Governance, Risk & Compliance

Although the classical organisation chart peaks with the chief executive who is actively involved in the governance of the incorporated entity, corporate governance mainly belongs to the Board of Directors. Since governance is distinctly different from management, the questions of how to separate the two activities and what should belong where arises.

While corporate governance is a complex and important area of the incorporated entity, it can be summed up using two simple terms:

Due Care. Due Diligence.
 

Board of Directors and executive management involved in the governance of the organisation need to ask the following two main questions in relation to the above terms:

What responsibility does my organisation have for protecting information, particularly information that belongs to others?
What responsibility does my organisation have to keep its information systems from being used to harm others?


In light of such questions it can be suggested that due care involves the establishment of information security controls, while due diligence involves the maintenance of such controls.

Leading Edge Information can provide comprehensive answers to the above questions using a systematic approach to address the governance concerns of Board of Directors and senior management relating to information security, risk and business continuity.

We also offer information security management solutions in framework format, including information security strategy, risk management, information security architecture, etc.

Gartner says: “By 2022, organizations that use the risk-based vulnerability management method will suffer 80% fewer breaches.”

Legacy vulnerability management is no match for today’s digital world

No matter how long you’ve been in cybersecurity, you know vulnerability management is essential to identifying and reducing cyber risk. Why? Because behind every major cyberattack is a vulnerability that was left unaddressed.

But, there’s one big problem: Over the last 20 years, the attack surface evolved, and vulnerability management failed to keep up with it.

FRAMEWORKS- HOW TO BUILD ONE?

I am often asked what information security framework I use. Well, there are plenty to choose from. Many of them are excellent and some are even useful. New frameworks are developed quite often. Some are simply rebadging an old one, calling it “cyber”. Others have plenty of thought put into it and are quite valuable.

GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)

Elizabeth Denham, the information commissioner in charge of data protection enforcement, says she is frustrated by the amount of "scaremongering" around the potential impact of the GDPR for businesses.
We agree. Here instead is the OAIC's guide to "Australian businesses and the EU General Data Protection Regulation" and if you have any questions, come and ask us.
