Assist in developing an organizational understanding to managing cybersecurity risk to systems, people, assets, data, and capabilities. Understanding the business context, the resources that support critical functions, and the related cybersecurity risks enables the organization to focus and prioritize its efforts, consistent with its risk management strategy and business needs.
Protect
Outline appropriate safeguards to ensure delivery of critical infrastructure services. The Protect Function supports the ability to limit or contain the impact of a potential cybersecurity event.
Detect
Define the appropriate activities to identify the occurrence of a cybersecurity event. The Detect Function enables timely discovery of cybersecurity events.
Respond
Deliver appropriate activities to take action regarding a detected cybersecurity incident. The Respond Function supports the ability to contain the impact of a potential cybersecurity incident.
Recover
Identify steps to maintain plans for resilience and to restore any capabilities or services that were impaired due to a cybersecurity incident. The Recover Function supports timely recovery to normal operations to reduce the impact from a cybersecurity incident.
We Help you Build A Resilient Program
Identify Assets and Risks: Identify the assets (data, systems, applications, and people) that need to be protected and evaluate potential risks to these assets.
Develop Policies and Procedures: Develop policies and procedures that define the roles and responsibilities of all stakeholders (users, IT staff, management), the acceptable use of systems and resources, and the protocols for incident response and disaster recovery.
Implement Security Controls: Implement appropriate security controls (firewalls, antivirus software, intrusion detection systems, access controls, encryption, and authentication mechanisms) to secure the assets against identified risks.
Educate and Train Staff: Educate and train all personnel on the importance of information security, the consequences of non-compliance, and how to detect and report security incidents.
Monitor and Assess Security: Monitor and assess the effectiveness of the security controls and incident response procedures, conduct regular vulnerability scanning and testing, and adjust the controls as needed.
Maintain Compliance: Ensure compliance with relevant laws, regulations, and industry standards through periodic risk assessments, audits, and reporting as required.
Continuously Improve: Continuously improve the security program by incorporating new technologies, best practices, and lessons learned from security incidents and near misses.
