CYBER POLICY & FRAMEWORK DEVELOPMENT
Structures Applied to Help Understand, Prevent, and Recover from Disruptions
Structure and Flexibility Without Sacrificing Efficiency
A cybersecurity control framework that provides structure and flexibility, without sacrificing efficiency, will enable an organization’s security program to remain aligned with the business’ changing needs and opportunities. MorganFranklin works with organizations to create balanced security programs that are informed by a comprehensive understanding of each business’ critical operations, growth strategy, maturity, and overall IT methodology.
A cybersecurity control framework is a defined set of processes used to develop a strategy for managing cybersecurity risk. Serving a blueprint for building a cybersecurity program, the framework helps organizations manage risk, reduce vulnerabilities, allocate resources efficiently, protect valuable assets and define and prioritize the tasks required to improve an organization’s overall security posture.
