Yes. Any connection to an external network terminates at a firewall, as required by our Network Security Policy. All traffic is filtered and monitored, NIDS are implemented and networks segmented to ensure security of all data and systems as well as compliance with all regulatory measures.

Is there a policy that defines network security requirements?

QR Planet's network security policy has been approved by management and was communicated to all appropriate constituents. An owner has been assigned.

Are there security and hardening standards for network devices, including Firewalls, Switches, Routers and Wireless Access Points?

QR Planet's Network Security Policy is in accordance with current security standards. All our network devices deny all access by default and are up to date.

Do network devices deny all access by default?

Yes. As required, all access attempts to QR Planet's network devices are denied by default and only permitted if necessary and explicitly allowed.

Do the firewalls have any rules that permit 'any' network, sub network, host, protocol or port on any of the firewalls (internal or external)?

No. All allowed Network traffic and ports are clearly defined and limited in their use. QR Planet's firewalls have no rules permitting 'any' network or port.

Are Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) employed?

We employ NIDS to monitor and analyze traffic for signs of malicious activities or security policy violations as crucial components of our cybersecurity.
