MP229 Notification of material change to User Systems to include decommissioning

Proposer Gordon Hextall
Lead Analyst SEC Change
Date raised 08/02/2023
StageImplemented
Implementation date 29 June 2023 (June 2023 SEC Release)
Latest update This modification was implemented in the June 2023 SEC Release (Thursday 29 June 2023).

What is the issue?

The SEC requires Users to notify the SSC of any new components or functionality to be included in their User System. However, the SEC does not explicitly state that Users must notify the SSC prior to discontinuing a component or functionality from their User System or decommissioning the whole User System. The implicit requirement is being included in the Security Controls Framework (SCF) and that document is being updated to make the requirement explicit.

What is the solution?

To align the SEC to the SCF and improve clarity the SEC will be updated under Section G3.9 to reflect the requirement on Users to notify the SSC when a component of their system is being discontinued or decommissioned.

Who is impacted?

None

What SEC documents are affected?

Section G ‘Security’
