Establish Effective Security Governance & Management

The key is in stakeholder interactions, not policy and process.

The Situation

The security team is unsure of governance needs and how to manage them.
There is a lack of alignment between key stakeholder groups
There are misunderstandings related to the role of policy and process.

Establish Effective Security Governance & Management visualization

The first phase of this project will help you establish or refine your security governance and management by determining the accountabilities, responsibilities, and key interactions of your stake holder groups.
In phase two, the project will guide you through the implementation of essential governance processes: setting up a steering committee, determining risk appetite, and developing a policy exception-handling process.
