Establish Effective Security Governance & Management
The key is in stakeholder interactions, not policy and process.
Book This WorkshopA lack of security governance and management usually leads to a state of near lawlessness that:
- Increases risk unnecessarily.
- Causes stakeholder groups to work in cross purposes due to a lack of formal accountability.
- Blurs the line between governance and management leading to ad-hoc decision making that undermines organizational standards.
Model your security governance and management around stakeholder interactions to:
- Avoid inefficiency and redundancy in business processes.
- Ensure accountabilities are assigned to a single stakeholder group.
- Assign management responsibilities to only those that need to execute them.
- Determine key stakeholder interactions and their necessary inputs and outputs.
