1 Purpose & Introduction

The purpose of this report is to provide responses to the 22 questions presented by POL to Fujitsu on 06
March 2023. These responses are based on Fujitsu’s understanding of the questions presented by POL.
The responses relate to the current HNG-X environment for which Fujitsu is responsible for PAM and
RAM and seek to describe the position as at the date of issue of this document.

Although every effort has been made to avoid confusing technical jargon in this document, the very
nature of the service delivered to POL necessitates the use of many acronyms and phrases that may
need expanding upon to ensure the correct understanding. Fujitsu accepts that further explanation may
be necessary and encourages POL to seek clarifications if anything is unclear.

This report has been prepared with the input of numerous Fujitsu individuals and attribution of any
statements made in this report should be made to Fujitsu only. In preparing this report, the authors have
collectively characterised and summarised many internal Fujitsu documents. They have also described
processes and procedures which have been established over many years and may not be in written
form. Many of the documents, processes and procedures described in this report are continuously
updated and Fujitsu reserves the right to make changes to the way it works in the ordinary course of its
operations and business without obligation to update this document. POL should verify the position with
Fujitsu before relying upon any information or content from this document in the future.

The author has assessed the information in this report for risk of disclosure and has assigned an
information classification of FUJITSU CONFIDENTIAL. This report is also subject to further Information
Distribution statements at Section 9 in this report.

POL is invited to comment on this report to seek any additional clarifications it needs. Fujitsu will
endeavour to respond to any comments or clarifications requested and may, if it deems necessary,
provide an updated version of this report.

Fujitsu welcomes the opportunity to provide this report and looks forward to a constructive dialogue with
POL.

2 Background

On 06 March 2023, POL sent an email to Fujitsu titled “HIJ Remediation - PAM/RAM & Transaction
Processing External Assurance”. In this email POL stated, “please see below the areas that Post Offices
wishes to cover in relation to PAM and RAM for which we need Fujitsu support and engagement.” A
table was included as follows — comprising 22 questions:

Where possible, privileged access is only granted for a set time, for a specifically
documented task

Privileged access to each of the above identified systems, is via accounts with
password settings in line with Post Office password policy

2.6

There is a regular monthly review performed of all users with privileged access

27

When privileged access is granted, there are logging & monitoring controls over what
activity users perform; specifically.

§ All transactional activity performed by privileged users is written to the audit log on
the audit SAN

§ There is an adequate SOD between users with privileged access (as defined in the
Fujitsu report [COM/MGT/REP/4165] & users access to audit log files (Audit SAN).

§ There are alerting controls over any changes to the audit log files and/or all access
to the Audit SAN is read only

28

The audit SAN has remote access disabled & only authorised individuals can access
the Audit SAN locally

29

‘Access to privileged generic or system accounts is appropriately restricted and
monitored, specifically

§ All administrator accounts are individual where possible

§ Where generic or system accounts have to exist, access is restricted via an
appropriately secured password

§ Where generic or system accounts are required to be used directly, this is
appropriately approved via a ‘break glass’ approval

2.10

[sic]

‘Any changes to Privileged access process and/or controls are subject to change
management, including approval of changes by all required parties.

Remote

Where Fujitsu staff with Privileged Remote Access are not UK based, appropriate
security measures are in place to bring the access in line with UK based access
practices

44

No third parties / contractors have Remote Privileged Access

42

A monthly security report is provided to POL by Fujitsu detailing information on all
Privileged access in the month

43

During a discussion with POL on 21 February 2023, where an early draft of the questions was shared

with Fujitsu for discussion purposes, Fujitsu stated that it would prepare a report to respond to the

questions identified by POL once they were formally submitted.

The spirit of the discussion between POL and Fujitsu in relation to this report was to share content that
would allow both organisations to confirm the efficiency of the current ways of working together, and to
identify any ways to make meaningful improvements. Fujitsu believes in collaboration and welcomes

constructive suggestions from POL.

