Medusa Ransomware is a known attack vector since 2021. A subject of international security alerts and mitigation measure advisories,

https://socradar.io/dark-web-profile-medusa-ransomware-medusalocker/

Philhealth security incident brings forward the question of its compliance (other government agencies) with DICT in doing the security activities required to have a Cybersecurity Compliance Certificate - DICT Dept Circular No 003 2020. It includes the activation of a CERT for security incident response.

The Department of Information and Communication and Technology (DICT) in its circular is supposed to submit to the Office of the President the names of government agencies without a cybersecurity compliance certificate

The National, sectoral and organization CERT is expected based on DICT policy to bring coordinated effort in the monitoring, detecting, alerting, and responding to security incident in the cyber of networked government agencies linked to the national security operation center of threat intelligence database at DICT.

The medusa ransomsre security incident of Philhealth is a case for the National Privacy Commission (NPC) to conduct the compliance check as defined in NPC circular 18-02 Guidelines on Compliance Checks.

The Philhealth security incident asks the question on how its governance and management acted NPC Circular 16-01 that specifies the legal obligations and security requirements to protect personal data. It includes the acquisition of competencies and resources to implement Rule VI of RA 10173 implementation regulations.

Philhealth database contains the largest number of personal data of individual that by law made member or beneficiary of Philhealth. It manages the information that can be used to operate the unified identification system of Philippine government.

Data Subject of Philhealth have right to raise privacy and security concern, or file complaint against the Personal Information Controller that fails the security measures of protecting information.

Data Subject has the right to be notified of the security incident if the breach involves personal data.

In cybersecurity, the control rules, practice standards and threat intelligence database serve as risk criteria and vulnerability indicators of a “trusted” service organization.enabled by digital technology.

When the risk criteria are undermined, security controls are not available to protect and respond.

Cybersecurity is at risk when the mandated obligations are simply resolved by legal remedies and good communication technique on the zero day of exploitation.

Data Protection Competency Framework
Privacy by Design and By Default

How to determine, document, and demonstrate a privacy by design and by default information system development and operation?

Privacy-by-design is embeding the data privacy principles and information security control in the development lifecycle and processes of an information and communication system project.

Privacy-by-default is the privacy setting of the released product, system, or service to operation. It automates the trigerring of the conditions and functions to exercise privacy rights, to record privacy compliance, and to communicate security control.

Personal data is protected in the information and communication system of a government agency and business enterprise when it provides the system features that make the Data Subject to exercise the privacy right, and to get assurance on the security of personal information in the device, network, storage, application and people of data processing.

It includes the by default notification and consent to trigger data processing and security measures; and the alerting of the Data Subject on security incidents that may compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information.

The exercise of privacy on data is supported by information processing application that is coded to execute the principles that validate and verify the privacy and security of personal information during and after data collection, transmission, retention, use, disclosure. And disposal.

The security of information in data protection is implementation of control that define administrative, legal, physical, technical, and people requirements for the information system to behave audited indicators of information confidentiality, process integrity, system availability, delivery reliability, infrastructure resilliency, and consumer safety.

The Personal Information Controller, Personal Information Processor, Data Protection Officer, and Privacy Regulators are obligated in RA 10173 to act guided by its statutory requirements and adapted international standards on personal information (section 2 RA 20173 Implementation rule 2016)

The interest protection and benefit realization of privacy on personal protection are reported real in the evaluated impact of the information and communication system to data subject privacy rights, data processing privacy principles and lawful criteria, and personal information security control.

The privacy impact assessment observed the common standards in defining risk assessment process, privacy risk criteria, risk measuring technique, and risk mitigation approach.

The use privacy threat modeling tool is necessary to properly illustrate, analyze, and test the context of data privacy violation in the designed and operated information processing system.

Data Flow Diagram is an important visualization tool to illustrate the data workflow that represents the “what, how, and who” of data, process, and application in behaving the limiting condition of privacy and security rules.

