S 5.12 Setting up an additional network administrator

Initiation responsibility: Head of IT Section, IT Security Management

Implementation responsibility: Administrators

Arrangements must be made for the possible situation that both the network administrator and his deputy are not available. In such cases, an additional user must be established who shares the rights of the network administrator. The user ID and the pertinent password must be deposited in a sealed envelope. Use of the password must be documented and be controlled according to the two-person rule.

Additional controls:

• Has a user substituting for the network administrator and his deputy been designated?
