Having reviewed the requirements and defined the policy, it is necessary to identify and establish the controls and
measures in line with the outcome of the business risk assessment. Security And Data Protection is an ongoing process
that needs to be continuously managed using a set of security and data protection controls. Security and data
protection measures are used in the prevention of security and data protection breaches. Controls should be measured
during the set up and execution of the Service Engagement. Having baselines in line with the defined policy and
business risk analysis, comparison of the service engagement performance against these baselines will provide the
status of the Security And Data Protection Management of the Service Engagement. Service Engagements often have access
to Client’s/users personal data in the systems or applications within the scope . The controls and measures should also
cover these aspects.
To understand the Data Protection controls to be implemented the following will need to be understood:
-
Capgemini’s responsibilities in the contract for holding and processing Client data
