How To Initiate A Cyber Security Compliance Program
Companies that provided the best cyber compliance services swear by the following steps to initiate cyber security compliance programs in your organization.
Step 1 – Identification of cyber security compliance standards for your firm. This will differ based on industry. For example, the healthcare industry may have a different set of norms compared to the finance industry. It also depends on the type of data you work with. Also, specific controls may apply to certain kinds of data. You should be mindful of that as well.
Step 2 – Appoint a single person in charge of cyber security and compliance. This could be someone within the company who can handle the additional responsibility or someone new hired just for this job. This is important because cyber security compliance is an ongoing job and also because the employees need to know whom to contact in the event of a suspected security breach.
Step 3 – Conduct a risk assessment to know how vulnerable your system is. A risk assessment and a vulnerability assessment has 2 main goals. The first is to understand the weak links in your company’s security. The second is to identify and evaluate the existing system of controls.
Step 4 – implementing controls is the next step. These include but are not limited to
- -> Implementing a standardized anti-virus plan across the board.
- -> Installing firewalls.
- -> Encrypting sensitive data
Step 5 – The 5th step is the actual installation of policies, procedures and safety controls. These include technical as well as non-technical controls. It is best if the company’s policies themselves stresses the need for cybersecurity. These should be well documented and employees should be trained on the same. Periodic risk assessments should be conducted post-implementation too.
Step 6 – The final step is to review the controls that have been put in place. As the business grows cyber security can take a backseat. But it is important to have cyber security compliance at the heart of everything that you do.
