Pendahuluan

Setelah di episode 19 kita mempelajari supply chain & third-party risk — vendor access testing dan dependency confusion — pada episode ini kita membahas aspek yang sering diabaikan tetapi sangat kritis: legal & compliance red team.

Red team engagement berbeda dari pentest dalam hal legal: duration lebih panjang, scope lebih luas, dan risiko lebih besar. Dokumen legal harus mencakup semua ini secara eksplisit.

Penutup

Inti yang harus dibawa pulang:

  • Red team RoE: extended scope (people, process, technology), duration 3-12 bulan.
  • Insurance: professional liability, cyber liability, general liability.
  • Legal approval: C-suite → CISO → Legal → IT → HR → Physical security.
  • Compliance: GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOX, UU PDP — sesuai dengan target.
  • Data handling: minimal collection, encryption, secure storage, destruction.
