While companies increasingly have cybersecurity plans in place, they still often lack confidence in how effective or well understood it is. To help establish the effectiveness of any such plan, it’s a good idea to establish an overseeing governance program, which both manages cybersecurity planning, and encourages an overall cybersecurity mindset for the organization.
When building your cybersecurity governance plan, be sure to consider these six key steps, according to an article in TechTarget:
- Establishing the current state of your cybersecurity program
- Reviewing all your existing procedures and policies
- Considering what information and services are most critical to your company
- Building cybersecurity awareness among employees
- Understanding how risks are modeled
- Monitoring progress, and feeding those results back into to the governance program to guide future updates
