Key Challenges Addressed

In order to effectively implement a cyber security and compliance framework, organizations must have the skills and cyber security expertise in place to implement a vast amount of controls covering the systems, networks and services within their operating context and different technologies. 

To ensure this is not a tick box exercise or something that provides a false sense of security, this often requires specific expertise within areas such as operating multi-cloud and hybrid cloud and, for critical infrastructure organizations, Operational Technology (OT).   

Combine these requirements with the need to implement controls in areas such as compliance, security operations, penetration testing, incident management and cyber security make implementing frameworks a complex program or project. 

This typically results in higher operational overheads as well as additional complexity in implementing control frameworks and achieving certification. In turn, organizations may also lack certainty on the costs of such initiatives, with no guarantee of successful certification. 

Once the certification is achieved, there can be additional challenges in ensuring that management systems are properly handled and that security controls are effectively utilized to drive maturity and business value. This is often a missed opportunity, where gaps in control objectives under particular security standards may discourage organizations from seeking to meet other compliance frameworks in the future.

FAQs

Here are some commonly asked questions about Cyber Security Frameworks. If you’d like to learn more speak to one of our team.

A cyber security framework is a set of guidelines and best practices that help organizations protect their information assets from cyber threats. By following a cyber security framework, they can implement effective security controls and countermeasures to reduce the risk of a successful cyber attack.

The most popular cyber security framework is the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework. This framework provides guidance on how to identify, protect, detect, respond, and recover from a cyber attack.  

There is no one answer to this question as it depends on the specific organization and what its needs are. However, there are some general tips that can help. First, the organization should ensure that its cyber security framework is comprehensive and up to date. The framework should cover all aspects of cyber security, including but not limited to network security, data security, application security, and user security.  

One of the biggest costs associated with implementing a cyber security framework is the cost of training employees on the new system. This can be a significant expense for larger organizations but is often a necessary investment to ensure that the system is used correctly and effectively. 

A cyber security framework should be updated regularly to ensure that it is effective and up to date. The frequency of updates will depend on the specific framework and who is using it, but it is generally recommended that a framework be updated at least annually.

In some cases, more frequent updates may be necessary to keep up with the rapidly changing landscape of cyber threats. 

Several industry-specific cyber security frameworks have been developed in recent years. These include the Cybersecurity Framework developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) framework developed by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), and the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) developed by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC).
