The Toolkit contains the following practical and powerful enablers with new and updated ISSEP specific requirements:

STEP 1: Get your bearings

Start with...


• The latest quick edition of the ISSEP Self Assessment book in PDF containing 49 requirements to perform a quickscan, get an overview and share with stakeholders.


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

Examples; 10 of the 991 standard requirements:


1. How does the Systems Security Engineering (SSE) process ensure proactive identification and detection of potential threats through threat hunting, and what role does threat intelligence play in informing threat hunting efforts?
   
   

2. What are the implications of cloud security architecture on business continuity planning and disaster recovery, and how does the SSE process ensure that these processes are integrated into cloud security controls?
   
   

3. What are some common examples of resiliency implementations in systems that rely heavily on third-party services or dependencies, and how do these implementations differ from those used in self-contained systems?
   
   

4. How does the risk management process help to prioritize and allocate resources to mitigate risk, and what are the implications of inadequate resource allocation on the overall security posture of the system?
   
   

5. What are the implications of cloud security architecture on incident response and disaster recovery, and how does the SSE process ensure that these processes are integrated into cloud security controls?
   
   

6. How does the concept of risk management align with the overall goals and objectives of the Systems Security Engineering (SSE) process, and what are the benefits of integrating risk management into SSE?
   
   

7. How does the disaster recovery plan ensure the timely and effective restoration of critical business processes and systems, and what are the key milestones and deadlines associated with this process?
   
   

8. In what ways does a security design provide a detailed and technical plan for implementing security controls, and how does this plan build upon the framework established in the security architecture?
   
   

9. How does the SSE process account for the security requirements of different business units and departments, such as finance, healthcare, and government, that may have unique security requirements?
   
   

10. What role does a security architecture play in ensuring that security is integrated into an organization's cloud and hybrid environments, and how does this integration impact the security design?

Results

In using the Toolkit you will be better able to:


• Diagnose ISSEP projects, initiatives, organizations, businesses and processes using accepted diagnostic standards and practices

• Implement evidence-based best practice strategies aligned with overall goals

• Integrate recent advances in ISSEP and put process design strategies into practice according to best practice guidelines


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 ISSEP investments work better.

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