\"Tech<\/a>Affidavit of Cybersecurity Compliance<\/h1>\n

Small business<\/strong> owners must protect their computer systems and confidential information from destruction, tampering, loss and theft.\u00a0 The National Institute of Standards and Technology<\/strong> (NIST<\/strong>) has written interagency report, NIST IR 7621<\/strong>, on cybersecurity standards<\/strong> for small business.\u00a0 The standard is promoted in partnership with the Small Business Administration<\/strong> (SBA<\/strong>) and the FBI<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

As evidence<\/strong> of compliance<\/strong> with this federal agency standard, the small business President, CEO or Chief Security Officer<\/strong>, can sign a sworn statement, or Affidavit<\/strong> of Cybersecurity Compliance<\/strong>.\u00a0 The affidavit is signed before a notary public<\/strong>.\u00a0 The statements must be true and correct, under penalty of perjury<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Annual Cybersecurity Compliance Checkup<\/span><\/h2>\n

NIST 7621<\/strong> recommends an annual cybersecurity checkup<\/strong>.\u00a0 This may be done by the in-house Chief Security Officer, or by an outside security contractor, knowledgeable in NIST 7621.\u00a0 The security checkup could be completed before the annual meeting<\/strong>, presented at the meeting, and kept in the company records<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A notarized Affidavit of Cybersecurity Compliance provides strong evidence<\/strong> that the business takes cybersecurity seriously, reduces business risk<\/strong> of data destruction, tampering, loss and theft, and may be used to show that reasonable care<\/strong>\u00a0and a Written Information Security Policy (WISP)<\/strong> are being used to defend against any liability<\/strong> claims of negligent security<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Absolutely Necessary Cybersecurity Actions for Small Business<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

NIST 7621 includes Section 2<\/strong>, titled Absolutely Necessary Cybersecurity Actions for Small Business<\/strong>, with 11 elements.\u00a0 For full compliance<\/strong> with Section 2, these 11 required elements must all be included in the affidavit.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Section 2 elements include:
\ncompleting a risk assessment<\/strong> and annual security review<\/strong>,
\ninstalling antivirus<\/strong>, anti-malware<\/strong> and anti-spyware<\/strong> software,
\ninstalling a hardware and software firewall<\/strong>,
\nusing strong passwords<\/strong>,
\ninstalling software updates<\/strong> promptly,
\nmaking backup<\/strong> copies of important files,
\ncontrolling physical access<\/strong> to computers,
\nsecuring wireless networks<\/strong>,
\nconducting security training<\/strong>,
\nrequiring user accounts<\/strong> with limited privileges<\/strong>, and
\nlimiting access<\/strong> to a need to know basis.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Highly Recommended Cybersecurity Practices<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

NIST 7621 includes Section 3<\/strong>, titled Highly Recommended Cybersecurity Practices<\/strong>, with 12 additional elements.\u00a0 Compliance with some or all of these recommended elements shows evidence that the business is taking extra security measures, above and beyond the necessary actions of reasonable care listed in Section 2.\u00a0 Compliance with Section 3 could be included in the same affidavit or in a separate affidavit.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

There is not a high cost or time burden to implement the security actions listed in NIST 7621, Section 2.\u00a0 There is a higher burden of time, training, discipline, and cost for Section 3.<\/p>\n

The elements of Section 3 include:
\nnot opening email attachments<\/strong> from unknown senders,
\nnot clicking on web links<\/strong> to unknown websites,
\nusing a pop-up blocker<\/strong> in the web browser,
\nnot inserting removable media<\/strong> from an unknown source,
\nusing a secure https<\/strong> browser connection for transactions,
\nerasing web browser cache<\/strong>, cookies and history,
\nconducting a background check<\/strong> when hiring employees,
\nusing a standard user account<\/strong>, not an administrator account when online,
\nnot downloading software<\/strong> from unknown websites,
\nattending training for continuing education<\/strong> in cybersecurity and information security,
\nsecure disposal<\/strong> of old computers, digital media and paper documents,
\nnot disclosing personal or confidential information<\/strong> to an unknown person or online,
\ncreating an annual asset inventory<\/strong> of hardware, software and information, and
\nusing encryption<\/strong> for confidential information, mobile devices and removable media.<\/p>\n
