19、LIABILITY”,Reliable System defined as: “A system that operates without material error, fault or failure during a specified time in a specified environment.” Four Principles:- Availability - Security- Integrity - Maintainability,“Reliability” Framework,“CRITERIA”,Each Principle has series of Criteria

20、 Criteria categories: policies exist and are appropriate policies are implemented and operate adherence to policy is monitored Definition of Criteria: - measurable - relevant - objective - complete,Structure of Criteria 1,Structure of Criteria 2,Example: Availability,Principle: The system is availab

21、le for operation and use at times set forth in service level statements or agreements. Criteria Categories: The entity has defined and communicated performance objectives, policies, and standards for system availability.The entity utilizes processes, people, software, data, and infrastructure to ach

22、ieve system availability objectives in accordance with established policies and standards.The entity monitors the system and takes action to achieve compliance with system availability objectives, policies, and standards.,Example: Availability (contd),“CONTROLS”,primary evidential basis for evaluati
