Aligning to frameworks is a sound approach for building or maturing a cybersecurity program. Why start from scratch? Frameworks such as NIST Cybersecurity Framework and ISO 27001, for example, offer standardized and prioritized guidance for strategic decision-making and best practices. Creating a risk register, ensuring backup processes, and developing an asset management program for high-value assets are foundational. All are elements of a strong and holistic cybersecurity program.