The development requirement traceability matrix of designed, developed, and released information and communication system provides the definitive listing of specific regulatory, functional, and technical requirements in creating the personal data enabled product or services that engage a Data Subject.

The international community driven standards serve as the basic knowledge source for the methodology and metrics to support valid and verifiable understanding behind the development and operation of an information and communication system considered as “privacy by design” and “privacy by default.”

The achievement of the statutory goal for the information and communication system of government and private sector to be designed developed and operated with data privacy is guided by a common questions of understanding associated with the following:

1. System design and operation is limited by an adapted privacy framework

2. System design and operation is programmed functionality to exercise privacy rights of Data Subject

3. System design and operation is system features to enforce information security control

4. System design and operation is documented activities to respond, recover from, and investigate data breach

Foundational knowledge source for the rules and standards in developing and operating a privacy by design and by default product, system, or services:

1. ISO 27550 - Privacy engineering for system life cycle processes

2. ISO 31700 - Privacy by design for consumer goods and services

3. ISO 29100 - Privacy Frameworrk

4. ISO 29134 - Privacy Impact Assessment

5. ISO 27002 & 27701 - Privacy Information Security Controls

6. 2016 Implementing Rules and Regulations of RA 10173

7. NPC issuances on data privacy rights, privacy impact assessment, and security measures

8. EU General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR)

9. USA Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996

10. AICPA SOC2 Trusted Service Organization audit indicators

11. Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS)

A government agency compliant with EO 605-2007 has documented guidance that brings clarity, coherence, completeness, and consistency with the use of ISO standarts that support implementation of regulations and policy for “Privacy by Design and by Default.”

Cybersecurity is ex*****on of the activities and delivery of results that are commonly linked to the end to end responsibilities of the CHIEF INFORMATION/CYBER SECURITY OFFICER and TEAM.

1. Protect, shield, defend, prevent
2. Monitor, hunt, detect
3. Respond, recover, sustain
4. Management, governance, compliance, education, risk management

Cybersecurity is OVERSIGHT on the implementation of agreed standards in security governance, asset visibility, risk and vulnerabilty assessment, secured acquisition and supplier security, regulatory compliance, and security operation.

It is an assurance platform for the organization to continuously deliver and improve what governance and management have agreed on what to achieve; what to maintain; what to prevent; and what to eliminate in demonstrating “safe cyberspace” of data, people and infrastructure of digital government, business, and home.

Cybersecurity is HUMAN ERROR to be admitted and resolved with appropriate awareness building, professional certification, and security alerts to act first time right the safety requirements of human digital presence in the cyberspace.

The common questions of understanding quality in the cybersecurity performance of government agency and business enterprise.

1. Value, threat, regulatory, and supplier context of cybersecurity

2. Good governance and management framework on cybersecurity

3. International community driven standards and published regulation on cybersecurity principles, performance and practices

4.. Organization, function, roles, and competency in achieving the statutory goals, and regulatory objectives of cybercrime prevention, response, and investigation, national cybersecurity plan, and NCERT.

5. Cyberkill chain, threat modeling, vulnerabity intelligence and assessment, and risk management

6. Methodologies and technologies of cybersecurity security control, and incident response and investigation

7. Training plan, user alert system, and professional competency certification on cybersecurity management and technology

The validation and verification of the right things to do in securing the sovereign cyberspace are done first time right with identified, analyzed, mapped and applied statutory and regulatory requirements, adapted international community driven practice standards, and threat intelligence database of globally recognized interest group and security product developers.

The networked society of globalization is connected trade, technology, knowledge, cybercrime, and Internet security.

Critical cybersecurity guidance finds its foundational knowledge source from countries that are considered principal in regulating the design, development, deployment, and operation of products and services that make up the cyberspace of the digital economy.

Cybersecurity in the digital economy is interest protection and benefit realization of its stakeholders that ensue from a cyberspace that behaves information confidentiality, process integrity, system availability. Infrastructure resilliency, data privacy, and consumer safety.
