The business visitors network is connected, and many units have focused on access to staff as part of the network-access certification system."Additional Functions"However, in practice, the compliance risks and workload associated with poor access are often more cumbersome than staff access.
First compliance risk: no real name implementation is in place.Many companies use comparisons for visitors."Soft"Management approach——This way is not possible at the time of compliance audits, because it cannot trace specific online activity to a specific natural person. Formally, visitors must verify their access to the network via SMS or ID information.The system needs to retain the binding relationship between cellular phone numbers and authentication time, and the data are kept for a period that meets regulatory requirements (usually six months).A common cognitive bias needs to be corrected: the WiFi password is not a real access without being placed on the wall. The password can be shared and disseminated, and the audit institution will not endorse this approach.
The second compliance risk is the integrity of the Internet Behaviour Log. Real name authentication is only the first step, and the second step is to record access after visitors have accessed it. This requirement is specified in the Cybersecurity Act and related industry regulations."Who's getting in at what time?"However, follow-up access records and user identification were not linked——The certification log and the web log are two separate sets of records that we can't find out about."Which user did this IP address correspond to when accessing the site?". A qualified access system should be able to extend the user ' s authentication identity information throughout the session cycle, with a user identifier on the session log.If user identification information is released after the system certification, and subsequent logs are only IP and MAC, then audit compliance becomes questionable.
The third risk point relates to data security:Personal information protection for visitors.Visitors provide mobile phone numbers, names and even identity numbers that are sensitive to the protection of personal information under the Personal Information Protection Act. The system must comply with compliance requirements for storage, encryption, access control, removal mechanisms for these data.
The fourth risk is access control of the enterprise’s internal resources. Visitors can only access the Internet when they have been certified, as originally designed. If the network is not sufficiently compartmentalized, visitors may actually access equipment such as printers and file servers within the company. This issue is technically at the network configuration level, but responsibility must be defined during the design phase of the access strategy. One of the greatest values of access systems is ability to do so.Access control based on user identity is performed on bypass roads or gateway locations to ensure that even where network configurations are flawed, the security strategy at the application level can be traced.
The fifth risk that is easily overlooked is the de-weight and frequency of visitors' access. Multiple access to SMS authentications by the same cell number within a short time frame may be malicious; the same account number on multiple devices simultaneously online, possibly involving account sharing.
There is also a practical management-level recommendation that it would be better to have a clear definition of visitor management"Visitors Access Manager"The system should provide an independent visitors management operating interface that allows non-technical personnel to easily create, extend, and cancel the visitor accounts.The downside of the right to access to reception staff while retaining IT back-office control over strategy and audit is a reasonable design that balances efficiency and security.
In summary, visitor access compliance is not a single one."Just turn on the function switch."The project is to be tested and signed by the information security chief.
It is also a reality that needs to be addressed: the compliance requirements vary across industries.The financial sector usually requires stricter access to visitors than the average enterprise, requiring full-time log records and real-time alerts at a system level."Did you?"The functions are also to be determined whether they are being achieved in a manner that is consistent with the specific regulatory requirements of the current industry.
