ENS: comply with the public sector’s National Security Framework.

We prepare and support agencies and their providers to comply with the ENS — with the categorization and controls for the required level.

Who it applies to

The ENS applies to public-sector agencies and the companies that provide services to them, according to the category (basic, medium or high) of their systems.

What the framework requires

The ENS requires categorizing systems by level (basic, medium or high) and applying the corresponding controls, with a declaration or certification of conformity as applicable.

Categorization

Classify systems by security dimensions.

Levels

Basic, medium and high, with increasing controls.

Controls

Organizational, operational and safeguard frameworks.

Conformity

Declaration or certification depending on the level.

Risks of not acting

  • Being unable to provide services to the public sector without meeting the ENS.
  • Applying controls below the required level.
  • Miscategorizing systems and over- or under-scoping.
  • Facing conformity audits without evidence.

The i-Prot proposal

We categorize the systems, apply the controls for the corresponding level and prepare the ENS declaration or certification of conformity. Integrated into the CGF cycle.

How we work with this framework

Categorization

Classification of systems by level.

Gap analysis

State against the level’s controls.

Implementation

Organizational and operational controls.

Evidence and conformity

Preparation of the declaration/certification.

Upkeep

Maintenance of the conformity level.

Deliverables

  • Gap analysis
  • Implementation plan
  • Controls matrix
  • System documentation
  • Evidence
  • Internal audit
  • Management review
  • Roadmap

How it connects with CGF

CGF uses the ENS as a source of requirements. This framework mainly covers the Assess, Design, Implement and Operate & measure stages of the cycle.

Complyze and the ENS

Complyze maintains the categorization, the controls by level and the conformity evidence, with the status visible over time.
