Cyber-Governance
Cyber-governance (in the context of European of US-UK corporate governance structure) includes a range of concepts that all board members and senior managers should understand in order to provide appropriate guidance for corporations and other organisations. Commonly confused with cyber security governance.
Concept Cyber-governance may be defined as the areas of corporate governance related to information technology, data governance, cyber risk and cyber security and other cyber-topics.
Scope Cyber-governance is commonly interpreted as cyber-security governance. However, it should include a broad range of topics such as
- Cyber strategy ("bleeding edge", "if it aint broke don’t fix it", "dog-fooding" etc)
- Data management philosophy (aggressively acquisitive, respectful, minimally compliant etc)
- Cyber budget
- Cyber supply chain strategy : in house custom development, outsource, use standard tools…
- Cyber security
- Cyber risk
Development of the concept
The extension of the concept of cyber-governance from cyber-security governance to a broader concept approachable by all board and c-suite members is ongoing. Some agencies and businesses are starting to address the topic.
