Business Security Assessment & Strategic Action Plan
Truths in Cybersecurity
- Without clear business alignment, your company will not prioritize security, nor will it effectively manage a security budget
- A truly business savvy security executive will have a truly business savvy aligned security strategy
- If you can’t communicate your security strategy in simple terms, you are wasting your time
- If you can’t find and keep the right people to execute your security strategy, you will not succeed, and the business’s security cost will sky rocket
Security Assessment Approach & Action Plan
Our five-step approach focuses on the cybersecurity information perception, needs and requirements of Board and executive team members. The approach is:
- Client Engagement
- Services Agreement
- Business Security Assessment
- Security Strategy Three (3) Year Plan
- Continuous Improvement
Within this approach we interview internal personnel across the following five (5) business areas:
- The board chair, key board member, or equivalent board position
- Non-security and technology executives
- The security department (lead security person and direct reports)
- Internal personnel about cloud service providers (store and compute)
- Internal personal about third party vendors
Security Assessment Strategic Intent
The strategic intent of the business security assessment is to build the framework to develop a three (3) year security action plan.
