Telecommunications

Telecoms operators carry security duties under the UK Telecommunications (Security) Act and resilience expectations under NIS2, both of which assume the operator can trace an obligation through to the operational processes that fulfil it. IGX360 Insights makes that trace possible, connecting network security and resilience duties to the processes and owners actually responsible for them.

9 problems for Telecommunications

We think we are compliant but cannot prove it

  • Continuous compliance
  • Control assurance
  • Audit readiness

Compliance gaps remain invisible until assurance activity begins. The underlying weakness is the absence of traceability from obligation through process, owner, system, control, execution and retained evidence.

We do not know where operational failure will spread

  • Operational resilience
  • Critical service mapping
  • Dependency analysis

Single points of failure remain embedded in the operating model. The underlying weakness is the absence of an end-to-end view of critical outcomes, dependencies, concentration, substitution, controls and recovery assumptions.

Risks, controls, processes and obligations are disconnected

  • Risk-control traceability
  • Obligation mapping
  • Connected assurance

The organisation cannot see which processes create each risk, which controls operate within them or where coverage is absent. The underlying weakness is the absence of traceability from obligation through process, owner, system, control, execution and retained evidence.

UK telecom security duties are not traceable through operations

  • UK Telecommunications Security Act
  • Security duty traceability
  • Ofcom assurance

Security-critical functions, assessed risks, measures, permissions, dependencies and evidence cannot be traced through one operational view. The underlying weakness is the absence of traceability from obligation through process, owner, system, control, execution and retained evidence.
