Security Officer
Solutions
From a role without a mandate to a management system that withstands an audit.
Diagnosis
Difficulties and answers
| Difficulty | What is at stake | Service |
|---|---|---|
| The role exists but has no mandate | No time, no budget and no access to the board | SO-01 |
| We do not know where we stand | Without a baseline, priorities are impressions | SO-02 |
| We decide without a risk assessment | Investment driven by insistence rather than by risk | SO-04 |
| Suppliers are not assessed | Most incidents come in through the supply chain | SO-05 |
| The continuity plan has never been tested | Backups that have never been restored | SO-06 |
| Awareness does not change behaviour | One session a year, with no measurement | SO-07 |

Security that is not measured is not managed
Start with a maturity assessment or ask for a proposal to structure the role.
