Before delving further into Cyberfundamentals, we’ll address an issue that isn’t explicitly listed in the texts, but which is fundamental to meeting the following requirements: asset inventory. Indeed, “how do you protect what you don’t know?” is a well-known saying in security.

When we talk about security and compliance, we must also talk about documentation. It’s important to keep a list of actions to be taken, their progress, and their results throughout the lifecycle of an initiative.

As mentioned in a previous article, security begins with governance. Management must indicate its commitment to protecting information, set objectives, and describe the means to be implemented. Traditionally, this is done through a document: the cybersecurity policy.
Governance

In the previous article, we listed the basic practical measures to implement to achieve a minimum level of security. However, it is crucial to understand that your company’s security doesn’t begin with technology, but with governance. Installing antivirus software or enabling two-factor authentication will have only a limited impact if you haven’t first clearly defined who makes decisions, according to what rules, and based on what risks.
