10 10 Implementing the PRO-IP bill President Obama has not appointed the Intellectual Property Enforcement Coordinator, aka IP Czar –This is a Senate-confirmed post Government Accountability Office (GAO) study on how the federal government can best protect the IP of manufacturers –GAO has not begun work on this study, but they will reach out to MEMA when they begin work on it

11 11 Customs Reauthorization & Trade Enforcement In January, Rep. Charles Rangel and Rep. Sander Levin introduced the Trade Enforcement Act of 2009 (H.R. 496) –Title III of bill covers enforcement of IP laws at U.S. borders Enforces U.S. Intellectual Property Rights (IPR). The bill creates a Director of IPR Enforcement and an IPR Enforcement advisory committee to advise on IPR enforcement issues; promotes the use of new technology to better fight intellectual property rights (IPR) infringement; creates a “watch list” for suspected bad actors; and prevents Customs from excusing fines assessed for illegal imports. Increases Staffing, Resources, Training and Coordination. The bill authorizes the support, resources and training that Customs and Immigration and Customs Enforcement need and deserve to carry out their import safety and IPR enforcement responsibilities.

12 12 Customs Reauthorization & Trade Enforcement Senator Max Baucus, Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, is planning to move Customs Reauthorization legislation in the coming months Senator Debbie Stabenow of Michigan serves on the Finance Committee and is interested in being helpful to the supplier industry on counterfeiting

22 22 The North American Security Products Organization A Security Assurance Standard for the Protection of Security Components Robert Sherwood, CPP NASPO Chairman VP Security Programs Management, Sekuworks LLC

23 23 NASPO Concept proposed at a conference First Board Meeting December 2002 Development of an industry standard completed September 2003 First audited companies certified January 2004 Recognized as an ANSI Accredited Standards Developer October 2004 ANSI/NASPO-SAv3.0P-2005 Declared by ANSI as an American National Standard on November, 2005 - Update January 2008

24 24 The Need for NASPO Fraud and terrorism has been enabled by the lack of a secure supply chain to restrict the availability of security materials and technologies. No structure was available to recognize and certify organizations that met a specified level of security assurance. Governmental agencies and private industry has recognized that this standard supports their efforts of enhanced security assurance. One holistic recognized standard versus multiple narrowly defined standards.

25 25 NASPO and Current Legislation Sarbanes Oxley – Risk management requirements for publicly held companies Bioterrorism Bill – Secure supply issues in pharmaceuticals and food Real ID Act – Securing our identification documents Consumer Privacy Act (GLB Act) – Securing personal information in the financial market

26 26 Application of the ANSI/NASPO Standard Requirements in RFP’s and contracts Compliance to legislative and industry regulations Internal security practices The control of purchased and sold security materials. A set of “Best Practices” for organizations Recognition of certified companies for market differentiation

27 27 Risk Management Requirements 3 - Levels :- Class I - Very High Security Class II - Medium-High Security Class III - Basic Security Management Objectives (Security Culture) Avoids Weakness of Checklist Approach 9 Areas of Risk Each Area has Own Objective Risk Reduction Infrastructure, Systems Procedures Based on a Consensus of Best Practice

28 28 Risk Management Objectives Class I – To prevent all unwanted disclosure of information of potential strategic value to Criminals and Terrorists criminals and terrorists and to fully mitigate the effects of fraudulent acts in the event that they occur. Class II - To prevent unwanted disclosure of selected information of potential strategic value to Criminals and Terrorists criminals and terrorists and to mitigate the effects of fraudulent acts in the event that they occur. Class III - To be aware of the need and act to avoid disclosure of selected information of potential strategic value to Criminals criminals and to act quickly to mitigate the effects of fraudulent acts in the event that they occur.

29 29 Areas of Risk Customer Related Information – Computer (IT) and Non Computer Based Materials Supply & Custody Chains Physical Intrusion Personnel Disaster Recovery Breaches of Security Management

30 30 Public Disclosure Standard Avoids helping bad guys. Requirements re-stated as performance requirements. Requirements say what not how to deliver security. Elective requirements removed Class 1, II & III retained. Certificates based solely on compliance with mandatories. Perception of Very High Barriers should Deter Attempts to Defraud

31 31 Risk Reduction Policies Procedures Infrastructure Systems

32 32 Certification Openness (under NDA) Qualification Application/Class Determination Readiness Review Conformity Assessment (NASPO Audit) Action Items Certificate Award by NASPO Board Annual Maintenance

33 33 NASPO Conformity Assessment (Audit) Self evaluation prior to audit. Non disclosure agreement with independent, trained auditor Mutual classification determination On-site audit verifying self audit to actual Discrepancy rectification Audit report to NASPO Certification

34 34 Conformity Assessment Process Vulnerability Assessment Attractiveness of Product Portfolio to Thieves Consequences of Getting Into Wrong Hands History of Local Attack Identification of Potential Risks Identification of Actual Risks Being Taken

35 35 NASPO / ASIS Connection Both Standards Development Organizations (SDO) NASPO / ASIS Standards Complementary NASPO Standard Example: Requires employee background screening ASIS Standards Example: Guide to implementing a screening process

36 36 Security Assurance in the Context of ISO Technical Advisory Group (TAG) 247 established “Fraud Countermeasures and Control” ISO Secretariat for TC 247 has been awarded to ANSI. ISO Secretariat and US TAG Administration will be supported by the North American Security Products Organization, NASPO
