ID.GV-1: Organizational cybersecurity policy is established and communicated.

Oh no! No description found. But not to worry. Read from Tasks below how to advance this topic.

Policies and procedures for information security and cyber security shall be created, documented, reviewed, approved, and updated when changes occur.
Guidance
- Policies and procedures used to identify acceptable practices and expectations for business operations, can be used to train new employees on your information security expectations, and can aid an investigation in case of an incident. These policies and procedures should be readily accessible
to employees.
- Policies and procedures for information- and cybersecurity should clearly describe your expectations for protecting the organization’s information and systems, and how management expects the company’s resources to be used and protected by all employees.
- Policies and procedures should be reviewed and updated at least annually and every time there are changes in the organization or technology. Whenever the policies are changed, employees should be made aware of the changes.

An organization-wide information security and cybersecurity policy shall be established,documented, updated when changes occur, disseminated, and approved by senior management.
Guidance
The policy should include, for example:
- The identification and assignment of roles, responsibilities, management commitment, coordination among organizational entities, and compliance. Guidance on role profiles along with their identified titles, missions, tasks, skills, knowledge, competences is available in the "European Cybersecurity Skills Framework Role Profiles" by ENISA. (https://www.enisa.europa.eu/publications/europeancybersecurity-skills-framework-role-profiles)
- The coordination among organizational entities responsible for the different aspects of security (i.e., technical, physical, personnel, cyber-physical, information, access control, media protection, vulnerability management, maintenance, monitoring)
- The coverage of the full life cycle of the ICT/OT systems.

The ISMS component hierachy

When building an ISMS, it's important to understand the different levels of information hierarchy. Here's how Cyberday is structured.

Framework

Sets the overall compliance standard or regulation your organization needs to follow.

Requirements

Break down the framework into specific obligations that must be met.

Tasks

Concrete actions and activities your team carries out to satisfy each requirement.

Policies

Documented rules and practices that are created and maintained as a result of completing tasks.

Never duplicate effort. Do it once - improve compliance across frameworks.

Reach multi-framework compliance in the simplest possible way
Security frameworks tend to share the same core requirements - like risk management, backup, malware, personnel awareness or access management.
Cyberday maps all frameworks’ requirements into shared tasks - one single plan that improves all frameworks’ compliance.
Do it once - we automatically apply it to all current and future frameworks.
