Assessing Corporate Cybersecurityintermediate
Arrange the following steps in the correct sequence for adopting and implementing a cybersecurity framework within an organization.
Answer
Identify organizational objectives, assets, risks, and regulatory obligations, Select an appropriate cybersecurity framework tailored to the organization's context and resources, Map framework requirements and controls to governance policies and operational practices, Continuously review and update the implementation as operations and threat environments evolve
Explanation
### Why this is right
An organization first needs to understand its context and obligations. That information supports framework selection, which can then be mapped to actual governance and security practices. The approach should be reviewed as circumstances change.
### The order
1. **Identify the organization's objectives, assets, risks, and applicable obligations**: Establish the context for selection.
2. **Select a framework that fits the organization's context and resources**: Choose an approach based on the identified needs and capacity.
3. **Map relevant requirements to the organization's governance and security practices**: Connect the framework to how the organization actually operates.
4. **Review and update the approach as operations or obligations change**: Keep the approach relevant over time.
### Terms
- **Map requirements**: Connect external or internal expectations to the policies, controls, or processes that address them.
### Remember
Understand the context before selecting a framework, then map and review it.
