Assessing Corporate Cybersecurityintermediate
A small organization with limited staff and budget is choosing an approach. What principle from the course should guide its decision?
Answer
Select an approach suited to its context, obligations, risks, maturity, and available resources
Explanation
### Why this is right
Framework selection is context-dependent. The course specifically includes organizational size, maturity, legal obligations, risks, budget, and staffing among selection considerations.
### The concept
A framework should help the organization manage relevant risk and meet its obligations in a way it can implement. A larger or more detailed approach is not automatically better if resources and maturity do not support it.
### The other options
- **Adopt the same framework as every large enterprise**: this ignores differences in size, risks, and resources.
- **Choose the framework with the largest number of controls, regardless of capacity**: volume alone does not ensure suitability or implementation.
- **Avoid considering legal requirements until after implementation**: obligations should inform selection and planning from the outset.
### Remember
Fit matters more than choosing a framework simply because it is large or popular.