Terminology

In the “RA Report” [COM/MGT/REP/4165] Section 4 (extract here for ease of reference), Fujitsu
provided clarity on terminology:

“Remote Access relates to the following areas:

Remote Connectivity — The ability for specialist
support staff to connect to an environment to access
and provide support to a system from a location
other than where it is physically located.

Privileged Access — The ability for specialist
support staff to carry out operations on the system
that they have accessed — whether such access is
from a remote location or from the physical location
where the system is located.”

There are number of references within the questions POL has posed that Fujitsu wishes to map to these
definitions so that its responses can be correctly interpreted.

Term used by P' Fujitsu corresponding term
_ “Privileged Access” Privileged Access

“privileged generic or system accounts” Privileged Access
I “Remote access” Remote Connectivity

“privileged user” Privileged Access

“Privileged Remote Access" Remote Connectivity and Privileged Access
_“Remote Privileged Access" Remote Connectivity and Privileged Access _

3 Types of Privileged Access

In the “RA Report” [COM/MGT/REP/4165] Section 7 (extract here for ease of reference), Fujitsu
provided clarity on the types of Privileged Access required to support and maintain the systems that
comprise the contracted responsibilities.

“In summary, it stated the following types of Fujitsu Privileged Access:
e Windows Domain (NT) Administrators —- who administer the Windows platforms
e Unix Domain Administrators — who administer the Unix platforms
« Database Administrators — who administer the Oracle and MSSQL databases

e APPSUP Role - used for non-balance impacting actions (such as stock unit associations,
emergency branch opening, or monthly tidying of despatch reports). APPSUP is not used to
correct branch balance discrepancies or to amend financial transactions

* Transaction Correction Tool — used to insert transactions

The first three administrator types are used on a regular basis as required to keep the HNG-x systems
working as required.”

Additionally, in Section 2 of the “Horizon Data Changes Process Work Instruction”
[SVM/SDM/PRO/4293] Fujitsu explains the situations that mean it needs to make changes to data in the
Live HNG-X System in Belfast.

4 Responses

Fujitsu has provided its response by appending a column to the table of questions provided by POL. Numerous references are made to the “RA Report”
[COM/MGT/REP/4165] and ISAE3402 audit output titled “Description of Fujitsu's System of IT Infrastructure Services supporting Post Office Limited’s Horizon
application” (latest version dated March 2022). This report should therefore be read in conjunction with both these documents.

Fujitsu is currently being audited for ISAE3402 for the period 01 April 2022 to 31 December 2022 by Ernst & Young LLP for POL under CWO0703 with the report
estimated for release in May 2023. Fujitsu understands that Deloitte is an ISAE3402 auditor and will be familiar with the depth and breadth of the control reviews needed
to provide the responses for the ISAE3402 report.

Password use

Control A11.3.1: Users must be required to follow good security practices in the
selection and use of passwords.

All domains must comply with the following password policy for individuals:

a) Where passwords are used for authentication, the user must be forced to change
the initial password before any other access to the system is permitted.

b)

Passwords must expire in 30 days.

°)

Re-use of the same password must not be permitted for either a specified time or
until at least 4 other passwords have been used.

d) Passwords must be a minimum of 7 characters long and must be alphanumeric
(ie. a mix of letters and numbers). There must not be more than two consecutive
identical characters. The passwordI must not be the same as the username.

e)

After 3 consecutive unsuccessful attempts to log-on, the user must be locked out
for at least 30 minutes or until an administrator has replaced the password in
accordance with §11.2.2.

Passwords used to authenticate one process to another must be longer (12 characters
minimum) but need not expire. Such passwords may be stored on the system to which
they apply but must not be deductible by any users other than authorised system
management staff.

The following are the password rules POA implements for privileged accounts as documented in “POA
Privileged Account Policy” [SVM/SEC/POL/4538]:

When privileged access is granted,
there are logging & monitoring
controls over what activity users
perform; specifically

§ All transactional activity
performed by privileged users is
written to the audit log on the audit
SAN

§ There is an adequate SOD
between users with privileged
access (as defined in the Fujitsu
report [COM/MGT/REP/4165] &
users access to audit log files
(Audit SAN).

