Identify the primary objectives for the CyberSecurity and vCISO services. These may include minimizing cyber risks, improving security posture, ensuring regulatory compliance, etc.
Define who will be involved in the processes and their roles. This includes both the cybersecurity team members and vCISO. Their responsibilities might include risk assessment, incident response, security policy creation, compliance monitoring, etc.
The cybersecurity team, along with the vCISO, should conduct an initial assessment of the current security landscape. This involves evaluating the existing security infrastructure, identifying vulnerabilities, and understanding the organization's risk tolerance.
Based on the initial assessment, develop a comprehensive security plan. This should include strategies for risk management, incident response, user training, and ongoing maintenance. The vCISO will usually take the lead in this, leveraging their strategic expertise.
Implement the security measures as per the plan. This might involve deploying new technologies, implementing new policies, or training staff.
Continually monitor the security landscape for potential threats. Use security information and event management (SIEM) tools to help with this. Regular reports should be made to relevant stakeholders about the ongoing status of cybersecurity efforts.
In the event of a security incident, follow the pre-defined incident response plan. This usually involves identifying the issue, containing the threat, eliminating the source of the breach, recovering systems, and learning from the event to prevent future occurrences.
The cybersecurity landscape continually evolves, so it's essential to regularly review and update the security plan and its implementation. The vCISO should lead this process, ensuring the company's security posture remains robust and resilient against new threats.
Ensure all measures and policies are in line with local and international data protection and privacy regulations. Regular audits may be necessary to guarantee ongoing compliance.
Ongoing training and awareness programs should be part of the process to ensure employees are familiar with security best practices and can recognize potential threats.
