Organized in a data driven improvement cycle RDMAICS (Recognize, Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control and Sustain), check the…


• Example pre-filled Self-Assessment Excel Dashboard to get familiar with results generation


Then find your goals...

STEP 2: Set concrete goals, tasks, dates and numbers you can track

Featuring 997 new and updated case-based questions, organized into seven core areas of process design, this Self-Assessment will help you identify areas in which CCISO improvements can be made.

Examples; 10 of the 997 standard requirements:


1. What are the key considerations for establishing partnerships and information-sharing agreements with external organizations, including law enforcement, intelligence agencies, and peer organizations, to augment and enhance threat intelligence capabilities, and how would you develop a strategy for leveraging external threat intelligence feeds and sharing threat intelligence with partners?
   
   

2. What role would a CCISO play in ensuring that the IAM program is integrated with other security controls, such as threat intelligence, incident response, and vulnerability management, to provide a holistic and proactive approach to identity-based security, and how would they oversee the development of use cases and.playbooks for IAM-related security incidents?
   
   

3. What strategies would a CCISO employ to effectively manage identities across the entire lifecycle, from onboarding to offboarding, including the management of access requests, role-based access control, and segregation of duties, to prevent unauthorized access and ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive data and resources?
   
   

4. What strategies would a CCISO employ to ensure that the IAM program is scalable, flexible, and adaptable to the evolving needs of the organization, including the management of mergers and acquisitions, divestitures, and changes in the workforce, and how would they oversee the development of business continuity and disaster recovery plans for IAM?
   
   

5. In what ways would you, as a CCISO, oversee the development of information security awareness and training programs, and how would you ensure that employees, contractors, and third-party stakeholders understand their roles and responsibilities in maintaining the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive data and systems?
   
   

6. In what ways would a CCISO prioritize the need for advanced analytics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence in IAM to detect and respond to identity-based threats, such as credential stuffing, account takeover, and insider threats, and how would they balance the need for security with the need for usability and user experience?
   
   

7. What steps does the CCISO take to establish a collaborative relationship with the organization's compliance team to ensure that the information security program is integrated with the overall compliance program, and how does this collaboration facilitate the identification of potential compliance risks and opportunities for improvement?
   
   

8. How does a CCISO facilitate communication and collaboration between the information security team and other business stakeholders to ensure that the information security program is aligned with the organization's overall risk management strategy, and what mechanisms are put in place to ensure ongoing collaboration and coordination?
   
   

9. What are the key considerations for developing a mobile device security architecture that integrates with existing security controls, including identity and access management, network segmentation, and endpoint protection, and how can a CCISO evaluate the effectiveness of this architecture in reducing mobile device security risks?
   
   

10. How can a CCISO ensure that mobile devices are compliant with organizational security policies and regulatory requirements, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and what are the implications for data encryption, access controls, and auditing?

Defining, designing, creating, and implementing a process to solve a business challenge or meet a business objective is the most valuable role; In EVERY company, organization and department.

Unless you are talking a one-time, single-use project within a business, there should be a process. Whether that process is managed and implemented by humans, AI, or a combination of the two, it needs to be designed by someone with a complex enough perspective to ask the right questions. Someone capable of asking the right questions and step back and say, 'What are we really trying to accomplish here? And is there a different way to look at it?'

This Toolkit empowers people to do just that - whether their title is entrepreneur, manager, consultant, (Vice-)President, CxO etc... - they are the people who rule the future. They are the person who asks the right questions to make CCISO investments work better.

This CCISO All-Inclusive Toolkit enables You to be that person.
