Meeting Notes 03 November 2009 Security Team Office, Clippers House

Introductions — each explained role/remit.

Payment Card Industry (PCI) Compliance - Connie covered the PCI compliance
requirements. She explained that PCI requirements were part of the overall Security
Standard 27001 and that it was paramount that these requirements were met. She said that
Fujitsu had provided POL with one of the best systems she had seen in Europe and that
security had not been bolted on to our systems it had been built into it.

Each individual had a responsibility to comply with PC1 requirements and a good exercise
would be to consider that their own card details were in the POL system and for each to ask
the question ‘is my card in danger?’

In particular, her messages to the Security Team were that each process where sensitive
data was present should be examined and infringements to the standard should be identified
and remedial action taken. Some of the points for consideration were:-

* Elimination of duplicate and unnecessary storage of data — what is the retention and
disposal policy?

e Ensure processes relating to the management of sensitive data has management
signoff

e Has the JLT (joiners, leavers and transfer) process been reviewed? Is there a
written process for movers? Does the requisite form exist?

e POL card handlers may well be audited, make sure there are clearly documented

procedures

Ensure operational procedures are in line with policy

Review all relevant processes

Use the PCI learning module

Access management for sensitive systems and data is to be implemented

Are PAN numbers used as a reference point anywhere?

Only request a PAN from Fujitsu if it is really needed.

PANs will be provided by Fujitsu in the hashed and encrypted form — is the clear

PAN really a requirement?

Connie agreed to spend a day with the Security Team reviewing processes.

Transaction Data Changes - During this discussion Penny provided an overview and
comparison of current Horizon transaction data against Horizon data via HNG-X and HNG-X
data, along with other reference information. Details were left with the group for consideration
and reference.

4 She explained the PAN presentation for both PCI enhanced outlets and HNG-X data and the
: request requirement for clear PANs. A single decryption of a PAN would be a manual
process and a detailed audit trail of the decryption would be maintained. All such requests
would require a full audit trail; PAN decryptions would be logged on the audit workstation and
the process would be subject to full audit.

Continued PCI Compliance - Connie explained that the Fujitsu processes and retention of
historic data had been the discussion point for her with various POL/Fujitsu teams. Should
historic audit data be altered to conform to the requirements of PCI or would this action impair
the integrity of data? She was in the process of taking Fujitsu processes to counsel for end
to end review for guidance purposes.

Transaction Enquiry System (TES) Issues — Alan was asked whether there were any

/ problems with TES since the migration of the data centres. He said that initial reports were
that logging on was slower but that performance was OK now. A general discussion took
place and it was agreed that Alan would email a copy of the TES user guide to the Security
Team.

Horizon Integrity - Dave explained there had been recent press coverage which questioned
4 the integrity of Horizon data. This had been founded by Lee Castleton and articles had been
seen in Computer Weekly and The Grocer and had featured on the Welsh BBC News. A
team had been formed to review these accusations.

Requests for Information (RFI) - Dave presented the RFI summary YTD and agreed to
forward his analysis to Penny who would attach to the minutes.

Prosecution Updates - Dave presented the latest list of POL Prosecution Results which
would also be forwarded to Penny and attached to the minutes.

YTD Litigation/BQ Update - Penny presented the Litigation Support figures YTD which
showed a reduction in requests YTD verses YTD contract. Banking Query (BQ) request
figures were also provided. A copy of the analysis is attached to these minutes.

) AOB - PGP - Penny explained that PGP would to be used to encrypt all transaction data
which had been retrieved from the. audit servers; this would occur prior to burning to disc to
send to POL. Only the encrypted form would be retained on the audit workstations.

A general discussion followed concerning the mechanics of PGP use, including the exchange
of public keys and it was agreed that Dave King would be involved from POL. Connie said

--~- --  -I that this-was.a key issue-and needed to.be-resolved.as soon as possible and-should remain. .I_ -
an agenda item until that time.

Mark was asked to (a) identify those who required PGP installation; (b) to identify the budget
holder(s) and (c) to log the appropriate call with the POL helpdesk.

Date of Next Meeting — It was decided that the next.meeting would be early January 2010,
hopefully in the Fujitsu offices at Bracknell. Date and confirmation of venue would be agreed
nearer the time.

The migration of the POL Casework support function is now complete as Dave formally
handed his responsibility over to the Salford Team.
