Security-Strategie

The starting point is where you stand and where you are. What do you know, what has been told to you, and what are the reasons why you are dealing with security? Are we talking about information security and/or IT security? In the first 2-hour discussion, we will cover all of this. By the end, you should have a clear picture of what approaches you need to take, which specific security clusters you need to address, which you can address, and which can be neglected for now. Always in alignment with your business strategy, your industry, and your requirements.

The second step focuses on assessing your maturity level—both of your systems and your people. We will evaluate where you have challenges in various areas. This is an assessment in which we will identify the areas that need attention and how critical they are. It covers technical implementation, governance/documentation, and the human factor. We will also take your pipeline into account. If you have already planned measures, we will evaluate them and consider them in our assessment. Perhaps some initiatives can be put on hold, and resources can be reallocated. In the end, we will identify the building blocks that need attention.

We will form the teams that will focus on the timeline for implementing the building blocks. By aligning time and resources, we will determine how the work will proceed. This will reveal whether external resources are required, whether the internal staff is sufficient, and how we will address processes that need modernization.

The overall plan is large and will therefore be divided into work packages to manage complexity and costs. The execution will be supported by classic project management. It is important to us to always speak your language and ensure that you are best supported. Through clear communication and close collaboration, the work packages will be carried out effectively and efficiently.

The more commitment there is, the more successful the transformation will be. All standards require that "management" prioritizes and embodies security. For this reason, everything related to security transformation is always a leadership responsibility. Accordingly, reviews will take place on fixed dates, during which the current status of the work packages will be discussed. Ideally, the review will run smoothly, everyone is informed, and the process continues. In reality, there will be decision templates presented during the review meetings for decisions to be made.

The final step is the last review meeting. What has been done, what has been learned, and how does the journey continue? Because it will continue. The “best of” the insights from our individually long collaboration will be compiled by us, making the project clear, understandable, and ready for documentation.
