This curriculum spans the design and operationalization of enterprise security programs with the breadth and technical specificity typical of a multi-workshop advisory engagement for mid-to-large organizations undergoing digital transformation.

Module 1: Security Governance and Risk Management Frameworks

  • Establishing a risk appetite statement aligned with board-level business objectives and regulatory exposure
  • Selecting and tailoring a compliance framework (e.g., NIST CSF, ISO 27001, or CIS Controls) based on industry sector and audit requirements
  • Conducting third-party risk assessments for cloud service providers using standardized questionnaires (e.g., CAIQ or SIG)
  • Implementing a risk register with quantified likelihood and impact metrics for executive reporting
  • Defining roles and responsibilities across CISO, legal, and business unit leaders in a RACI matrix for security incidents
  • Negotiating cyber insurance terms with underwriters based on current control maturity and historical breach data

Module 2: Identity and Access Management at Scale

  • Designing role-based access control (RBAC) structures that balance least privilege with operational efficiency in hybrid environments
  • Integrating enterprise identity providers (e.g., Azure AD, Okta) with legacy on-premises applications using SAML or SCIM
  • Enforcing multi-factor authentication (MFA) policies with adaptive risk scoring for high-value systems
  • Automating user provisioning and deprovisioning workflows across SaaS platforms using identity governance tools
  • Managing privileged access for third-party vendors through time-bound, audited jump hosts or PAM solutions
  • Conducting quarterly access reviews for sensitive data repositories with documented business justifications

Module 3: Secure Network Architecture and Zero Trust Implementation

  • Segmenting corporate networks using micro-segmentation policies in virtualized data centers
  • Replacing traditional perimeter firewalls with zero trust network access (ZTNA) for remote workforce connectivity
  • Enforcing DNS filtering and TLS inspection at the edge to prevent data exfiltration and malware callbacks
  • Deploying network detection and response (NDR) sensors to monitor east-west traffic for lateral movement
  • Negotiating firewall rule change processes that require peer review and change ticket justification
  • Designing secure hybrid cloud connectivity between on-premises infrastructure and AWS/Azure using encrypted transit gateways

Module 4: Endpoint Security and Device Hardening

  • Standardizing endpoint detection and response (EDR) agent deployment across Windows, macOS, and Linux fleets
  • Enforcing disk encryption, firmware password protection, and secure boot policies on corporate devices
  • Implementing application allow-listing on critical servers to prevent unauthorized code execution
  • Configuring mobile device management (MDM) profiles to enforce passcode policies and remote wipe capabilities
  • Managing patch compliance for operating systems and third-party software using automated deployment schedules
  • Responding to compromised endpoint alerts by isolating devices and initiating forensic memory capture

Module 5: Cloud Security and Configuration Management

  • Applying infrastructure-as-code (IaC) scanning tools to detect misconfigurations in Terraform or CloudFormation templates
  • Enabling cloud-native logging (e.g., AWS CloudTrail, Azure Monitor) with centralized SIEM ingestion
  • Implementing least privilege IAM policies in cloud environments using policy-as-code frameworks
  • Conducting regular reviews of public cloud storage bucket permissions to prevent data exposure
  • Integrating container security scanning into CI/CD pipelines for Kubernetes workloads
  • Establishing cloud security posture management (CSPM) dashboards for continuous compliance monitoring

Module 6: Incident Response and Threat Intelligence Integration

  • Activating incident response playbooks for ransomware events, including communication protocols and system isolation steps
  • Coordinating with legal and PR teams during breach disclosure to meet GDPR, HIPAA, or CCPA notification timelines
  • Deploying threat intelligence feeds (e.g., STIX/TAXII) to enrich SIEM correlation rules with IOCs
  • Conducting tabletop exercises with cross-functional teams to validate IR plan effectiveness
  • Preserving forensic evidence from affected systems in a chain-of-custody-compliant manner
  • Engaging third-party forensic firms under legal privilege for major incidents involving regulated data

Module 7: Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) Integration

  • Embedding security champions within development teams to review architecture and threat models
  • Integrating static application security testing (SAST) tools into CI pipelines with defined pass/fail criteria
  • Conducting threat modeling sessions for new applications using STRIDE or PASTA methodologies
  • Managing open-source software (OSS) risk through SBOM generation and vulnerability scanning tools
  • Enforcing secure coding standards for input validation, authentication, and session management
  • Performing penetration testing on production-like environments prior to major releases

Module 8: Security Metrics, Reporting, and Executive Communication

  • Defining key security performance indicators (KPIs) such as mean time to detect (MTTD) and patch latency
  • Translating technical vulnerabilities into business risk terms for board-level dashboards
  • Aligning security investment decisions with risk reduction outcomes using cost-benefit analysis
  • Conducting maturity assessments using models like CMMI or OWASP ASVS to prioritize improvement areas
  • Reporting on control effectiveness to auditors using evidence from automated compliance tools
  • Adjusting security strategy based on industry threat landscape shifts and emerging attack trends
