No matter what industry your organization belongs to or what territory you are in, there is likely at least one external regulation that requires you to raise cybersecurity awareness.
In addition, procedures and policies internal to your organization may also require - either directly or indirectly - that users be made aware.
Regulatory compliance is therefore one of the most common reasons why organizations implement an awareness plan.
The first step is to create and maintain an awareness program. In this program we must deliver content to the users. These contents must cover the clauses of the regulations we are interested in.
Throughout the awareness program, users are expected to complete all the contents necessary to comply with the regulations.
Depending on the amount of contents involved and the duration of the program, this may mean a greater or lesser burden on users.
The most popular regulations requiring cybersecurity awareness actions are:
It regulates the protection of personal data in the EU, imposing strict rules on its handling and storage.
Protects medical information in the U.S., ensuring the privacy and security of health data.
Manages information security through an Information Security Management System.
Ensures secure data management to protect the privacy and confidentiality of information.
It allows reducing cybersecurity risks through a framework focused on five fundamental pillars.
Protects payment card data through security requirements, technical controls and training.
