NEED HELP BUILDING YOUR CYBERSECURITY PLAN?
DOES MY INDUSTRY HAVE COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS?
COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS
The first step to determine what your organization’s cybersecurity plan should encompass is to determine if your industry has specific compliance requirements. A great resource for guidance on this topic are industry specific trade associations or your business focused legal counsel. Even if your industry does not have compliance requirements, you may need to implement stringent cybersecurity practices. Organizations with compliance requirements such as CMMC are now asking their downstream partners about their cybersecurity efforts to protect their own interests. In the case of healthcare, “business associates” that provide a service to, or perform a certain function or activity for a covered entity, are required to be HIPAA compliant. Examples of business associates include lawyers, accountants, billing companies, and IT service providers.
HOW SHOULD OUR ORGANIZATION APPROACH CYBERSECURITY?
APPROACH TO CYBERSECURITY
If you have determined that specific compliance requirements exist for your organization, the governing framework will dictate the extent of cybersecurity controls and processes that need to be implemented. If your organization is not bound to a compliance requirement, the right level of protection is up for debate. Many organizations believe they are too small to be the target of a cyberattack. In most organizations, the implemented controls are not adequate for a comfortable level of protection. While complete protection and 100% prevention of a breach is not possible, a multi-layer approach to cybersecurity will position most organizations to successfully combat the tactics of cybercriminals. For most organizations, this multi-layer approach is a cost effective alternative to the damage caused by a successful cyberattack.