§ There are alerting controls over
any changes to the audit log files
and/or all access to the Audit SAN
is read only

I Fujitsu also conducts an internal Team Access Review (see references in the “Post Office Account User
I Access Guide” [SVM/SEC/PRO/0012]) to ensure all access verifications have been received.
I It should be noted that there is no specific PAM tooling within the HNG-X solution.

2.8 I The “RA Report” [COM/MGT/REP/4165] described logging in Sections 7.1.2, 7.2.2, 7.3.2, 7.4.3, and

I Fujitsu understands “transactional activity” to mean any actions taken on any Oracle production

I databases (not just BRDB) to amend branch transaction data by users with Privileged Access. All actions

I taken are logged to the SYS.AUD$ table which is then written to the Audit Archive.

I The actions that are logged are: LOGON; LOGOFF; SELECT; UPDATE; DELETE; INSERT; and

I EXECUTE (stored procedures). Using the LST system, each of these actions was taken on the BRDB

I iT), and the following was written to SYS.AUD$. LST was chosen to avoid unnecessary actions
being taken on the Live system. The Live system would have recorded the same output. An example

I LST SYS.AUD$ log is shared with this response. The filename is “LST SYS.AUD Log example

I 21.03.2023. pdf’. Please note that the user identity has been redacted and contains “XXXX".

Bullet 2
Access to the Audit Archive is restricted to

e Audit workstations (which have read only access to the Audit Archive and cannot be accessed
I remotely). This is described in “Audit Extraction Client User Manual” [DEV/GEN/MAN/0015]
I Section 7 — and is summarised here:

(Oracle7 behavior). The default setting of false ensures that system
privileges that allow access to objects in "any schema" do not allow access to
objects in the SYS schema.

For example, if O7_DICTIONARY_ACCESSIBILITY is set to false, then the SELECT
ANY TABLE privilege allows access to views or tables in any schema except the
SYS schema (data dictionary tables cannot be accessed). The system privilege
EXECUTE ANY PROCEDURE allows access on the procedures in any schema except the
I SYS schema. I

If this parameter is set to false and you need to access objects in the SYS
I schema, then you must be granted explicit object privileges. The following

I to dictionary objects:

The APPSUP role does have "ANY TABLE" privileges (e.g. DELETE ANY TABLE/SELECT ANY TABLE
etc) - but the role is only applicable to BRDB, and the role cannot DELETE from the SYS.AUD$ table
due to Oracle parameter O7_DICTIONARY_ACCESSIBILITY being set to FALSE.

5 Formal Audit Reports

POL commissions annual ISAE3402 audits which cover several of the areas of interest in this report.
References to the applicable Control Objectives within ISAE3402 have been made where possible.
Furthermore, POA are periodically requested to contribute to internal Fujitsu corporate audits to support
Fujitsu UK in attaining and maintaining a variety of certifications such as 1027001, ISO9001 and
1$022301

6 Conclusions

Although there are no contractual requirements or processes in place with POL for Fujitsu to report on
Privileged Access activities, the monthly Security Report that is provided to POL for the ISMF meeting
includes information on the Privileged Access types mentioned in the “RA Report”
[COM/MGT/REP/4165]. Fujitsu also provides that information weekly as described in the response to
question 4.3 above. Fujitsu also provides a list of the occasions (with associated references) when POL
permitted Fujitsu to temporarily grant the APPSUP role to stated Fujitsu specialist support staff. This is
also shown in the monthly Security Report that is provided to POL for the ISMF meeting.

7 Recommendations

POL and Fujitsu have discussed the topics of Remote Connectivity and Privileged Access on many
occasions over the years and during recent meetings. A compilation of recommendations was provided
in Appendix A of the “RA Report” [COM/MGT/REP/4165]. Progress has been made on all of the
recommendations.

Fujitsu strives for continual improvement and is committed to having an open dialogue with POL on
additional recommendations that could be further implemented where appropriate.
