Resource-Service Model

The RSM includes interconnected metrics and indicators that help understand the current state of the observed object at various levels of abstraction.

The RSM helps build automated compliance assessment for meeting regulatory or corporate requirements in information security or IT service levels.

A pre-configured resource-service model containing metrics and indicators for assessing compliance with the requirements of the Bank of Russia (GOST R 57580), requirements for personal data protection or state information systems. By agreement with the client, the module can be adapted to track technical countermeasures for compliance with any other set of regulatory requirements or internal corporate standards.

Functional Characteristics​

Using the Resource-Service Model​

For real-time compliance assessment, the basic tool of the Core module is the Resource-Service Model. Control of protection measures is carried out using compliance tree metrics. The indicators at the top levels of the tree provide current compliance assessment values for subprocesses and processes. These values are used in subsequent steps to calculate final compliance coefficients.

Interpreting Compliance Assessment Results​

When information gathering is configured and RSM metrics are regularly collected, and calculations are done, the obtained information needs to be communicated to responsible parties for further action. It is suggested to work with the information in the form of familiar dashboards with visual panels or dynamic articles allowing to enrich visual panels with necessary descriptions. For this purpose, integration with the Core component - Knowledge Center is configured.

Metrics in RSM​

A metric is an element of RSM that displays the status of a monitored object at the first level. It is calculated based on data source logic and can assume various states depending on the configured thresholds.

A metric can be calculated using confidence intervals. Confidence intervals are calculated in search queries, for example, using functions like avg or stdev.

Indicators in RSM​

Indicators, in turn, represent higher-level indicators calculated based on metric values and other indicators. They are located at various levels in the RSM tree, forming a structure.

To get more information about the status of metrics and indicators, you can click on them in the RSM tree and navigate to additional information on the visual panel or in a search query.

Visual Display​

On the main dashboard of the RSM component, it is displayed as a tree of indicators.

The RSM tree is interactive. To view the status of lower-level indicators and the metrics on which the indicator status depends, you can click on the corresponding indicator.
