Security Control Frameworks with full details

Image
Security Control Frameworks In formalizing its security governance, an organization might implement a security control framework ; this is a notional construct outlining the organization’s approach to security, including a list of specific security processes, procedures, and solutions used by the organization. The framework is often used by the organization to describe its security efforts, for both internal tracking purposes and for demonstration to external entities such as regulators and auditors. There are a variety of security frameworks currently popular in the industry, each offering benefits and capabilities, usually designed for a certain industry, type of organization, or approach to security. The following list of framework examples is by no means exhaustive or intended to be exclusive; the security practitioner should have a working familiarity with the frameworks on this list, as well as whatever framework is used by their own organization (if any).

Security manager/security officer/security director roles and respnsibility

  Often, this is the senior security person within an organization. In some cases, the organization has a CSO (mentioned in the preceding entry of this list), in which case the security officer is a member of senior management.
