7: Policy and procedures for effectiveness assessment

Oh no! No description found. But not to worry. Read from Tasks below how to advance this topic.

1. For the purpose of Article 21(2), point (f) of Directive (EU) 2022/2555, the relevant entities shall establish, implement and apply a policy and procedures to assess whether the cybersecurity risk-management measures taken by the relevant entity are effectively implemented and maintained.

2. The policy and procedures referred to in point 7.1 shall take into account results of the risk assessment pursuant to point 2.1 and past significant incidents. The relevant entities shall determine:

  1. what cybersecurity risk-management measures are to be monitored and measured, including processes and controls;
  2. the methods for monitoring, measurement, analysis and evaluation, as applicable, to ensure valid results;
  3. when the monitoring and measuring is to be performed;
  4. who is responsible for monitoring and measuring the effectiveness of the cybersecurity risk-management measures;
  5. when the results from monitoring and measurement are to be analysed and evaluated;
  6. who has to analyse and evaluate these results.

3. The relevant entities shall review and, where appropriate, update the policy and procedures at planned intervals and when significant incidents or significant changes to operations or risks.

The ISMS component hierachy

When building an ISMS, it's important to understand the different levels of information hierarchy. Here's how Cyberday is structured.

Framework

Sets the overall compliance standard or regulation your organization needs to follow.

Requirements

Break down the framework into specific obligations that must be met.

Tasks

Concrete actions and activities your team carries out to satisfy each requirement.

Policies

Documented rules and practices that are created and maintained as a result of completing tasks.

Never duplicate effort. Do it once - improve compliance across frameworks.

Reach multi-framework compliance in the simplest possible way
Security frameworks tend to share the same core requirements - like risk management, backup, malware, personnel awareness or access management.
Cyberday maps all frameworks’ requirements into shared tasks - one single plan that improves all frameworks’ compliance.
Do it once - we automatically apply it to all current and future frameworks.
