Episode 64: Defining Your Data Management Standards

Cybersecurity Where You Are

In episode 64 of Cybersecurity Where You Are, co-host Sean Atkinson initiates a series around establishing an underlying policy for your organization's cybersecurity program. He begins by discussing how a policy provides an overview of the business rules, or standards, that will feature in the program. With each standard, he clarifies that you can take a procedural approach to upholding supporting elements. He then narrows his focus to managing data and information, including different types of data management considerations for your organization. Along the way, he points out how you can use resources from the Center for Internet Security (CIS) to drive continuous improvement in this space.
