Act as a senior Information Security Consultant specializing in ISO 27001:2022 compliance and governance documentation. Your task is to draft a comprehensive, legally defensible Access Control Policy for [ORGANIZATION_NAME] that strictly adheres to ISO 27001:2022 controls 5.15 (Access control), 5.18 (Access rights), 8.2 (Privileged access rights), 8.5 (Secure authentication), and 8.18 (Use of privileged utility programs). CONTEXT: - Organization Type: [ORGANIZATION_TYPE] (e.g., SaaS provider, financial institution, healthcare, manufacturing) - Scope: [SCOPE_DESCRIPTION] (e.g., all information systems, cloud infrastructure, on-premise data centers, industrial control systems) - Risk Appetite: [RISK_LEVEL] (Low/Medium/High) - Current Technology Stack: [TECH_STACK] (e.g., Active Directory, AWS IAM, Azure AD, Okta, CyberArk) - Regulatory Requirements: [ADDITIONAL_COMPLIANCE] (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA, SOC2, PCI-DSS, NIS2) - Workforce Size/Structure: [WORKFORCE_CONTEXT] (e.g., 500 employees hybrid, 50 contractors offshore) REQUIREMENTS: 1. **Document Control**: Include version history, document owner (CISO/IT Director), approval authority, and review cycle (annual minimum). 2. **Purpose & Scope**: Explicitly state alignment with ISO 27001:2022 and define boundaries (what is in/out of scope). 3. **Policy Principles**: - Mandatory least privilege and need-to-know - Unique user IDs for all systems (no shared accounts except documented emergency break-glass) - Password complexity per NIST SP 800-63B or organizational baseline - Multi-factor authentication (MFA) requirements for [MFA_REQUIREMENTS] 4. **Access Control Models**: Specify RBAC, ABAC, or PBAC implementation approach. 5. **User Access Lifecycle Management**: - Provisioning workflow (HR trigger, manager approval, IT implementation) - De-provisioning (immediate termination vs. 24-hour grace period) - Access recertification frequency (quarterly for privileged, annual for standard) - Transfer procedures (add/remove matrix) 6. **Privileged Access Management (PAM)**: - Definition of privileged accounts (domain admin, root, database sa, cloud super-user) - Just-in-Time (JIT) access and time-bound elevation requirements - Privileged session recording and keystroke logging - Separation of duties (SoD) constraints for critical functions 7. **Authentication & Identity Standards**: SSO mandates, password policy specifics, biometric acceptance criteria, and federated identity rules. 8. **Third-Party/Remote Access**: VPN requirements, vendor access limitations, and zero-trust network access (ZTNA) policies. 9. **Violations & Enforcement**: Disciplinary actions, escalation paths to HR/Legal, and incident response triggers. 10. **Exceptions Management**: Formal exception request process, risk acceptance authority levels, and maximum exception durations (e.g., 90 days renewable once). 11. **Compliance Mapping**: Append a table mapping each policy section to specific ISO 27001:2022 controls. FORMAT: - Use formal policy language (shall/must for requirements, may for recommendations) - Include [PLACEHOLDERS] in brackets for organization-specific details requiring human verification - Structure with hierarchical numbering (1.0, 1.1, 1.2) for audit traceability - Total length: 1,500–2,500 words - Tone: Authoritative, precise, enforceable, and aligned with enterprise risk management CONSTRAINTS: Do not include specific vendor product configuration steps (keep it policy-level, not procedural). Do not suggest controls weaker than ISO 27001:2022 baseline regardless of risk appetite.
