Cybersecurity Policy Architecture White Paper

by Sandy Bacik, Principal Consultant

In general, policy is a plan or course of action a business intends to influence, determine decisions, actions and other matters and an architecture is the art and science of designing and building something. A cybersecurity policy architecture is the cornerstone of an effective business strategy. Specifically, a cybersecurity policy architecture is the foundation of an enterprise protecting assets, a combination of administrative, technical, and physical protection.

A cybersecurity policy architecture needs to be based on executive directives to create an asset protection program, establish protection goals, measures, target and assign responsibilities using the enterprise business mission, vision, and values.
