I'll start: 

  1. Access Controls: Access controls ensure that only authorized individuals can access your systems, applications, and data. This includes password policies, multi-factor authentication, and access monitoring and logging.

  2. Change Management: Change management controls are essential for ensuring that changes to your systems and applications are controlled and documented to minimize the risk of errors, omissions, or security breaches.

  3. Information Security Incident Management: Effective incident management controls are essential for detecting and responding to security incidents promptly and appropriately. This includes incident reporting, response planning, testing, and training.

  4. Monitoring: Monitoring controls are essential for detecting and responding to potential security issues in a timely manner. This includes security event monitoring, vulnerability scanning, and penetration testing.

  5. Data Backup and Recovery: Data backup and recovery controls are essential for ensuring that critical data can be recovered during a disaster or other data loss event. This includes data backup schedules, testing, and restoration procedures.
