Why a Cybersecurity Framework?

The next core strategy that we will cover as part of the cybersecurity program is that of frameworks. There’s a possibility that your organization may have some form of security framework in place today. If not, it’s highly recommended you begin this journey right away to lay the foundation of your security program and strategy. It won’t be long before everyone will be required to implement some form of framework at some point. For example, more regulations continue to be enforced, in addition to cybersecurity insurance continually increasing the requirements to retain coverage. Also, if you suffer a major cybersecurity incident and data is exfiltrated, you may find yourself part of a lawsuit in which having a cybersecurity framework will show you were taking due care to reduce risk. If a cybersecurity framework was not being used, you can see where I’m going: the outcome will most likely be very bad.
