Article 5
Governance and organisation
Article 5.1 - Governance and organisation
1. Financial entities shall have in place an internal governance and control framework that ensures an effective and prudent management of ICT risk, in accordance with Article 6(4), in order to achieve a high level of digital operational resilience.
Wallix recommendation
PAM can play a significant role in supporting an effective ICT risk management framework as required by Article 5(1). * Centralized Management: PAM centralizes the management of privileged accounts and access rights, allowing for easier identification, assessment, and mitigation of risks associated with these accounts. * Reduced Attack Surface: By restricting privileged access and enforcing least privilege principles, PAM reduces the potential impact of compromised privileged credentials. * Improved Monitoring and Logging: PAM solutions typically provide comprehensive logging of privileged user activity, which can be used for monitoring suspicious behavior and detecting potential threats. * Enhanced Accountability: PAM establishes a clear audit trail for privileged access, enabling better accountability and facilitating incident investigations.

1. Financial entities shall have a sound, comprehensive and well-documented ICT risk management framework as part of their overall risk management system, which enables them to address ICT risk quickly, efficiently and comprehensively and to ensure a high level of digital operational resilience.
Wallix recommendation
* Sound, Comprehensive, and Documented Framework:
• PASM supports a comprehensive approach by focusing on privileged access, a frequent target for attackers and a major ICT risk.
• PASM documentation details access controls and security measures, contributing to a well-documented framework.

Identification
Article 8 - Identification
1. As part of the ICT risk management framework referred to in Article 6(1), financial entities shall identify, classify and adequately document all ICT supported business functions, roles and responsibilities, the information assets and ICT assets supporting those functions, and their roles and dependencies in relation to ICT risk. Financial entities shall review as needed, and at least yearly, the adequacy of this classification and of any relevant documentation.
Wallix recommendation
* Privileged accounts and their roles: PAM helps create a central repository of privileged accounts, aiding in documentation.
* Systems and data accessed by privileged users: This information can be used to identify information assets and ICT assets requiring access control.
