Management Plan <strong>for</strong> Corrective Action <strong>for</strong> <strong>Virginia</strong> Port Authority<br />

The Authority and VIT have contracted with a 3rd party vendor to implement <strong>the</strong><br />

areas <strong>of</strong> weakness noted during <strong>the</strong> comprehensive Risk Assessment conducted in<br />

2011. The Authority also intends to include reporting and monitoring requirements<br />

to ensure compliance by VIT with <strong>the</strong> updated policies and procedures. Full<br />

implementation is expected to take one year.<br />

Responsible Party: Rodney Oliver, Deputy Executive Director, CFO, and ISO<br />

Estimated Completion Date: November 1, 2012<br />

11-08: Improve Compliance with In<strong>for</strong>mation Security Program<br />

Applicable to: Alcoholic Beverage Control<br />

ABC has not per<strong>for</strong>med system access reviews <strong>for</strong> SEIS, CORE, MyABC, or MOVE, which<br />

are four <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> department’s 13 major systems, during <strong>the</strong> fiscal year. Without adequate reviews and<br />

approval <strong>of</strong> users and <strong>the</strong>ir access role configurations by System Administrators or by individuals<br />

with technical knowledge and authority within <strong>the</strong> agency, such as <strong>the</strong> In<strong>for</strong>mation Security Officer<br />

(ISO), ABC risks allowing inappropriate access to sensitive data. Inappropriate access puts ABC at<br />

risk <strong>for</strong> undetected, unauthorized changes to systems and data due, and can lead to fraud and abuse.<br />

In our prior audit, we noted that ABC was not per<strong>for</strong>ming system access security reviews in<br />

compliance with its in<strong>for</strong>mation security program and acknowledge that ABC has made limited<br />

progress on this issue. The ISO should develop and implement a method to systemically review<br />

user's access across all major systems annually and all o<strong>the</strong>r systems at least every two years.<br />

Fur<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> ISO should dedicate <strong>the</strong> necessary resources to achieve this compliance. Since bringing<br />

this matter to <strong>the</strong> attention <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Security Officer, he has begun addressing <strong>the</strong>se systems.<br />

ABC agrees that <strong>the</strong> agency is not completely in compliance with its In<strong>for</strong>mation<br />

Security program; however, <strong>the</strong> agency has made significant progress over <strong>the</strong> fiscal<br />

year since <strong>the</strong> 2010 audit. A consultant was hired to address issues with <strong>the</strong> InfoSec<br />

program, and a complete rewrite <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Policies, Standards, and Guidelines was<br />

created. The ABC Board approved <strong>the</strong> new program, and implemented an<br />

In<strong>for</strong>mation Security Steering Committee to provide governance oversight to <strong>the</strong><br />

program and ensure value delivery. Additionally, <strong>the</strong> Board was provided <strong>the</strong><br />

necessary training <strong>for</strong> security functions and system definition; sensitivity was<br />

reviewed and updated; and a Business Impact Analysis was completed. Significant<br />

advances were made in <strong>the</strong> vulnerability management program, including a<br />

<strong>Commonwealth</strong>-leading application vulnerability remediation program.<br />

In compliance with <strong>the</strong> In<strong>for</strong>mation Security Roadmap project underway, which has<br />

been approved by <strong>the</strong> ABC Board and provided to <strong>the</strong> APA, additional System Owner<br />

documentation has been completed to assist in <strong>the</strong> InfoSec program compliance. A<br />

completely revamped training program is currently being developed <strong>for</strong> System<br />
