide full and complete information as to the nature of the proposed access to the extranet group and IT Solutions, as requested. All connectivity established must be based on the least -access principle, in accordance with the approved business requirements and the security review. In no case will the City of Fort Worth rely upon the third pOILY to protect the City of Fort Worth's network or resources. 5 Modifying or Changing Connectivity and Access All changes in access must be accompanied by a valid business justification, and are subject to security review. Changes are to be implemented via corporate change management process. The sponsoring organization is responsible for notifying IT Solutions when there is a material change in their originally provided information so that security and connectivity evolve accordingly. Terminating Access When access is no longer required, the sponsoring organization within the City of Fort Worth must notify IT Solutions, which will then terminate the access. This may mean a modification of existing permissions up to terminating the circuit, as appropriate. IT Solutions must conduct an audit of their respective connections on an annual basis to ensure that all existing connections are still needed, and that the access provided meets the needs of the connection. Connections that are found to be deprecated, and/or are no longer being used to conduct the City of Fort Worth business, will be terminated immediately. Should a security incident or a finding that a circuit has been deprecated and is no longer being used to conduct the City of Fort Worth business necessitate a modification of existing permissions, or termination of connectivity, IT Solutions will notify the POC or the sponsoring organization of the change prior to taking any action. Definitions Circuit For the purposes of this policy, circuit refers to the method of network access, whether its through traditional ISDN, Frame Relay etc. or via VPN encryption technologies. Sponsoring Organization The City of Fort Worth organization that requested that the third party have access to the City of Fort Worth network. Third Party A business that is not a formal or subsidiary part of the City of Fort Worth. tJ
