Notes

This is a space for keeping and discussing notes on the development on MIM6 - Security Management.

Meeting Notes

The (interim; awaiting formal approval) Champion of MIM6 is Södertälje Municipality. Welcome!
Working Group meetings will now be taking place on every fourth Thursday each month, lasting 90 minutes from 13:00-14:30 CE(S)T
A suggested new MIMs framework was presented. Discussion on it are ongoing. For MIM6, nothing will initially change
The immediate focus for the Working Group is to outline and establish Capabilities before outlining Requirements
Additional volunteers are welcome to start working on the MIM's Interoperability Guidance (which can cover a broad range of topics, e.g. infrastructure, implementation, procurement, required skills)

Agreement on the the MIM6 objective for MIMs 2024/MIMs Plus v7
Agreement that "risk assessment is a tool, not an objective" (and thus is not part of this version of the objectives)
Work started on discussing Capabilities. The following are early suggestions inspired by MIM1. The comments aim to reflect the thoughts of the audience during the meeting.
- C1: Applications are able to securely access data from different sources (such as cities, communities and vertical solutions).
- C2: Applications are able to use both current and historical data, use geospatial querying and be automatically updated when the source data changes. (Comment: Not relevant?)
- C3: Applications can discover and retrieve data relevant to their context from a variety of sources Covered by C1? (Comment: Covered by C1?)
- C4: Applications can retrieve a subset of data from a larger data set To detailed for MIM6? (Comment: Too detailed for MIM6?)

Are the following aspects in scope?

Things and southbound APIs
- Physical device security
- The sending to and from data sources (databses, data platforms, devices)
- Provisioning a data source: control plane interoperability (identity management and authorisation)
IoT/Data platform
- Communication between modules
- Sending of data to northbound APIs
Northbound APIs and marketplace enablers
- Sharing of data
- Connection to data spaces
- Identification, authorisation, and monetarisation of services
Focus on the data platform itself or also on central/external security systems?

Establishment of the MIM6 Working Group
Meetings to be held on a monthly basis where possible
Immediate goal: define an objective by early June 2024 for MIMs 2024/MIMs Plus v7
- Prior suggestion for objectives:
  - To develop a methodology to help identify security-related risks and choose the right measures to protect systems and data.
  - To provide cities with a framework for governance, risk management and control in the area of cybersecurity, along with a baseline of cybersecurity measures addressing the identified risks and providing a methodology for conducting regular maturity assessments.
