Documentation tools
Documentation is an integral component of effective cybersecurity governance. The choice of appropriate tools for documentation varies according to the specific needs of each organization. This section provides a technical overview of several classes of tools used for cybersecurity documentation, including diagramming tools, configuration documentation tools, collaborative platforms, compliance management tools, and office products for general document editing or spreadsheet management.
Cybersecurity governance is contingent upon robust, detailed, and easily accessible documentation. This extends across the spectrum, from policies and procedures to configurations and network topologies. The landscape of tools available for achieving this is vast and includes specialized software for specific documentation tasks and more general-purpose office products for creating and managing documents and spreadsheets.
