- IT security and/or network managers are frequently stuck in fire-fighting mode, and are rarely able to dedicate the time to proactive planning.
- Compliance and well-publicized breaches are providing increased motivation for IT departments to focus on a forward-thinking plan, but they often have the misconception that it requires outside help.
- Unnecessary costs are often a result for organizations when they continue to not take their own actions or utilize the information that they already possess.
Our Advice
Critical Insight
- Creating a roadmap does not have to be overly complicated.
- If you get the right people in the room who will work hard, this project does not need a month to complete – you could finish a roadmap in two days using information your organization already possesses.
- Consulting firms will just ask you questions you know you should be asking yourself – save the money.
Impact and Result
- The short-term impact is that the process will prevent a lot of headaches and costs that an organization will experience if they attempt to create a roadmap through a consulting group.
- The long-term impacts include increased protection against risks, fewer problems with network breaches, less time spent firefighting, and security costs evening out and eventually lowering as issues are proactively addressed.
