As a partner in the DHS National Critical Infrastructure Commun ications Sector, T-Mobile is required to maintain high standards of security compliance, the details of which are not publicly disclosed for purposes of national security.
T-Mobile can provide a general statement of compliance for the required numbered security statements, and may be able to respond with further detail unde r special conditions.
As a general statement, T-Mobile is compliant with the current version of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework as further described below:
T-Mobile follows best practice security standards and guideline s in alignment with the NIST Cyber Security Framework, which specifies the following functio nal domains including 1) Identification, 2) Protection, 3) Detection, 4) Response, and 5 ) Recovery. Additionally, ISO 27001:2013 Information Security Management System and other app licable industry recognized frameworks are utilized.
T-Mobile has multiple physical and environmental policies and p rograms in place. Due to their sensitive nature, T-Mobile can not divulge all of our security methods and practices, but an example of some of the security measures are listed below:
• Cell Sites: Exterior fence with lock; building doors with loc ks; doors alarmed • Switch Sites: Building doors with locks / require card-key ac cess • Data Centers: Building doors with locks / require card-key ac cess; video surveillance systems. All visitors are required to sign in and out of T-Mob ile locations and to wear Visitor badges requiring escorts.
Due to their sensitive nature, we can’t divulge all of our secu rity methods and practices.
However, we can disclose the following:
• T-Mobile requires up-to-date anti-virus software installed on all corporate computers and configured to scan them. This software cannot be disabled by the end user. Data is stored in an encrypted format on all computer s. T-Mobile servers are backed-up on a regular basis, including storing encrypted d ata in off-site locations. Data backup intervals vary. Devices processed by our Business Operations groups are always flashed and wiped. This includes devices retu rned to the distribution centers within our warranty period. Corporate devi ces are built according to a standard security configuration.
• T-Mobile has a formalized and documented Change Management pol icy. Changes are formally documented and requests are reviewed by the Change Control Board to ensure they meet business needs, are technically correct, and w on’t adversely affect services. Only changes approved by the Change Control Board are permitted (with the exception of changes required to remedy a service outage). Managers responsible for the system operations monitor those systems for unauthorize d changes to their environment. Configuration management policy s tates that all proposed configuration changes must be because of a business ne ed; be verified in the lab environment; and follow Change Management procedures fo r introduction DocuSign Envelope ID: E92D1967-A322-489B-A040-566E50455EE5 DϭϳϲͲϭ Wireless Data, Voice and Accessories RFP Attachment S: Security Disclosure Statement into the production networks.
• All network traffic is monitored. We have network intrusion de tection systems and monitoring capability in place with corresponding Incident Resp onse Procedure that specifies actions to take upon notification of a security event . Our vulnerability scanning system is integrated within the Engineering networks w ith twice-monthly scanning done. If vulnerabilities are fo und, they are reported to the appropriate system owners. To ensure vulnerabilities have been addressed, f ollow-up testing is conducted.
• T-Mobile requires segregation of duties, which includes prohib iting individuals from approving their own access and requiring management-level appro val of all access, as well as reviewing and validating access requests. T-Mobile h as a formal wireless access policy mandating a standardized secure level of authenti cation and encryption.
