Episode 10 — Use Cyber Risk Frameworks to Align Security Work to Business Goals
Standardized frameworks provide the professional structure needed to align security operations with overarching business goals, and this episode introduces the primary models used in the industry today. We examine how frameworks like NIST Cybersecurity Framework, ISO 27001, and the CIS Critical Security Controls provide a common language and a repeatable methodology for managing cyber risk. The discussion highlights how these models help organizations identify their current security posture, define a desired future state, and track progress over time. We explain why using a recognized framework is essential for meeting the legal and regulatory compliance requirements we will explore in the next session. For the cybersecurity practitioner, frameworks act as a professional roadmap that ensures no critical control is overlooked and that the security program remains focused on the assets that drive business value. This understanding is a vital component of the GISF blueprint and a prerequisite for high-level security leadership.
