Basefarm SIRT
Säkerheten är en sak som genomsyrar hela det dagliga arbetet på Basefarm. Det betyder att vi tar med säkerhetsaspekten i allt vi gör, från hur vi bygger upp arkitekturer, till alla våra processer och procedurer.
Endast ett fåtal leverantörer kan erbjuda ett helt tjänstspektrum inom drift och säkerhet. Normalt tar kunden kontakt med en säkerhetsexpert när denne har bekymmer kring säkerheten eller skulle vilja se över sin driftsäkerhet. Vi har däremot med en säkerhetsrådgivare i alla delar av vår leverans. Vi har ett Security Incident Responce Team (SIRT) som hanterar säkerhetsincidenter och följer upp sårbarheter i förebyggande syfte. Dessutom har vårt SIRT regelbundna kontakter med organisationer som CERT-SE och NorCERT, de svenska och norska dataincidentgrupperna som diskuterar säkerhetsfrågor samt delar kunskap och erfarenhet.
CERT-SE är Sveriges nationella CSIRT (Computer Security Incident Response Team) med uppgift att stödja samhället i arbetet med att hantera och förebygga IT-incidenter. Verksamheten bedrivs vid Myndigheten för samhällsskydd och beredskap (MSB).
NorCERT är en avdelning inom den norska Nasjonal sikkerhetsmyndighet som koordinerar det förebyggande arbetet och responsen på de IT-säkerhetsincidenter som påverkar Norges infrastruktur.
Vi samarbetar också med andra CERT-grupper för att få igång en nationell CERT-grupp i Sverige på ett av våra kontor. Avsikten med gruppen ska vara att man ska kunna ge varandra stöd i säkerhetsrelaterade frågor och hålla sig uppdaterade inom allt som händer på säkerhetsfronten i Sverige.

Basefarm SIRT is authorized to address all types of computer security incidents which occur, or threaten to occur, in our Constituency (see 3.2) and which require cross-organizational coordination.
The level of support given by Basefarm SIRT will vary depending on the type and severity of the incident or issue, the type of constituent, the size of the user community affected, and Basefarm SIRT’s resources at the time. Special attention will be give to issues affecting critical infrastructure.
Note that no direct support will be given to end users; they are expected to contact Basefarm Support. Basefarm SIRT will support the latter people.
Basefarm SIRT is committed to keeping its constituency informed of potential vulnerabilities, and where possible, will inform this community of such vulnerabilities before they are actively exploited.
4.2 Co-operation, Interaction and Disclosure of Information
Basefarm SIRT will cooperate with other Organizations in the Field of Computer Security. This Cooperation also includes and often requires the exchange of vital information regarding security incidents and vulnerabilities. Nevertheless Basefarm SIRT will protect the privacy of their customers, and therefore (under normal circumstances) pass on information in an anonymous manner unless other contractual agreements apply.
Basefarm SIRT operates under the restrictions imposed by Swedish, Norwegian or Dutch law depending on where the incident occurs. This involves careful handling of personal data as required by the respective country’s Data Protection law, but it is also possible that – according to the law – Basefarm SIRT may be forced to disclose information due to a Court’s order.
4.3 Communication and Authentication
For normal communication not containing sensitive information, Basefarm SIRT will use conventional methods like unencrypted e-mail or fax.
For secure communication, PGP-Encrypted e-mail or telephone will be used. If it is necessary to authenticate a person before communicating, this can be done either through existing webs of trust (e.g. FIRST) or by other methods like call-back, mail-back, or even face-to-face meeting if necessary.

Basefarm SIRT har behörighet att åtgärda alla typer av datorsäkerhetsincidenter som uppstår, eller riskerar att uppstå, inom vårt ansvarsområde (se 3.2) och som kräver samordning mellan olika delar av organisationen.
Vilken supportnivå Basefarm SIRT erbjuder beror på incidentens eller störningens typ och allvarlighetsgrad, typen av ansvarsområde, hur många användare som påverkas och Basefarm SIRT:s resurser vid den aktuella tidpunkten. Störningar som påverkar kritisk infrastruktur prioriteras.
Observera att ingen direkt support ges till slutanvändare, de förväntas kontakta Basefarms support. Basefarm SIRT håller sina kunder informerade om potentiella sårbarheter och informerar, i de fall det är möjligt, om dessa sårbarheter innan de utnyttjas.
Basefarm SIRT samarbetar med andra organisationer inom området datorsäkerhet. Detta samarbete inbegriper och kräver ofta även utbyte av viktig information beträffande säkerhetsincidenter och sårbarheter. Basefarm SIRT skyddar dock sina kunders integritet och vidarebefordrar (under normala förhållanden) information anonymt, om inget annat har avtalats.
Beroende på var incidenten har uppstått tillämpar Basefarm SIRT de restriktioner som gäller enligt norsk, svensk eller nederländsk lag. Det innebär att personuppgifter hanteras varsamt i enlighet med respektive lands dataskyddslagstiftning. Det är dock möjligt att Basefarm SIRT enligt lag är skyldiga att lämna ut information efter domstolsbeslut.
För normal kommunikation som inte innehåller känslig information använder Basefarm SIRT konventionella metoder som okrypterad e-post eller fax. PGP-krypterad e-post eller telefon används för säker kommunikation. Om en person måste autentiseras före kommunikation kan det göras antingen direkt genom befintliga, pålitliga nätverk (t.ex. FIRST) eller med andra metoder som återuppringning, svarsmejl eller till och med fysiskt möte om det behövs.
