Information security plan
A plan of your own, aligned with your business objectives: assessed risks, policies written to measure and a security culture that reaches every employee.
- Duration
- 6 to 10 weeks
- Frameworks
- ISO 27001 and NIST CSF
- Scope
- Risks, policies and training
- Outcome
- Plan approved by management
The problem
Policies downloaded off the internet get signed and filed away. A plan works when it grows out of the real risks of your operation and someone is put in charge of each control with a deadline written next to it.
What it includes
Strategic security planning
A plan aligned with the company's strategic objectives, not a technical annex: security is defined from what the business needs to protect.
Comprehensive risk assessment
Identification of threats and vulnerabilities in information systems, with the prioritisation that underpins everything else.
Custom policy design
Policies covering everything from data handling to access to critical systems, drafted to meet the standards and regulations applicable to your sector.
Training and awareness
Programmes for staff that strengthen the security culture across the organisation, because a policy nobody knows protects nothing.

| Security plan Approved by management, with owners and deadlines. | included |
| Normative body General policy and procedures. | included |
| Risk matrix Live, with assigned owners. | included |
A plan with no owners is a wish list. Every control gets a name, a deadline and an assigned budget; whatever cannot be given an owner is declared an accepted risk and signed off as such.
